Ok, I'm sorry. Your country clearly is not bigoted at all, your people consistently support the poor and would never consider leaving them in the gutter and you are not jingoists at all, you are a people who wish peace above all and all the american wars and interventions were absolutely justified (including the installation of 20 years of millitary dictatorship in my country, that left us a billionary debt to - guess who? - United States)

The swing to sarcastic exaggeration about the US doesn't help you any.
BTW, if you want to understand a lot of Brazil's economic problems, look at your own politicians' history of graft and corruption, the most recent example of which is the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff for corruption and Eduardo Cunha's Petrobras graft-laden diaper--you can't lay the blame for that here.
Still chopping down the Amazon rainforest?
This reminds me a video of an US soldier in Iraq complaining that his entire horizon is just destruction and desertified landscape.
Now even I am surprised you believe that. That Dilma and our recent president created the majority of our economic problems, problems that actually exists for more than 20 years (and that this situation have clearly been improved).

Bullshit: Rousseff and Cunha are both avaricious grafters: they are not a US problem--they are your problem.
Yes, this was not questioned. What I said is that our recent president did not created the majority of our economic problems, since most of them actually exist for more than 20 years, and in most cases our situation have actualy been improved. Most problems arouse or intensified in our millitary period, which was installed by the CIA.
Why am I even responding to a tu quoque argument? Even if you actually pointed problems that could be caused by the mindset of the brazilians (which certantly exists, but there is zero chance that you would know them), none of this erase the fact of US problems I mentioned.

How do you know what I know about Brazil? You don't, so you can't make such a ridiculously sweeping statement.
Aren't you an american? Americans are incapable of a critical look inwards for their own country and even more incapable of looking outward to the rest of the world. That's just the result of how much propaganda they digest.
Many are...many are not. America may have 'united' in it's name but it is anything but. If major cities could extract themselves from the rural areas that surround them and merge you would see a much more "United States". The rural areas could form their own Iran-like theocracy while the cities could become more northern European economically and politically.
That's a popular fairy tale that attempts to put all the faults of Amerikkka on groups that are themselves oppressed in other ways, further demonizing them. Ignorant people on rural zones, old people who should just die already, toothless poor white trash on the deep south, etc, etc, etc.
Huuum not actually. The cities are all blue.

Blue Cities, Red States
As far as 'further demonizing them" how are you different with your "Amerikkka" banner?
That's not a demonization, you are living in a country that really runs on white supremacism and it's resulting global policy - imperialism.
I would take it to a higher level. We are living in a world of lightness supremacy (colorism). If you spent anytime travelling you know from one side of the world to the other the lighter you are the better you are a.k.a. colorism.
No need to demonize one country when it's prevalent everywhere which leads to the topic is it innate?
Racism is Innate: The Human Brain Makes Unconscious Decisions Based on Ethnicity
And if you really want to discuss we are living the end days now in a world of human supremacy which is far more destructive than white supremacy.
The article distorts the findings of the study in question. Just because functional ressonance showed how racism is processed doesn't mean it is innate or "hardwired". All mental process are mediated by brain physiology, thinking otherwise is expecting human behavior to come from the immaterial. There is, in fact, no reason at all to think racism is innate. Even our notions of who's white changes according to the imposed mindset of our times: not long ago, nobody would consider the irish, the slavs or the jews to be white. How racism is it innate if race is a changing social construct? It is not.
And human superiority to other animals is a fact. That is no paralel we can make with mysoginy or white supremacy unless we are legitimazing "scientific" racism.
if you want to know if you have an implicit bias....
yale has developed an implicit bias test... for just about everything...
of course it's housed at harvard ;-)

Exactly what do you think tribalism is but an ancient version of racism? And tribalism has been with humanity for thousands of years. Tribes fought other tribes and the human brain almost instantly recognizes someone from "other" tribes. Colorism is worldwide long before American "imperialism" as you call it.
And human supremacy "a fact"? How absurd. Technology which is about the only thing humans have over the other animals on the planet. We are not much different than a matastic cancer taking over and killing the host. The planet if not ourselves will correct this imbalance and resign us to the same geological fossil record as all the other prior life forms that have vanished.
Humans are just a branch from the same tree of life that underpins all life on the planet. Though arrogance and hubris has most fancing themselves as separate and distinct which clearly we are not.
Molecular DNA Switch Found to be the Same for All Life
BERKELEY, CA —The molecular machinery that starts the process by which a biological cell divides into two identical daughter cells apparently worked so well early on that evolution has conserved it across the eons in all forms of life on Earth. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have shown that the core machinery for initiating DNA replication is the same for all three domains of life – Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya.

Yes these tests have been around while and too bad we all aren't encouraged to take these tests to help ourselves be better people.

1.) Since Trump is not yet president, he can't protect a class, can he?
2.) You still never provided what that 'Trump Protected Class' was' why?
We can make predictions about how a person will behave by knowing what he believes and we can learn what a person believe by analyzing his previous acts and speeches. Trump is an alt-right, one of the requirements to be considered a human being and a citizen is being straight.
Don't lash on me for being patronizing and stating the obvious while all you do is asking for the obvious repeatedly.
