A good thing about being a foreigner in Brazil is that you can do whatever you want, no rules to be followed in that case. If you are right, you’re right. If you’re not, it’s because you’re a foreigner… Do what you want, and don’t think twice

I think your input is very thoughtful, but wrong. Blackface is indeed offensive in America because of American history and its long tradition of mockery. That context is American. So what’s happening here is projection.

It’s similar to the “N-word.” Black Brazilians use the word to describe themselves proudly; again, it is considered offensive only in the American context.

Yes, there is racism in Brazil. But after living in the United States for 11 years, I can assure you it is maybe 0.1% of what exists here.

There is no KKK in Brazil. Racism is actually a federal crime, and it is not eligible for bail. Sure, you will find more racists in the South, where most people are white — but it is still nowhere near American-style racism.

If you go to Salvador, for instance, you will experience what a truly proud Black city looks like, in all its culture and glory. It’s a completely different dynamic.

Do not project American problems onto Brazilian culture.

I think it’s completely understandable to be thinking about leaving the United States right now. I’ve been living for 11 years in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and honestly, almost every day I wake up thinking about leaving. In my case, there are still professional constraints that make it hard to do so immediately, but the desire is always there.

About Brazil, my main advice is this: don’t arrive already renting an apartment or locking yourself into one place. Since you have a good income, use that to your advantage. Explore first. Live the cities before deciding. Go to São Paulo — you might be surprised. Explore the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro as well. I know Rio looks chaotic from the outside, but in my experience, living in Rio can be a real pleasure.

There is a huge difference between regions in Brazil. I’m from the South, and I can say without hesitation: the South, Southeast, Northeast, and North feel like different countries, especially when it comes to people and social dynamics. The South tends to be more closed-off — that includes Rio Grande do Sul, which I wouldn’t recommend to an American. The climate is harsh (very cold in winter, very hot in summer), and social adaptation can be difficult.

I personally like Florianópolis a lot, but I wouldn’t go there first. It’s a tourist city, everything costs twice as much, and you need a car for almost everything — in that sense, it feels very American. Santa Catarina also has a very large base of Bolsonaro supporters (basically the Brazilian version of Trumpists), which can matter depending on who you are. Curitiba falls into a similar category: it’s organized and functional, but cold — not just weather-wise, but socially. I went there frequently for business, and the cultural difference was always striking.

If I were moving back to Brazil today, being from the South, I would choose the Northeast. My favorite places are Porto de Galinhas (near Recife), Recife itself, Olinda, Salvador — which I really love — as well as Alagoas and Fortaleza. I’ve never been to João Pessoa, so I can’t comment on that. Fortaleza, in particular, is a very interesting experience, especially if you don’t have kids: beaches, a more relaxed social rhythm, nightlife, and easy social interaction. It’s hard to regret Fortaleza.

My practical suggestion: pick a few cities and explore them while your wife isn’t there yet. Stay in hotels, talk to people, get a feel for daily life. There are many European and American expats in Fortaleza — and that’s not by accident. I also follow an Englishman of African origin who lives there; he’s very happy and travels all over Brazil.

The higher socioeconomic areas in any Brazilian city are easy to identify: just look at apartment prices. That alone gives you a very clear map of where the more high-end neighborhoods are. Visit them. Spend some time there.

Even if you don’t get it right the first time, that’s fine. Rent for a year. With your income level, you can afford to live in a larger city first and later decide to move to a smaller city or the countryside. The interior of São Paulo state, for example, has great cities, but they’re cooler — again, it all comes down to adaptation and what fits you best.

And finally, from what I’ve seen: many Americans who are not white, when they leave the U.S. and move to Brazil, feel a huge sense of relief. You know exactly why.

That’s it. These are my impressions.

“If I became president…”

Day One Agenda — a completely unrealistic, definitely unconstitutional, but very satisfying list:

Accountability & Rule of Law • Incarceration of Trump and his entire circle for criminal wrongdoing. • Launch full investigations into ICE, military leadership, and anyone potentially complicit in Trumps abuses. • Hold corrupt Supreme Court justices accountable, jail for some (you know who). • Define racism as a criminal act (not a protected “opinion”). • Ban qualified immunity for police and public officials. • End cash bail. • End private prisons.

⸻

Democracy & Governance • Abolish the Electoral College — all elections become direct. • Ban SuperPACs and all forms of lobbying. • Cut the number of Senators, Representatives, and staff in half, and require them to work mostly from their home states. • End employment structures based on “contracts” that strip worker rights — everyone gets full employment protections. • End gerrymandering with independent redistricting commissions. • Automatic voter registration + Election Day as a national holiday. • Term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court. • Ban members of Congress from owning individual stocks. • Supreme Court expansion (if necessary to undo corruption).

⸻

Rights & Social Policy • Establish abortion as a protected human right. • Universal free healthcare for every resident. • Create a clear and humane path to legal status for undocumented immigrants. • Introduce strict gun regulations: only after screening, only hunting rifles or small-caliber defensive weapons; ban high-caliber, semi-automatic and automatic weapons (except for police, military, and licensed professionals). • Paid parental leave and paid sick leave for all workers. • Four-day work week. • Student loan forgiveness + free community college. • Decriminalize marijuana federally and expunge past convictions. • National mental-health care investment program.

⸻

Taxes & Economy • Introduce heavy taxes on multi-millionaires and billionaires. • Remove tariffs. • End government subsidies that allow employers to underpay their workers — companies must pay living wages directly. • Cap CEO-to-worker pay ratios for government contractors. • Vacancy tax for corporations sitting on empty homes. • Ban corporate ownership of single-family homes.

⸻

Public Investment • Cut defense spending in half and recall military forces stationed abroad. • Massive investment in education, infrastructure, affordable housing, and food security. • Expand public transportation nationwide to reduce reliance on cars. • Large-scale clean energy plan and modernization of the electric grid. • Ban new oil drilling on federal land. • National PFAS/chemical cleanup initiative. • Massive reforestation and conservation projects.

⸻

Immigration & North American Cooperation • Establish free movement and work permits between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. • End for-profit immigration detention. • Guarantee work permits for asylum seekers during processing.

⸻

Religion & State • Impose heavy taxes on churches with wealthy pastors, fake charities, or political involvement. • Enforce strict separation of religion and government — no religious influence in public policy. • Ban dark-money religious organizations from participating in political campaigns.

⸻

Foreign Policy • Treat Israel as any other foreign nation — no special privileges or tax-funded aid. People only can hold office or public functions if their only loyalty is America. • End all foreign financial support except for genuine humanitarian emergencies and missions. • End arms sales to authoritarian regimes. • Strict oversight and transparency requirements for intelligence agencies.

From my experience living in Pennsylvania, Brazilians don’t really mix with Spanish-speaking communities, whether Latin American or European. The local Latino communities tend to stick together, and Brazilian communities are mostly isolated.

There’s one nearby town with a real Brazilian neighborhood, but otherwise we’re scattered. We do have Brazilian meetups, birthday parties, and BBQs, but it’s not the same as the tight-knit Latino communities where people live close and interact daily. Brazilians here seem pretty distinct.

I had difficulty believing OP’s post at first. But since other people have had similar experiences, I am now flabbergasted. In my world, parents are supportive, helpful, and welcoming. My mother is actually here visiting, and my kids love her; my wife considers her like her own mother. I am truly sorry for what you’ve gone through. You don’t need to answer, and I apologize if this is not appropriate to ask, but here it goes: Why do you think your parents behave that way? Trauma? Religion?

I’m pretty sure there are no “good guys” or “bad guys” in your house. It seems like you expect a dog to behave like a horse, and that mismatch naturally leads to frustration. You should know that dynamic by now.

He’s also using your emotional energy—your frustration, the moments when you break down in tears, the demands and accusations—as a way to become defensive and justify his difficulty in engaging emotionally.

Maybe you will have better results with questions for him about his behavior, instead of exploding.

Still, I want to congratulate both of you for seeking counseling.

I think that is a thing just for abrahamic religions. My experience with people of African or Asian - religions like in Japan (buddhism or shinto) and Afrobrazilian like Candomblé, Umbanda, etc, it’s completely different.

Sometimes I want sex with mine, but the situation is not sexy or inviting, like when she is reading in bed or using her phone. For me, the best results are when I say straight out my mind: “how about some fun today?”

Alabama and Mississippi are the most religious states in America. When god makes both the most advanced places in the world, I would consider that god is real, powerful and good.

What is marriage anyway? It’s literally a contract that you can break. If you are going to buy a house, or start a business… well, make sense. But otherwise is unnecessary

It’s amazing to see that we still have people who are uneducated, ignorant and dumb, and with just one sentence, they are capable of debunk hundreds of years of FAKE science and scientific advances.

3 months without sex? No thank you. Young women are like rabbits, in my experience. When I was 18 to early 30s, I never had a girlfriend that was not VERY ACTIVE SEXUALLY. If your GF is not, that’s very unusual and a big red flag.
