1Brazil: Can black people drive luxury cars?Brezila: Mba afaka hitondra fiara raitra ve ny mainty hoditra?
2Towards the end of August the simmering debate about racism and prejudice in Brazilian society was stirred up by a case that has provoked outrage throughout the country.Tany amin'ny faran'ny volana Aogositra tany, nipongatra indray noho ny tranga iray nanaitra ny sain'ny maro manerana ny firenena mihitsy ny resaka fanavakavahana sy fitsarana ivelany eo anivon'ny fiarahamonina Breziliana .
3Januário Alves de Santana, a black man in his late thirties, was beaten by a couple of security guards as he waited for his wife and children in the car park of one of the largest international retailers in Brazil.Januário Alves de Santana, lehilahy mainty hoditra iray eo amin'ny faha-telopolon'ny taonany eo, no voadaroky ny mpiambina roalahy raha iny izy niandry ny vady aman-janany teo amin'ny faritra fametrahana fiara tamina iray amin'irony toeram-pivarotana lehibe iraisampirenena any Brezila irony [toy ny Shoprite aty Madagasikara].
4He was accused of trying to steal his own car [pt].Nampangaina izy ho nikasa hangalatra ny fiara izay azy ihany [pt].
5The attackers clearly thought that because he was black he wouldn't be able to afford a Ford EcoSport (a model of car considered upmarket in Brazil).Ireo mpanafika azy dia nihevitra mazava fa hoe satria mainty izy dia tsy tokony ho afaka hanjifa Ford EcoSport ( karazana iray raisina ho isan'ny lafo vidy any Brezila).

7Rachel Glickhouse, from Adventures of a Gringa, describes the course of events of August 7th in detail, as told by Januário.Rachel Glickhouse, avy amin'ny Adventures of a Gringa, dia mamaritra ny fizotry ny zava-nitranga tamin'ny 7 Aogositra amin'ny antsipirihany, araka izay nambaran'i Januário.
8She blogs in English:Izy dia miblaogy amin'ny teny Anglisy:
9Standing outside of the car, he noticed more suspicious men approaching him.Nijoro teo anilan'ny fiarany izy, voamariny fa nisy lehilahy roa mampiahiahy tamy nanatona azy.
10Then one-who was actually a security guard-approached him and took out a gun.Avy eo ny iray- izay mpiandraikitra ny fiambenana ihany- nanatona azy sady namoaka fitaovam-piadiana.
11He attacked Januário without identifying himself, and Januário didn't know if it was a mugger or a cop.Tonga ilehio dia namely an'i Januário tsy nisy alaharo alaharo, ary Januário tsy nahalala akory na jiolahy io na mpitandro filaminana.
12While they struggled, passersby called for help, and Januário thought he was saved.Nandritra ny fifampitoloman'izy ireo, nianjo vonjy ireo mpandalo, ary i Januário dia nihevitra fa avotra izy.
13Several security guards from Carrefour approached, and he explained that it was a misunderstanding-he was not in fact trying to steal the motorcycle nearby.Mpiambina marobe avy ao amin'ny Carrefour no tonga nanatona, ary nazavainy fa resaka tsy mifankahazo izy ity- tsy nieritreritra izay hangalatra ilay kodiarandroa teo anila teo izy.
14The security guards grabbed him and took him inside to a small room to “work out” what had happened.Nosamborin'ireo mpiambina izy ary nentina niditra tanaty efitrano kely iray “hanazava” hoe inona no nitranga.
15“So,” they said, “you stole an EcoSport and were trying to take a motorcycle, too?”“Raha izany,” hoy izy ireo, “ nangalatra EcoSport iray ianao ary avy eo mbola nihevitra ny haka kodiarandroa iray koa?”
16The five security guards then proceeded to beat Januário senseless, in what the original report called “a torture session,” hitting, punching, headbutting, and pistol-whipping him, knocking out his teeth and leaving him bleeding heavily.Dia niditra tamin'ny fidarohana tsy ampieritreretana an'i Januário ireo mpiambina dimy, izay nambaran'ny tatitra voalohany ho “ampaham-potoana fampijaliana,”tehamaina, totohondry, ary vodibasy, daroka amin'ny nifiny ka nahatonga azy ho boba-rà.
17Januário says he tried to explain that the car was his, and that his baby daughter was inside while his family was shopping.Januário nilaza fa niezaka ny hanazava ihany ny maha azy ny fiara izy, ary tao anatiny [toeram-pivarotana] tao ny zanany vavikely raha niantsena ny ankohonany.
18His attackers ignored him.Tsy niraharaha azy ireo mpanafika azy.
19“Shut up, n*****.“Mangina, n*****.
20If you don't shut up, I'll break every bone in your body,” one of them yelled.Rehefa tsy hangina ianao, hotapatapahako daholo ny taolam-batanao rehetra” hoy ny iray tamin'izy ireo nandrahona.
21They laughed when he insisted it was his car.Nikakakaka izy ireo rehefa nisisika izy nilaza fa azy ny fiara.
22The beating lasted around twenty minutes, before the police arrived.Naharitra roapolo minitra teo ny faharetan'ny daroka talohan'ny nahatongavan'ny pôlisy.
23And she adds that “the torture wasn't over yet”, even after the arrival of the police:Ary mbola nampiany fa “tsy nitsahatra hatreo akory ny fampijaliana”, fa na dia taorian'ny nahatongavan'ny pôlisy aza:
24One of the military policemen, by the name of Pina, didn't buy Januário's “story.”Iray tamin'ireo pôlisy, antsoina amin'ny anarana hoe Pina, no tsy nino ny “tantaran'i” Januário .
25“You look like you've been in jail a couple of times.“Sahala amin'ny olona efa nifonja matetika ianao e!.
26Come on, fess up, it's ok,” the police officer said.Alefa moa e, mba miaiky, ao izay an,” hoy ilay manamboninahitry ny pôlisy.
27Another police officer didn't believe he was a security guard, and started quizzing him about security rules.Pôlisy iray hafa no tsy nino ny maha-olona mpisahana fiambenana azy teo aloha, ka dia nanomboka nanadina azy momba ny fitsipika fisahanana fiambenana.
28Finally, the police went to Januário's car and confirmed it did in fact belong to him and his wife.Farany , nandeha nankeny amin'ny fiaran'i Januário ilay pôlisy ary nanamarina fa azy sy ny vadiny tokoa ny fiara.
29His family was there, shocked to see him bleeding with cracked teeth, and his daughter was still asleep in the car.Teo ny ankohonany, tohina mafy nahita azy vonton-drà sy vaky nify, ary ilay zanany vavikely mbola resin-tory tao anaty fiara.
30The police left without offering to send an ambulance or helping him.Dia lasa fotsiny tsy niantso fiara mpamonjy voina na nanampy azy ny pôlisy.
31Taken to hospital by his family, Januário was treated for shock and lacerations.Nentin'ny ankohonany tany amin'ny hôpitaly, notsaboina noho ny dona sy ireo ratrany i Januário.
32He has since lost 8 kilos, has been suffering from insomnia and has not been able to return to work.Very 8 kilao izy hatreo, misedra tsy fahitan-tory ary tsy mbola afaka miverina mamonjy ny asany.
33Last Thursday, he underwent an operation to correct a bone fracture in his skull.Tamin'ny Alakamisy lasa teo, niatrika fandidiana ho fanitsiana ny taolana tapaka tao amin'ny karandohany izy.
34The family has logged a complaint with the local police, but according to the police version, his beating was a result of “a disturbance” and “a fight between a few shoppers”.Nametraka fitoriana ny pôlisy ao an-toerana ny fianakaviany, saingy araka ny filazan'ny pôlisy, ny daroka nahazo azy dia vokatry ny “korontana” sy “ fifanjevoan'ny samy mpividy vitsivitsy”.
35Carrefour has issued a statement expressing its regret at the misunderstanding and saying it will cooperate with the investigations [pt].Carrefour dia namoaka ny fialantsininy noho ilay resaka tsy nifankahazo ary nanambara fa vonona handray anjara amin'ny fanadihadiana[pt].
36Meanwhile, Januário plans to take both the retail chain and the State of São Paulo to court, and to sell the car, which he is still paying off in R$789 [approximately $419] instalments, spread over a set of 72 instalments.Na izany aza, i Januário dia mihevitra ny hitory eo anatrehan'ny fitsarana ilay vondron'orinasam-barotra sy ny Fanjakan'i São Paulo, sy hivarotra ilay fiara, izay mbola aloany R$789 isam-bolana [eo amin'ny $419 eo ho eo] , mandritra ny 72 volana.
37The case has had repercussions all over the country, with most people sympathizing with Januário, but this is not the first time that something like this has happened.Nanako nanerana ny firenena ilay tranga, ary maro ny olona naneho firaisankina tamin'i Januário, saingy tsy vao voalohany no nitrangan-javatra toy izao.
38As the Censurado [Censored, pt] blog points out [pt], many other acts of prejudice against black people have been committed by the security personnel of this same retail chain.Araka ny anasongadinan'ny blaogy [pt] Censurado [Voasivana, pt], fihetsika maro hafa manohintohina ny mainty hoditra no efa nataon'ireto olona mpiandraikitra fiambenana an'ity vondron'orinasam-barotra ity.
39The blogger ironically asks the readers:Teny maneso no entin'ny mpitoraka blaogy manontany ireo mpamaky:
40I want some advice from my readers.Te-hahazo toro-hevitra vitsivitsy avy aminareo mpamaky ahy aho.
41If I happen to need to buy something, some shampoo, say, in Carrefour, should I take a white friend with me?Raha mba te-hividy zavatra aho, shampoo, ambarao, ao amin'ny Carrefour, tokony hitondra namana fotsy hoditra ve aho hiaraka amiko?
42Maria Frô [pt] replicates the original news story by AfroPress [pt], adding a different headline that paraphrases the Brazilian bestseller “Não Somos Racistas” [We Are Not Racists] by journalist Ali Kamel.Maria Frô [pt] mamerina mamoaka ny lahatsoratra momba ilay tantara navoakan'ny AfroPress [pt], sady manampy lohateny lehibe iray miventy ilay bestseller Breziliana“Não Somos Racistas” [tsy mpanavakava-bolon-koditra isika] an'ilay mpanao gazety Ali Kamel.
43The title of her blog post is:Ny lohatenin'ny lahatsorany ao amin'ny blaogy dia:
44Indeed, according to Kamel, we're not racists.Eny, raha ny lazain'i Kamel, tsy mpanavakava-bolon-koditra isika.
45We're just almost murderers.Mpamono olona fotsiny ihany isika.
46The Pão e Rosas [pt] blog vehemently repudiated the case.Ny blaogy Pão e Rosas [pt] dia manakiana mafy tokoa ilay tranga.
47It follows the same line of argument, disputing the myth that cultural melting pot Brazil is a harmonious racial democracy:Manaraka ny lalan-kevitra iraisana izy ity, miresaka ny anganongano manao hoe ny kolontsain'ny melting pot Breziliana dia demokrasia narindra ara-poko:
48Whilst the intelligentsia, bourgeois politicians and mass media insist that “we are not racists”, scandals like this surface and show us how racism manifests itself in many violent and repugnant ways.Raha mbola ny intelligentsia, ireo mpanao pôlitika bevozona sy ny media taka-bahoaka no misisika miteny hoe “tsy mpanavakava-bolon-koditra isika”, hipongatra foana ny zava-doza toy ity ary haneho amintsika ny fomba fisehon'ny fanavakavahana amin'ny endrika maherisetra sy mampahonena.
49The complete fallacy of racial democracy collapses in cases like this, and we could list many others that caused outrage at the time but were soon forgotten, mostly remaining unpunished.Ny fifanoheran-kevitry faratampon'ny demokrasia ara-poko dia mifototra amin'ireo tranga toy ity, ary azontsika tanisaina ireo maro hafa nanohina tamin'ny fotoan'androny nefa dia adino mora foana avy eo, izay maro no tsy nahazo sazy akory.
50Juarez Silva Jr., from Blog do Juarez [pt], wonders if it is indeed true that discrimination against black people in Brazil is a social, not racial, problem:Juarez Silva Jr., avy amin'ny Blog do Juarez [pt], dia manontany tena raha marina tokoa fa ny fanavakavahana mahazo ny mainty hoditra ao Brezila dia olana ara-tsosialy fa tsy ara-poko:
51when black people don't fit a certain “stereotype” and “social place” they “pay the price” - after all, if [this guy] didn't have a fancy car, maybe nothing would have happened, right????
52Tired of getting hassled because his social status doesn't fit what society “expects” of him, the victim has already considered selling the “problematic car” […] God forbid that I should allow the wheels of my smart Adventure on this retailer's parking area… LET'S BOYCOTT IT NOW.Voararan'Andriamanitra aho tsy hametraka ny kodiaran'ny Adventure keliko [fiara io an] eto amin'ny toeram-piantsonan'ity vondron'orinasam-barotra ity… NDAO HANAOVANTSIKA ANKIVY ANDROANY E. ” Carrefour mpanavakava-bolon-koditra”, fanehoan-kery iray fanoherana ny fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra natao amin'ny fitaratry ny fiara teo amin'ny toeram-piantsonan'ny fiara ao amin'ny Carrefour.
53"Racist Carrefour", a demonstration against racism on car windows in Carrefour's car park.Sary nalain'i @berlitz ao amin'ny Twitpic
54Photo by @berlitz on Twitpic On the Geledés Instituto da Mulher Negra [Geledés Black Woman Institute, pt] website, many people lamented this news and voiced their indignation in the comment box.Ao amin'ny vohikala Geledés Instituto da Mulher Negra [Ivontoerana Geledés ho an'ny vehivavy mainty hoditra, pt], maro ireo olona sorena amin'ity vaovao ity ary niloa-bava namoaka ny alahelon'izy ireo ao amin'ny boaty fametrahana fanamarihana.
55For instance, Ayraon says:Ohatra, milaza i Ayraon:
56It's only in Brazil that people think racism is hidden.Aty Brezila irery ihany no heverin'ny olona ho miafina ny fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra.
57Bullshit!Hagaigena!
58It's only hidden for those who don't want to see it.Miafina fotsiny ho an'ireo tsy te-hijery azy izany.
59In other words, Brazilians are deluded by a distorted perception of themselves.Amin'ny teny hafa, diso hevitra tamin'ny fomba fijeriny mivilana momba ny tenany ihany ny Breziliana.
60“We're a mixed race!” someone says, “There is neither black nor white,” someone else declares, should the unacknowledged black person say that he/she has experienced racism.“Foko mifangaro isika!” hoy ny iray, “Tsy misy mainty na fotsy izany,” hoy ny iray hafa miteny, raha sendra misy olona [vahiny] mainty hoditra milaza fa nizaka fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra izy [na lahy io na vavy].
61Overseas, those who know what Brazil is like cannot understand how this country has managed to hide its sickly racism for so long.Any ivelany any, ho an'ireo mahafatantra hoe toy inona moa i Brezila dia tsy afaka hahatakatra hoe fomba ahoana no nanafenan'ity firenena ity nandritry ny fotoana elabe ny fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra tao aminy.
62Over here, we live in collective insanity: white people think that there's no such a thing as racism and that it is merely imagined by black people (the same ‘blacks' that other people say don't exist), and black people say that Brazilian racism is “covert”; Many accept this situation (and some even say they have never suffered racism, despite being the target of it on a daily basis).Eto an-toerana, miara-miaina hadalana itambaram-be isika: ny fotsy hoditra mihevitra fa tsy misy zavatra toy izany hoe fanavakavahana izany fa zavatra foronin'ny mainty hoditra any an-tsainy any izany (dia ireo ‘mainty' izay heverin'ny sasany ho toy ny tsy misy), ary ny mainty hoditra indray milaza fa ny fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra breziliana dia “misarom-boaly”; Maro no manaiky an'io teo-javatra io ( ary dia maro mihitsy ireo milaza fa tsy mbola niharan'izany fanavakavahana izany ry zareo, na dia lasibatr'izany isan'andro vaky izao aza).
63The story of this man from Bahia makes me sad, because it is going to repeat itself over and over without any reaction from us.Ny tantaran'ity lehilahy avy any Bahia ity no tena nankarary saina ahy, satria dia hiverimberina ny toy io rehefa tsy misy fandraisana andraikitra avy amintsika.
64Or are we going to do something about it?Sa mba hanao zavatra isika momba azy ity?
65To answer the blogger's question, the protests have begun.Ho valin'ny fanontaniana'ilay mpitoraka blaogy, nanomboka ireo hetsika fanoherana.
66There was a demonstration on August 22nd, and according to Geledés a bigger protest against the retail chain will take place on September 5th.Nisy fanehoankery natao ny 22 Aogositra, ary raha ny nambaran'ny Geledés dia hetsi-panoherana lehibe iray hanoherana ilay vondron'orinasam-barotra no hatao ny 5 Septambra.
67Race is a very complex issue for countries that once were colonies of developed states and overshadowed by slavery; a lot of prejudice remains in modern society.Olana saro-bahana ny fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra ho an'ireo firenena nozanahan'ireo tany mandroso sy niaina teo ambany vahohon'ny fanandevozana; mbola betsaka ny antsojay mipoitra any anatin'ny fiarahamonina maoderina any.
68Brazil is marked by the violent slavery of black Africans, which lasted for over 300 years and was, to a certain degree, the linchpin of the economic framework during the colonial era.Nanamarika an'i Brezila ny fanandevozana mahery setra natao ireo Afrikana mainty hoditra, izay naharitra efa ho 300 taona ary, hatramina dingana iray voafaritra, dia kitro nifaharan'ny toekarena nandritry ny vanim-potoanan'ny fanjanahantany.
69Racism has always been linked to social relations in this country. Black people here today have inherited this social stigma and suffer from racism in many aspects of their daily life.Nandova izany holatra ara-tsosialy izany ireo mainty hoditra aty amin'izao fotoana izao ary miaritra amin'ny endrika samihafa ny fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra amin'ny andavanandrom-piainan'izy ireo.
70But this is all food for thought, and material for another post.Nefa sakafom-panahy ho an'ny saina, ary ventiny ho an'ny hafatra hafa io.
