The Portuguese traders and colonizers set up Castles / Dungeons and ports from Senegal to Mozambique. The Temne call them O'porto when they came to Sierra Leone in the 1469s. Hence the name the Lion Mountain, Serre Lyoa. Brazil is probably the best example of Portuguese control over Africans.

I remember meeting a woman from Portugal In Germany 🇩🇪 with her parents and she ask me where I am from? I told her am from Ghana and she said on behalf of her people she wants to apologize for what her people has done to us. That’s was my first time an European has directly said that to me. Now my question to African Americans is how do yall feel when yall having previllage while your fellow Africans are being discriminated?

We have been so traumatized and denigrated if a colonial teacher asks you to stand in a dark room to see yourself in a mirror most us would do it ,but the more intelligent ones will turn the lights on..self abandonedment is perpetual blindness ..lets keep opening up our eyes..our children deserve the best visions of ourselves..

Unfortunately. Portugal and Europe in general are reverting back to their old ways. And once again it won't be a happy ending

Sao Tome people are descendants of slaves taken mostly from Ghana for sugar plantation. The original intention of the Portuguese for their presence in Africa was to engage in slavery. Those Portuguese colonies she talks about gained their independence through brutal wars with the Portuguese. People refer to the experience of the Portuguese in Guinea Bissau as Portuguese Viet Nam. None of their colonists gained their indepence without severe violent wars, and they gained their indepence in the late sixties not in the 50s she mentioned

The only thing that will give Africans dignity in the world is when Africa start innovating and unit together like the Chinese and South Korean did.

A different perspective: Much in society is judged with preconceptions attached: schooling, culture, media, history, status, and colorism; hence ´Black in Portugal.´Lisbon is no different. It isa very diverse city, harboring the preconceptions of people from around the globe (positive ; negative or otherwise). It is the most global city within ‘Portugal,’ but it is not the standard from which to comment/judge Portugal. There are many different cities and towns,people, perspectives, that make up this wonderful country. It is not uncommon that a great many observers bring (along with their passport); their stereotypes, insecurity, and habits, where from which comes the cement of their commentary and judgement of the ˋnewly found discovery.´ And it is not always ´the reality; however it is the one that might seem real to the individual. Whether you are a USA (white) southern Christian or a (black) inner city Baptist; in layman terms, people are people; we all want safety and equality from the society of which we are a part of, or adapt. Portugal is the most tolerant/accepting country in all of Europe. We come in all colors. There is no need for colorism (because of a false security that there is commonality in skin color that gives trustworthy comfort). When we left the USA; we left the land and the false ideals. Society (the world over) has different tribes, different communities, different freguesias, cultures; education; social classes etc. From the perspective of an artist, my skin is not white, pink, black, etc. Although in the USA i would be called black. I am not in the USA, I am in Portugal, (not Lisboa) and try to dismantle myself from continuing the separatism that the United States of America uses to keep some out of society with its color labels. Of course we are human, and cannot easily dismantle the decades of inhumane destruction that is life in the USA. But it my hope (at the least) that we could make an effort to be a where when we are promoting that which we are trying to move away from. It was for my own sanity that I made that choice when I moved here in 1984 from a USA inner city.

Guys the world history don't start at 500/600 years ago with the slavery. Portugal or it's territory at that time, have been take from mouros, arabes, even other, but in the last 2000 years at least have 7 invasions, is the way the world and people at that time deal. People in this days still look for the bad things in the past.... for what.? , the people this days don't have to pay for what long ago others do. We should learn with the past, and take the good things better.

Hi. I'm a white portuguese man and I also feel like invisible in stores sometimes 😂. It' s like you, an african american, an african person or some white dude, you could be treated in different way because you look more or less wealthy. Greetings from Margem Sul

I appreciate Heather because she is being honest. She is a delight. She is strong, and I hope her and her daughter much, much success. I lived in Portugal years ago. As an African American, I felt unwelcome. I learned the language out of respect. One does get treated differently, depending on where you're from. Heather's honesty is very valuable. I'm glad she met Carla.

32:04 “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” ~ Seneca We live in this virtual world of imagination, world of suggestion and the more you identity with a lie the so called race identity the more you are caught in its drama of duality, the race concept and open yourself to the stupidly displayed by those who are not self-aware around you but are compelled or moved by those hidden hypnotic like ideology and that is why you might appear to be ignored. We need to learn to walk “whole” and radiate this Truth in our consciousness which would be out-pictured and cut though this stupidity when it enters our space. We talk about the Moors, idealize those glory days but not realizing that these ones walked “whole” and not “dual” by identifying to some ideology or race labels. Know thySELF understand that you are not just a label.

This video is promoting race distinction and racial privileged services in a country where there is none. We also consider the name of the organization to be offensive and disruptive to the people of Portugal and the country itself. I think its racist to create an organization with that name. Black in Portugal?! Why do you need to distinguish yourselves from other people, do we do that to you? As a Portuguese, I do not approve this content or any organization associated to it.
