    Facts would be some studies right? No one conducts them. Is this an indication that everything is ok? Would you think that everything was ok with all the Tunisian people because there were never facts nor studies stating the opposite?

    The current crisis? Fair excuse, but I am not pointing out the current events but a state of mind. Where in Portugal is the climate normal for black people to work in offices, sitting on a chear appart from being a "secuirita"? Isn't it a principle that no entrance is allowed for black people into office jobs? I, with my Master degree, should be successful at Mcdonalds at all times in Portugal and not because of the crisis.
    The fact that a country is in Economic distress should be no excuse to inequalities. The same way that there are jobs as cleaners should exist jobs for black sociologists, professors, engineers. It is still true that Portuguese people think that black people aren't clever enough to achieve such education. Where are the statistics for that? Why should they exist if there is no intention to sort it out?

    When Ferreita Leite claimed that the country was drawning, she was "bohoed" until she had to renounce to the post. Until recently, Portugal claimed it had money enough to safe its economy, when every day, since ever, Portugal is a country in "crisis". "things are bad" is what I have been hearing since I was little in Portugal. It's a country of no evolution mentality. Yet, I cannot accept this mentality to keep pushing black people to conditions of the slavery times. Immigrants deserve a chance to grow and do not send us to our country when we want more than cleaning jobs! Enough!
