"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."

E se pupo Ifajakuta for this information.

I will be sending this out to my list. One reason I am so grateful for this information is that I recently had a convo with someone and they were telling me about their trip to Brazil. They seemed to have gotten a bit blind-sided by a so-called "democracy"; a "no real difference between black and white-"they-are-not-like-we-are-over-here type of thing. I thought they would have stayed there long enough to see the issues brought out in this document but it did not come across this way. The thing is that the person that saw this fake "democracy" while in Brazil cannot afford to view things this way.

The Brazilian social scientists and government have advanced this notion throughout the 20th century. Its basically white nationalism with a invitation to honorary whiteness for misoriented negroes.
