Natalia Deodato, 22, a member of Big Brother Brasil’s Pipoca group 22 , has been criticized on social media for romanticizing slavery, saying, in a conversation at the table with other brothers, that blacks were enslaved in Brazil because they were more ‘efficient and stronger’ “.
“I am black, there really is a history that we came as slaves. Why? Because we were strong. Why did we come as slaves? Because we were good at what we did. do that [trabalho escravo], I wouldn’t be able to”, said Natalia.
Many internet users asked to call Lumena Aleluia (BBB 21) to redefine what racism is for Natália and even created memes with the photo of the former BBB. “By this time, Lumena would already be redefining this Natália there beautifully”, wrote a Twitter user. “How bad Lumena is to put Natália in her place”, comments another user.
Even Lumena posted a funny video on Instagram knocking on a door to try to talk to Natália and saying that she won’t put her finger on her face. “Me trying to talk to Natalia to reframe the information she brought because it’s false,” Lumena wrote. The former BBB even asked: “Does Boninho allow me to come back to have a conversation with Natália?”
Other netizens who compared Natália with Sérgio Camargo, president of the Palmares Foundation, say that racism is a term invented by the left to promote victimization. “Natália will leave the BBB straight for Fundação Palmares to be a direct advisor to the president of the foundation”, commented an internet user.
A councilor from Porto Alegre Matheus Gomes (PSOL) commented that Natália reproduced the myth of slavery. “History proves the opposite: the colonizer’s choice was economic and ideological (racist). Therefore, her speech reminded me of something else: work and European immigration to Brazil in the final period of slavery.”
An internet user said that Natalia spoke fake news and complained that no other participant replied showing that she was wrong. “Natália said that black people were enslaved because they did the job better and not having a person inside that house to close this fake news of hers. Difficult times in this BBB.”
“Yesterday in BBB’s conversation about racism, all that was missing was Natália to thank the planters for having enslaved blacks,” said another Twitter user.
