Podcast guest Mano to Man, led by rapper Mano Brown, actress Camila Pitanga, 48, denied being a mulatto woman. Asked by the presenter he considered to be brown because she had lighter skin, the artist positioned herself.
“Are you a mulatto woman? Can I use this term or not?” He asked. “Black,” replied Camila. Following, Brown amended in reasoning. “You know we are read as brown, right?” He said. “Okay, but I don’t call myself,” she answered.
In the chat, the singer said he follows conversations and debates about the breed and that he has heard people say they do not consider Camila a black woman because she does not have enough skin. “Me either [me chamo de pardo]but mulatto I am and I understand how we read. It’s no use wanting to be Blue [retinto]people read me like Brown [negro de pele clara]. Right? And in life it is like this, “he said.
“The darker is the darkest, we are lighter, because we had mixed and such. And you are read that way,” added the musician.
According to Camila, it doesn’t matter how people see it. “I see myself as a moving black woman. The point is that, having this baobá by my side, having Benedita da Silva as well as part of my ancestry, being the daughter of Vera Mornings, having this strong and very clear ancestry on my horizon, I know we, when you know, put yourself tightly to the world.
