5. I agree, in Brazil, the poor don't own guns, nor want to shoot the US President

they know he is of mixed race, trying (not always doing well at it) to work for to better the lot of the poor, just like them. The racial issues of Brazil pale in comparison to ours, virtually EVERY person has dark skin there, and they know their roots are multi-racial.


That street looks like one we would see in New Orleans, but lots of drunk white racists (visitors) would have their guns out in New Orleans.
