Seu Jorge is one of the greatest Brazilian artists: he sings, dances, interprets and makes us dream. He, who escaped death to live his genius, spoke of the right to life of blacks and was insulted by a racist hearing at Clube União, in PoA. You serve what feats? Which?

Heavy racism at @ gremionauticounião
From Tati Suarez:
“Nonsense, disrespectful … I just heard about what happened yesterday at Seu Jorge’s show at Grêmio Náutico União.

It’s horrible, but it shows how Jorge is a black artist of poor origin and deeply removed from an audience that should be his … The boy has no empathy with the people of the suburbs.
