Mestre Nene was brutalized by police in his own home in Brazil. Capoeistas, you have a duty as a practitioner of this African tradition, to protect & stand up for people, (especially Black/Preto/Angolero/African folks) facing injustices. If you are not involved in developing African Diasporic communities, or, in the fight against racial, political, & social injustices, your just playing Capoeira. It’s time to stop playing Capoeira & start being Capoeira.. Non Blacks stop taking from Capoeira culture (African culture), & start giving back.. Start showing respect to the Black Capoeira Mestres... the Black/African Capoeira community. Because trust me, Capoeira is much more to us than it is to you..... #justiceformestenene. #ftp https://www.facebook.com/1091163730/posts/10217071942165983/?extid=xK5fpIb13CIxy705&d=n
