“…Born in São Paulo, Brazilian hip-hop provides a means of expressing the everyday realities, challenges, and outlooks of Black, Brown, and poor youth in the periphery (Pardue 2008(Pardue , 2010Reiter and Mitchell 2008;Santos 2016). Afro-Brazilians in São Paulo continue to express themselves through a "Black circuit" of socializing (Macedo 2007), religious music and faith practices (Burdick 2013), and media production (Gillam 2012). These are merely a fraction of the kinds of activities oriented around the Black population.…”

This article examines the ways in which blackness operates in relation to São Paulo's identity as a city of modernity and progress. Drawing from participant observation during public events and projects directed toward the Black population, I introduce the term "latent blackness" as a way to understand Afro-Brazilians' perspectives on how Black history and culture are included in the city. Latent blackness moves beyond notions of the absence and erasure of blackness to make sense of Afro-Brazilian perspectives on their role in São Paulo's history and identity. The concept of latent blackness adds to understandings of how Black people articulate the shortcomings of their relationship to the city and how race and regionalism intersect in Brazil. [race, blackness, São Paulo] R e s u m o Este artigo examina as formas como a negritude opera em relação à identidade de São Paulo como uma cidade da modernidade e do progresso. A partir da observação participante durante eventos públicos e projetos voltados para a população negra, apresento o termo "negritude latente" como uma forma de entender perspectivas Afro-Brasileiras sobre como a história e a cultura negras estão inseridas na cidade. A negritude latente vai além das noções de ausência, invisibilidade e apagamento da negritude para dar sentido às perspectivas afro-brasileiras sobre seu papel na história e identidade de São Paulo. O conceito de negritude latente contribui para a compreensão de como os negros articulam as deficiências de sua relação com a cidade e como raça e regionalismo se cruzam no Brasil.

“…In particular, subaltern communities have utilized cinema and videos as a critical locus through which to maintain their cultural practices and protest threats to their ways of life (Ginsburg 1991; Turner 1992). Afro‐Brazilians have turned to their own media production in the form of film (Dennison 2020; Gillam 2017; Heise 2012; Souza 2011), television (Gillam 2013), and social media (Mitchell‐Walthour 2018; Perrine 2019) to excavate other possibilities for Black representation beyond mainstream media. Looking strictly at the discourses within the parodies of commercials that Is That OK With You?…”

This article presents satire, irony, and parody as a means to contest racist structures through media production. I specifically examine the Is That OK With You? YouTube Series as it presents a break from traditional relationships between humor and race in Brazil by turning attention toward systemic racism. I theorize “satirical antiracism” as a way to understand how Afro‐Brazilians deploy satire to make visible the contradictions and inconsistencies of the racial order. Satirical antiracism is a form of activism that invokes the tension of contradictory subjects, such as humor and racism in communicating its message.
