“…However, it was only during the PT administrations, which began in 2003, that the antiracist agenda that had been built by the black movement began to act with true boldness. Despite questioning and limited conviction within the PT itself when it came to an antiracist agenda, and given the fact that within the party there was strong opposition to this agenda, with accusations of generating class struggle, we can identify a victory for the counternarrative of the black movement both within the broader society and within the party itself (Bernardino-Costa, 2019).…”

“…The creation of the Secretaria Nacional de Políticas de Promoção de Igualdade Racial (National Secretariat for Racial Equality Policies—SEPPIR) three months into President Lula's first term was much more the result of the action of black party loyalists than the result of any structural political component within the PT (Bernardino-Costa, 2019). In any case, despite infighting within the party and government, SEPPIR played an unparalleled role in the fight against racial inequality and racism.…”

“…Even though the PT adopted a “weak reformism” as a result of its coalition policy (Singer, 2012; Bernardino-Costa, 2019), the creation of SEPPIR and the adoption of an antiracist racialism can be seen as a 13-year spark of progress in the face of more than 500 years of structural, routine racism. Despite its low budget and minimal staff, SEPPIR was behind numerous extremely positive and significant policies to combat racism and promote racial equality.…”

The emergence of Bolsonarism as a face of the extreme right in Brazil has come out of the articulation of several groups mobilized on social networks around a handful of key ideas including moral conservatism, economic liberalism, patriotism, public security, and a common enemy. Research on social networks and articles in the press shows that Bolsonarism has opened a Pandora's box, releasing behavior that combines racist antiracialism and racist racialism and that aims to dismantle the recent achievements of black and indigenous groups. A emergência do Bolsonarismo como manifestação da extrema direita no Brasil deve sua origem à articulação de vários grupos que se mobilizaram nas redes sociais em torno de um conjunto de idéias chaves que inclui um inimigo comum, um conservadorismo moral, um liberalismo econômico, o patriotismo e a segurança pública. Estudos sobre as redes sociais e artigos nos jornais mostram que o Bolsonarismo tem abrido uma caixa de Pandora, fomentando um comportamento que combina o antiracialismo racista com um racialismo racista que almeja desmontar os sucessos recentes conseguidos por grupos negros e indígenas.
