Abstract

In this article we aim to contribute to the debate on violence against black and poor youth in Brazil by correlating their social condition along with prejudice, racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. Likewise, giving thought to this violence already depicts a form of explicit genocide against this very social segment according to statistical data and it leads us to stand out as a researcher in the academic field in order to reveal some causes that, based on our understanding, portrays this perverse and chaotic picture of the so-called “afro-brazilian” (blacks and browns) population or black and poor youth (this is how we call the victims of this social tragedy). As expected results, we intend to broaden this debate in academic field by pointing out some hypotheses about the roots of violence and genocide against black and poor youth, and at the same time, we will indicate ways found to overcome this problem.

Keywords: Black and poor youth, Education, Unemployment, Violence and Genocide.
