IS THERE ETHICAL AND MORAL REPARATION OF VICTIMS OF RACIAL PREJUDICE: HOW MUCH IS YOUR DIGNITY?
Prejudice. Racial Discrimination. Moral Insult. Ethic Reparation
The present work aims to understand the experiences of black people with racial prejudice and discrimination, and whether they perceive that there is reparation for the damage to their dignity. Black people live with racial prejudice as an inherent stigma of their existence that wounds their dignity, and often goes unrepaired. The aggressions they suffer represent a daily reminder that the image reflected in the mirror will not necessarily be associated with who they perceive themselves to be, but rather with stereotypes ingrained in Brazilian culture, inherited from a slaveholding and colonial past, which permeate institutions, vernaculars and the population's imagination.Firstly, the work analyzes the historical evolution of anti-racist legislation in Brazil, and then investigates the connection of Race, Prejudice and the Identity of black people, associated with the review of anthropological, legal and sociological literature. Interviews with victims of racial prejudice and discrimination are then listed, followed by a conclusion on the existence of ethical reparation for their dignity, with the possibility of further research on other forms of prejudice in Brazil and in other non-homogeneous societies.
