Brazil Unknown

Another publicity campaign has generated racial offenses in social networks. The company Santher, decided to disclose a line of black toilet paper, the first of its kind to be sold in Brazil. The campaigner said he thought of an action that would value black as a symbol of elegance and refinement. The actress Marina Ruy Barbosa was called to be the poster girl, wrapped in a paper dress next to a luxury black roll, she was photographed by the photographer Bob Woodward. The problem was the hashtag used to advertise the product on social networks: #BlackisBeautiful. The term demonstrates the implicit racism of the association between the act of using a toilet paper and the black color. It may not have been the intention of the agency, but the public in social networks has already demonstrated against the brand.

The tragedy occurred in the city of Janaúba, in the interior of Minas Gerais. Altogether there were 10 deaths: 8 children, 1 teacher and the watchman, who set fire to himself, in the students and caused the fire that resulted the tragedy. The Minas Gerais State Attorney's Office (MPMG) has opened three inquiries and a procedure to investigate the fire. One of the objectives is to verify the watchman, Damião Soares dos Santos, had psychological problems. Around 9 o'clock on Thursday, the guard entered the school, threw flammable material against the children and into his own body, and set it on fire, which quickly spread. In the midst of the tumult, people tried to extinguish the fire with buckets of water and rescue the victims of the flames, without success.

A driver hit a man and drove for about 100 meters with his body attached to the car in Osasco, in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. Check out the video in the tweet of the Band News portal.
