Resumo
The reality of a black person in Brazil is still full of discrimination and prejudice. So far, the national discourse of "Racial Harmony" is a myth and it hasn't been part of the population's reality. Nowadays, the increase of homicidal violence spreads the feeling of insecurity and fear on the population in general. But that increase is not the same for all and it has its effects more on young black people. This work discuss about racial relationships, homicides of black youth and racism on Região Metropolitana de Goiânia (RMG). The main goal is to try to understand why does this homicides focus more on black youth than white youth. Despite social and economic progress, between 2006 and 2016 the numbers has increased and in general, black youth is the greatest victim of the homicides that happens on RMG and in Brazil. In fact, the contemporary context of black lives indicates the persistence of social inequality that really affects black lives, leading to dramatic social consequences such as racial disparities seen on statistical data, on observations of racial relationships from the field of study and in the analysis about violence in Brazil. The numbers of homicides of young, black male on RMG can be considered as the reflex and reproduction of racism that leads to inequality and make them appear natural. By the side of other vulnerabilities from the black population such as disparity of income distribution, education and work, racism contributes to the vulnerability of this people to violence, the lack of identity and territory and also to the reproduction of institutionalized practices of racial discrimination against young black people who are more targeted by homicides
