Dar Nome à Branquitude: Não Há Planeta Saudável sem Justiça Racial | Thales Vieira | TEDxBlumenau

Racial and Social Justice - The speaker emphasizes the importance of naming and confronting "whiteness" (Branquitude) to understand how systems of privilege are built upon the oppression of Black and Indigenous people [1] - The speaker connects historical context, highlighting how the concept of humanism in the 15th century coincided with the rise of slavery, creating a division between who was considered "human" and who was disposable [2][3] - The speaker argues that racism is not merely interpersonal prejudice but a structure that controls legal, political, economic power, and social norms [4] - The speaker advocates for an intersectional approach, linking the fight for climate justice with the fight for racial justice, arguing that environmentalism must consider the disposability of certain bodies [7] - The speaker calls for an anti-racist and ecological revolution, warning of collective suicide if these issues are not addressed together [8] Cosmofobia and Control - The speaker introduces the concept of "Cosmofobia" as the fear of the cosmos, which manifests as both the terror of nature and the terror of differences [1] - The speaker suggests that this fear drives the desire to dominate and control both nature and those who are different, fueling systems of privilege [1] Resource Exploitation - The speaker argues that the humanistic view separates humans from nature, leading to the exploitation of nature as a resource [6] - The speaker connects this exploitation of nature to the exploitation of marginalized people, who are also seen as disposable resources [5][6]
