“Blacks in the pool it’s the black guy on the plane, it’s the black guy in the shopping mall, it’s the black favela boys playing rolezinho at the mall, it’s the favela boys on Copacabana beach, Ipanema, Leblon...and the black body in places that they are not expected to be... eh the body, black thought in places reserved for the white being... eh the black body as a physical body occupying all the places that are denied to it.. eh the black body in the universities, in the chair of boss, in the chairs of doctors, in the chairs of the magistrate, forums, .. sitting in the courts, not as kings or soldiers, but as judges ...BLACKS IN THE POOL is an affirmative action ...eh a knife that cuts ...why a pool is because the pool is that place where touch feels closer no matter the distance between one body and another and it is the same water the bodies mix and contaminate in ... and maybe that’s why this place has the most repulsion of sharing the space with a black body. In this place the water mixes and penetrates the pores the orifices and holes of the black body and in this enclosure the water also penetrates the pores the orifices and holes of the white body .... here the skin and fragments and cells of bodies penetrate each other mutually ...Blacks in the Pool is also the same air being breathed inside an airplane where there are different bodies next to the black body.”
