    i think it’s common knowledge that a lot of black people in the americas were descended from slaves, especially in the states, but they meant this pejoratively which is hateful.

      Why do you think they meant it pejoratively? I’m reading it as a sort of “he came from nothing and now he’s doing great”. The kind of story you usually get of Brazilian footballers coming from the favelas.
