Padrão de Resposta
The contradictions of the colonial system have only this point in common: they reflect the disintegration of the system and stem from it. We will see whites fighting along blacks and mulatos against racial prejudice; mulatos and blacks teaming with whites to fight for it; portuguese fighting against Portugal and Brazilians fighting for it.
The apparent ilogicity and in congruity of the facts not only makes their interpretation more difficult, but it is also the reason behind the dubious and uncertain nature presented by all similar situations. Such dubious and uncertain nature belongs to the facts themselves and it cannot be undone by any explanation. The clear facts, as a whole and well-defined, come only later when such situations nature. It is useless to look for them earlier, twisting the facts in order to adjust them to the observer´s whishes. It is the incessant and everlasting movement of History, of Man, of all things that we cannot grosp with the poor tools of comprehension and expression at our disposal, and above all, that we cannot reproduce but in a small particle; awkward grospings of a reality that cannot be defined statically, but only dinamically.
