Outrage as mother dresses up her 9-year-old son as a 'slave' for school Halloween party

Sabrina Flor's post brought back memories of the Atlantic slave trade that saw almost 4 million slaves being transported from Africa to Brazil and offended many social media users
PUBLISHED OCT 31, 2018

A mother made the biggest mistake of her life when she decided to color her son's skin brown and dress him up as a slave for a school Halloween party. This seems to have opened up a whole can of worms about Brazil's terrible past. The mother, Sabrina Flor, has now issued an apology for her poor taste and bad judgement after she was slammed by users on social media. Flor made her Instagram account private just hours after her son went for his private school's costume party on October 29 in the city of Natal in northeastern Brazil.

The Daily Mail reported that the mother has been accused of being racist after she posted multiple pictures of her son wearing chains and his body painted brown from top to bottom. Flor thought it was all a big joke and put up the pictures on Instagram before she was met with backlash and made her account private. She wrote in the caption: "When your child takes on the character! Let's make this thing Brazilian."
