'Blacks for sale' online ad sparks outrage in Brazil...

A SHOCKING ad on one of Latin America's biggest online marketplaces, offering "blacks for sale for one real" ($A. 47), has sparked outrage in Brazil and a police investigation.

The ad featured a photo of two black children, and suggested anyone purchased could "serve as carpenters, masons, cooks, security guards, nightclub bouncers, janitors, garbage collectors, or housekeepers''.

Within a few hours, some 1700 Brazilian responded with outraged comments.

Government officials also weighed in, with the agency in charge of racial equality urging online vendor MercadoLivre to turn over information on the author of the ad to bring charges against him.

The ad was "an offence to the entire society,'' rights official Carlos Alberto Silva Junior told AFP on Friday. Full story...
