我国一部接一部宪法，在处理个人权利和保障问题时，所有宪法都强调强调所有巴西人不分种族的平等。因此，他们宣布在法律上废除种族差异，以清洗至今仍存在于我国历史潜意识中的残酷的奴隶传统。在长达四个多世纪的时间里，黑人一直是交易品、劳动工具和社会统治的对象，这个社会明确地剥夺了他们作为人应有的权利。这种罪恶的潜意识反映在所有相关的立法中，从1888年废除奴隶制的《黄金法》（Lei Aurea）开始。这个想法是为了证明没有白人或黑人，只有巴西人，不按种族血统分类。军政府于1979年10月17日颁布的现行《宪法》并没有推卸其责任，即注意到这个仍然受到最近可憎传统玷污的社会的这种永久关注。在关于个人权利和保障的第四章（第153条）中，它在第1款的原文中宣布：

The idea is to demonstrate that there are no whites or Blacks, but only Brazilians, not classified by racial origin. The current Constitution, decreed by the Military Junta on October 17, 1979, does not shirk its duty of noting this permanent preoccupation of a society still stained by the odious recent tradition. In its Chapter IV, which deals with individual rights and guarantees (Article 153), it declares, textually, in paragraph 1:
