As a brazilian and a capoeira like many of my family members, and also as a person who have Bantu forefathers I am honored to live daily my ancestors legacy. Rei Pelé was a bastion for us. He not only fight on the fields but also on the streets and Quilombos (from Kimbundu, kilombo) defending the important cause of the Negros in Brazil and in the World. May our ancestors have received him. "We are what our ancestors wanted for us."
He tapped into his African roots. A great man indeed.
I had no interest in football until I watched Pele play in the 1970 World Cup. He was a legend and a hero. RIP Pele.
A Legendary Footballer and Afro Descendant Hero to the core. Pele Really Brought A lot of Influence on Football History. Rip King of Soccer.

Pele is the best football player of all times. Peace be upon his soul!
Yes, Pele was the best of the best, so we Blacks must make sure it's documented in history so these whites don't push him aside.
Rest in Power Pele! You are truly one of our G.O.A.T S.
May his soul rest in peace.
