Brazil’s leader blames white people for crisis
« on: March 28, 2009, 05:28:44 PM »


Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” and said it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes.

Speaking in Brasília at a joint press conference with Gordon Brown, the UK prime minister, Mr Lula da Silva told reporters: “This crisis was caused by the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes, who before the crisis appeared to know everything and now demonstrate that they know nothing.”

He added: “I do not know any black or indigenous bankers so I can only say [it is wrong] that this part of mankind which is victimised more than any other should pay for the crisis.”

Mr Brown appeared to distance himself from Mr Lula da Silva’s remarks. “I’m not going to attribute blame to any individuals,” he said.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Nice to see that racism is still alive and well.

Perhaps he was merely referring to the large amount of offspring of escaped NAZI War Criminals that populate his country.

Slap a shitty beard on his grille and call him Luis, and he doesn't sound that much different than Obama.

Speaking of irrational behavior, there's a black fellow in Zimbabwe that has managed to **** up an entire country all by himself.  Maybe you should look into that, el Presidente.

“This crisis was caused by the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes, who before the crisis appeared to know everything and now demonstrate that they know nothing.”.....I totally agree, absolutely, 100%. It's bleeding heart liberals that have tried to drag dark skinned nonproductives kicking and screaming into prosparity........and they're still trying the same old tired $#!T.
