It’s all the white man’s fault
Those nasty blond-hairred, blue-eyed devils!
Gordon Brown’s efforts to broker an ?80billion bailout for world trade on a trip to Brazil hit a stumbling block tonight when the country’s president lashed out at ‘white, blue-eyed’ bankers for bringing the world economy to its knees.
Mr Brown watched on uneasily as his host, President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva, launched a bizarre tirade in which he warned that next week’s G20 summit in London would be a ‘spicy’ affair.
President Lula said it was completely unfair that the poorest people in the world were suffering most for the mistakes of wealthy, Western financiers.
‘This was a crisis that was fostered and boosted by irrational behaviour of people that are white, blue-eyed, that before the crisis looked like they knew everything about economics,’ he declared.
‘Now they have demonstrated that they don’t know anything about economics.’
President Lula, head of Brazil’s main left-wing party, said that ‘no black man or woman, no indigenous person, no poor person’ had been in any way culpable for the global banking crisis.
Yep, we’re evil alright.
It never ceases to amaze me that this kind of anti-white racism is considered perfectly normal in civilized company. If Lula would have been white and blamed “long nosed, brown eyed Jews” for the crisis, he would have been shot down. But racism directed at whites? Ah, no problem.

What a putz…
YOu really gotta love those generalizations based on skin and eyer color…I think it’s called racism? Are there no non-white non-blue eyed folks that had a hand in all this? Being a White Blue-eyed person I suppose I’m guilty? Call the Gestapo!
I have an interesting experiment.
Lets take all Americans and send them to Brazil and lets take all Brazillians and take them to America.
Switch countries. My guess. 25 years all of America looks like Brazil and in 25 years all of Brazil looks like America.
People are poor for lots of reasons but one of the main reasons is they choose to be poor and their government endorses this to remain in power.
Lula has done good things for Brazil. This comment is unfortunate and surprising (I haven’t heard Lula previous make such a remark. usually he can keep his socialist sensibilities in check)
Does de Silva realize he half offended himself? Pretty white looking guy he is.
