FT.com / Americas / Politics & Policy - Brazil?s leader blames white people for crisis

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.”

What a blatant racist! Shame on him!
 
I have Hazel eyes. I'm not part of the problem.
 
If you don't kill the blue-eyed crackers, then you are not part of the solution, and that makes you part of the problem!
Amen, Brudda! Let us take up our weapons and cleanse the Earth of the white-skin-blue-eyes plague.
 
Racist fool.

But on the plus side, i'm off the hook! Yay for having brown eyes! =D
 
****! This wasn't a well thought out plan. Let us fashion spears like our grandfathers did!

Alright, 10,000 points to the first one of us that can find a black banker to hold up. :2razz:

Damn Anglophobes always stirrin' up trouble.
 
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to cause a crisis in Brazil :3oops:
 
lol... when I first read the article I was laughing to myself. In our PC era, I find it funny when someone with such a high profile position has the gall to actually come out and be racist like this. It's even funnier when it doesn't make a damn bit of sense.
