'White, blue-eyed bankers have brought world economy to its knees'(Brazil Prez to UK's Gordon Brown)

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.

‘I’m not acquainted with any black banker,’ he said. ‘The part of humanity that’s responsible should pay for the crisis.’

(edit)

Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek - current holder of the EU presidency - has branded US President Barack Obama's fiscal stimulus package and financial bail-out 'the way to hell'.

He's closer to the truth than he realizes.

The Portuguese are the white rulers of Brazil. Not as white as North Europeans but they call the shots in Brazil. Lula is 100% Portuguese so is a hypocrite. Lula is a mighty whitey compared to the Indians, Blacks, mulattoes and Mestizos of Brazil and Latin America

It's a good thing I'm not a banker. I don't think I could sleep at night./s

This is hate speech pure and simple.

Re G20 to be a spicy affair: I am visiting London now and will be here until Mar 31. All police leave has been cancelled. It seems tense and people are in a bad mood about the economy. RBS chief Fred Goodwin had a brick thrown through his front window at home. I expect all hell to break loose for the G20 next week.

I've been following that from here as well, and Rush mentioned the brick incident.  Please stay safe, and I'm glad that you're getting out of there when you are.  I am in Seattle, and I'm guessing that the situation in London will be considerably worse than the Leftist and anarchist rioting we had here some years back.

yet again whites are put down and not a major outcry from the media.

Now if a white person had said this about another race the world, UN etc would be going bonkers .

Jackie mason said recently that do whites now have a freedom of speech now and why can the likes of Chris rock who puts down whites all the time gets laughs

I don't care what color their eyes are.

The banksters are all corrupt.

Just like our entire government.

How did we get bumped by the blue-eyed bankers??

It has to be a conspiracy, and probably the Jews are behind the whole danged bump.

Known as "Lula" in Brazil. Good time for Brown to produce a glock and blow the leftist bastard's head off. Gosh, do I seem a little cranky lately? Anyway, thanks Pharmboy for the ping.

My eyes are green and I am not a banker, so I am off the hook.

But I am watching the rest of you.
