My eyes are hazel, so I guess it’s not MY fault! /s
Er, well, since the housing bubble blew up because of idiotic usage of the Community Reinvestment Act, primarily designed to “help” blacks and hispanics get cheap housing that they couldn’t otherwise afford, I’m thinking Lula might be off just a bit....
already posted m’FRiend. . . =)
That is stereotyping and just RACIST.
Why limit it to “blue eyes”? Why not include those of us who have hazel eyes, or green eyes? I feel HURT that I was among the ones not included.
Ok now I’m pissed. My blue eyes had nothing to do with your problems.
Lula went on to say that he favors free trade over protectionism (free trade was probably invented by white people, some of whom may have had blue eyes).
And, by the way, Brazil solved it’s energy problem by - drilling for oil! (drilling for oil was invented by white people (in the US!), some of whom may have had blue eyes)
Ok, I admit it... it all started with an Ebay bid on a Harmon Killabrew baseball card that got out of hand.
Just like we all suspected. It wasn’t Barney Frank or Maxine Waters or Angelo Mozillo. It was those Norwegian crooks.
I know Brown has to display a certain amount of decorum, but sheesh, you’d think he would’ve responded to that idiot.
Lula means “Squid” in Portuguese.
He didn’t get that nickname for nothing.
Sure, that's why he waited to say it until he was in England attending an international conference.
Politicians automatically blame and demonize someone else, which unfortunately can lead to riots or war. Nothing like a good external enemy to focus the hatred on.

On the serious side, speaking like this is obviously racist and an attempt to engender racial hatred and perhaps followed by a race war!
Wonder how many blue eyes paid into the World Bank 5 Billion loan to Brazil....
We may have blue eyes but we will reminder your comments the next time around....
At the end of the day, Lula signed a temporary measure giving US$ 2 billion to the BNDES (National Bank of Economic and Social Development) for loans to businesses, especially exporters, at a lower interest rate than that offered by commercial banks.
The money is part of a US$ 5 billion loan Brazil received from the World Bank to deal with the international financial crisis. Borrowers will pay Libor (international interest rate currently at about 3% a year) interests plus 1%. For Finance Minister Guido Mantega this is a low rate.
Don’t it make my brown eyes blue,,,,,,,,

Well going by the foreclosure in my neighborhood. It was a dark eyed and well tanned person.
What a racist idiot.
Perhaps “white people with blue eyes” should quit buying crap from his country.
