Racist talk OK if you are brown
We read:
"Gordon Brown’s efforts to smooth a path to international agreement at next week’s G20 summit in London hit a bump in Brazil yesterday when he was told that the financial crisis was the fault of the “white and blue-eyed”.
President Lula da Silva [above] of Brazil warned that there would be spicy discussions and “tough confrontation” next Wednesday as world leaders faced up to who should pay the costs of the banking crisis.
As Mr Brown looked on during a press conference, Mr Lula da Silva said that action was urgent since it would be intolerable for the poor — who were blameless for the collapse of financial markets — to suffer the most from its effects.
“This was a crisis that was fostered and boosted by the irrational behaviour of people who were white and blue-eyed, who before the crisis they looked like they knew everything about economics, but now have demonstrated they know nothing about economics,” he said, mocking the “gods of wisdom” who had had to be bailed out. “The part of humanity that is responsible should be the part that pays for the crisis,” he added.

President da Silva is a long-time Leftist so he would be well aware of Leftist shrieks about racism

If Brazil had the history and economic stability of Switzerland, then I might be inclined to examine his point of view. But since Brazil ranks somewhere in the neighborhood of Mexico when it comes to economic matters.... well you get the idea.
The impoverished of Brazil, and most other developing nations, benefit "the most" from boom times when investment from the "blue eyed" devils grows. Of course, until such nations develop a vibrant middle class and social mobility that includes a majority of citizens, they are going to suffer "the most" when the "blue eyed" devils suffer economic ills.

Nahum: Alms for the poor, alms for the poor.
Lazar: Here, Reb Nahum, is one kopek.
Nahum: One kopek? Last week you gave me two kopeks.
Lazar: I had a bad week.
Nahum: So if you had a bad week, why should I suffer?

Sorry but if we are being racist about this, lets at least be truthful racists.
It was “BROWN” people who caused this.
How?
Rich white people don't buy homes they can't afford.
Rich white people don't max out their credit cards then expect the rest of us to bail them out.
Rich white people pay 97% of the tax burden. Poor “Brown” people pay nothing.
Rich white people employ these “Brown” people.
So in the end if you do not contribute to the system why should you get something out?
During the boom from about 2002-2008 when employment was super high and “Brown” home ownership was the highest in history, when “Brown” income grew by the largest in history, where was the other outburst that I would love to hear from them...
Thank you!
Since da Silva is a devout socialist, (actually he's a Marxist) why would his comment bother so many? Isn't it precisely what you would expect to hear from someone like him? Besides, it's Brazil for Christ's sake. Who cares!
Aside from the Thong, (and we're all grateful) what have they contributed to the world, except adding to the crime rate?
