Is he talking about me?

The new racism:

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.”

Mr Brown appeared to distance himself from Mr Lula da Silva’s remarks. “I’m not going to attribute blame to any individuals,” he said.

I guess you have to play it up for the voters at home but it's laying on a bit thick, don't ya think. I mean, you're pretty white yourself. This is the new racism, dear readers, but it'll be called something else, if anything at all.

    He makes me sick. Just another Marxist piece of shit spewing all his left-wing dogma. He's the one pushing Obama to drop the embargo and buddy up to the Castro's. I wonder if he's ever studied African history? And if it wasn't for the "white people with blue eyes" I'm sure the Western Hemisphere would mirror the depravity of the dark continent - they'd still be ripping the hearts out of virgins at the Sun God alter. Stupid mother-f...er!

    Oh gosh, what a monstrosity of a paragraph! The more times I read it, the worse it seems -

    Gee, glad I have green eyes. ;) Yes, it's a horrible thing for him to say, but all I can do is laugh at this point. Can we all claim to be victims now?

    That asshole is race-baiting now? Le ronca los cojones.The only, and I can't stress ONLY enough, thing that I agree with is that the world is being run by the bankers. I do believe in the conspiracy that the president is manipulated by said bankers, and thus followers and even people who don't see it are manipulated as well. They are establishing The New World Order and we are witnessing it and are just standing idle while they plan to bring in a one world currency, plan to finish the NAU and NAFTA, the instill chips that track our every move in our cars, products, and even in us. 1984 was not meant to be a training manuel.

    What a putrid and revolting comment. And this is the "moderate" leftist we heard about when he got elected? And isn't he WHITE? Eye color is a non-issue these days of color contacts, you moron. You can't even control where you're born or what your color is, can you?? Imbecil. Watch your own people & your own culture - there's plenty of blonds and whites in Brazil, aren't there? And those mestizos and dark-colored chicks that parade on the street: don't they all TRY to be white? Hair relaxers, light make-up, nose jobs, bottle blonde hair..... You sicko: schmoozing with white blue-eyed fawning leftists at the EU while you pander to the lowest elements. I hope you rot in economic hell.

    And don't forget, Lula is the Latin Zapatero, feverishly meddling and lobbying for the US to end the embargo (unilaterally, of course--the only way Havana will have it). I guess Brazil is doing so well that Lula has nothing better to do with his time than worry about poor little Cuba and those awful Americans who are the root of all its MANY evils. Great guy. A perfect representative of our Latin "brothers."

    Gee, yunz guys. Sorry `bout that.

    Plucking me eyes out right after dinner ... Hear they make a nice soup broth.

    Damn my Irish/German father.

    All you need to know about that shitbag Lula is that his Party, along with Fidel Castro, co-founded the Sao Paulo Forum in 1990. Here's all you ever wanted to know about the Forum:

    http://www.larouchepub.com/other/1995/2245_sao_paulo_forum.html

    Synopsis: (He's been playing 'moderate', but he's all Red inside)

    "Thumbnail historical profile: The Cuban Communist Party (CP) initiated the founding of the São Paulo Forum, after the collapse of the Berlin Wall made it clear that the coming disintegration of the Soviet bloc threatened to bring with it the disintegration of all Soviet-allied and socialist movements internationally. In July 1990, Brazil's Workers Party (PT) sponsored the first conference, where representatives of 40 organizations and parties, from 13 Ibero-American and Caribbean countries, met in São Paulo, with Cuban officials, to discuss how to revise revolutionary strategy in the midst of the crisis of socialism worldwide......July 21-24, 1993: The Fourth Conference, held in Havana, Cuba.....Forum leaders Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas and Luís Inacio da Silva ("Lula") outlined a strategy of sweeping to power in six countries over the next 24 months, targeting upcoming national elections in Venezuela, El Salvador, Mexico, Brazil, and Nicaragua."

    Lula is another candidate for the kick in the ass that will require major anal surgery to remove the boot from inside his rearend.
