Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has said the world's poor people should not be forced to pay for the global financial crisis. President Lula said white, blue-eyed people - not Indians, nor black, nor poor people - had created and spread the crisis throughout the world.

LOL, wouldn’t Lula himself be ‘white’?

[mamelukesabre]

That would seem to explain his addition of “blue eyes” to the description.

[hinckley buzzard]

Another leftwing savage heard from. Too bad the B in BRIC stands for Bullsh*t.

[melsec]

So Lupo won’t mind when Blue-eyed white people stop sending our Aid money!

[Humvee]

Sounds like an out and out racist to me

[nufsed]

Based upon the oil and energy markets, we may be getting aid from Brazil soon.

[AceMineral]

Turn a whiter shade of pale.

[Tarpon]

Meanwhile ask Lula why he is building a wall around the poor in Rio? Isn't Lula a commie leftist.

Was Lula into “the sauce”, as he frequently is?

[MyTwoCopperCoins]

He was being 100% ‘racist*’; have no doubt about that.

* I hate the word ‘racist’. There should be a better word for the same, because neither blue eyes nor white skin are tied to any particular “race”.

[muawiyah]

No doubt in Lula’s eyes some browns are more equal than other browns.

[muawiyah]

Fur Shur many famous world explorers did their level best at expanding the range for blue eyes and light skin.

Brazil's Lula raps 'white' crisis

Old white Brazilian guys shouldn't get into rap...

[Verginius Rufus]

Yes, the economic crisis was entirely caused by white people with blue eyes...like Franklin D. Raines, former head of Fannie Mae.

[Oldpuppymax]

Maybe he should have Castro pay the tab with some of the billions he’s stolen from suckers like the US! Anyhow, I assume his rant was conducted over a microphone in a heated/air conditioned room after he drove to the event, after he flew in....none of which he’d have been able to do without those damned blue-eyed white people.

[muawiyah]

Lula looks to be descended mostly from various Mediterranean types - (codeword for Italians and Portuguese).

He's not Sa'mi or Suomi of course

Well, compared to the rest, they've utterly failed in that regard. The Chinese, and by extension, the Native Americans and the Polynesians / Austronesians, among others, beat all in terms of geographic spread, numbers and time of achievement.

As to the little turd’s remarks: “T’is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Yes, but nobody reports on it. THe NYTimes Rio bureau cheif, almost got his visa yanked for writing about it a while back. Lula is an ignoramous who came to power as a trade unionist rabble rouser. He seems to have moved to the center and takes few risks.
