Gordon Browns efforts to broker an £80billion bailout for world trade on a trip to Brazil hit a stumbling block tonight when the countrys 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 weeks 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 dont know anything about economics.
President Lula, head of Brazils 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.
Im not acquainted with any black banker, he said. The part of humanity thats 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'.

Prediction: This won't be called a 'hate-filled, racist tirade' anywhere in the 'mainstream' press and will be glossed over as a 'spirited, informative exchange' with 'an important, articulate leader' and will be quickly brushed under the rug.

White, blue-eyed bankers have supported the 3rd world for generations, with money from white, blue-eyed Westerners.Naturally I hope that this openly, flagrantly racist insult against ALL Western nations as well as all white people will be remembered the next time Brazil comes begging for aid and loans, but I won't be holding my breath.
"sigh"
Isn't it just like the Left to blame "white people" whenever the real culprit is Socialism?

Obama went to Harvard. He's an ignoramus.

Perhaps Luiz can talk Mugabe into overseeing Brazilian financial interests. No black bankers?! Why I was just contacted via email today by a Nigerian banker who said I qualified for funds that were being held for those who had lost money to Nigerian scammers. I kid you not.

Harvard University, or Harvard Agricultural College, as in keith “Ivy League” olbermann, who actually has a diploma from Cornell Agricultural College, with a major in “broadcasting”, i.e. working at the campus radio station.

Anyone want to call this idiot a racist? Obama? Come on, Obama.I would LOVE to see anyone in the White House Press Corps grow a pair and ask Zero what his reaction is to such a vicious insult to Great Britain, and the man that he gave that stylish K-Mart DVD set to.......
