Blame The Economy On The Whites
Mar 27, 2009 General, Political
Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva blamed the economic problems on white people with blue eyes. According to this racist jackass it was only white people who were running the banks and caused the problem because they thought they knew so much but showed how little they really do know.
And this jackass bases his assessment on the fact that he knows no people of color who run banks. Now that is a smart way to come to such a racist conclusion.
Perhaps he never heard of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who protested and worked to get loans for people of color. These were loans they could not afford and that would never have been made had banks not been forced to abandon safe practices under the threat of protest and claims of racism. I know there were plenty of people of all races who borrowed more than they could afford but the race baiters do not fight for them. Regardless, they were part of the problem and they are not bankers no matter what color they are.
Perhaps the Brazilian jackass has never heard of Congresswoman Maxine Waters or her husband Sidney Williams. Williams is a banker and Water used her office to try to get him bailout money. Williams is definitely black, or a person or color, of NOT white with blue eyes.
I am pretty sure there are plenty of bankers of color and I am sure many of them ran their businesses ethically just as many white, blue eyed bankers did. There were a lot of things that caused the problems and I am certain that it was not solely a bunch of white, blue eyed guys.
Perhaps president jackass does not know any bankers of color because his country is not as diverse as the US.
Considering George Bush supported an International Monetary Fund bailout of Brazil in 2002 it is hard to say that the white guys are all the problem. This is especially true when one considers that Brazil’s problems were the result of corruption in its financial system.
I guess the corruption, failed judicial system, and need for a bailout in 2002 were the fault of blue eyed white guys as well?
And don’t you white guys with brown or green eyes think you are off the hook. First they came for the blue eyed white guys and I said nothing….
