Oh crap need to change the color of my eyes, before this gets around to the US Congress and they decide to tax 90% of my income. White People with Blue Eyes is the next AIG.

All men…are NOT created equal! Some are born smarter, or more beautiful, or with parents of greater status. Some, by contrast, are born weak of body or mind, or with few, if any, talents. All men are different! Yes, the very existence of man is discriminatory! That's why there is war, violence and unrest. Inequality is not evil. Equality is! What became of the EU, who claimed that all are equal? It is in constant conflict because its tenets go against human nature! The Middle Eastern Federation, which harbors similar sentiments, is constantly mired with sloths! But our Britannia is not like them! We put an end to wars and evolve with every conquest! Britannia alone looks forward and moves forward to a better future! The death of my son Clovis is yet more proof that our empire is evolving. Fight! For the future rests in the hands of its ruler! ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!

Of course, when minorities say these sorts of things, it's *not* racism

Rhamia Darigaz · Mar 27, 2009, 09:07 PM // 21:07

hmm, i wonder if fox news decided to take his quote out of context to make a more dramatic news story about how racist non-white non-americans are.
nvm, this is fox news we're talking about. they are a beacon of integrity and impartiality in an otherwise liberally biased media!

Foxnews isn't the only one using that line.

The BBC prefered not to focus on this statement, although still quoting it in a shorter version:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7967546.stm

(additional quote: "As I do not know any black or indigenous bankers," the president added. "I can only say it is not possible for this part of mankind, which is victimised more than any other, to pay for the crisis.")

Lula talks like a politician, albeit a quite crude one, and this is of course of misrepresentation of a "truth". He's talking about the G8-G20 and western countries. It's stupid to talk about white-blue-eyed people!

But he's somewhat expressing the views of (hundreds of) millions of people around the world, including in the western countries. As we'll see this week here, in London, during the G20 summit, people are fed up with the global economic injustice and abuse of the "powers".

At least, with the economy, we can always play with numbers, talk during official speeches to motivate people and reduce the amount of stuff we're doing. We can't do that with global warming.
