Brazil's President, while meeting with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown Thursday, said the global financial crisis was caused by "white people with blue eyes."

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silvamade made the comments after talks with Brown to try to forge a global consensus on how to save the worldwide economy.

During a press conference, da Silva, a socialist who told Brown poor countries should not have to suffer because of the mistakes of the rich, suddenly pointed his finger at Brown and said, "This is a crisis that was caused by white people with blue eyes. And before the crisis, they looked as if they knew everything about economics."

Sky News' Joey Jones said it was an "uncomfortable" moment for Brown.

"The President does not mind using fairly flamboyant language. He likes to give extensive answers to journalists," he said. "But some of it was rather awkward for the Prime Minister, who was standing there listening to the President. A few eyebrows will have gone up at what he said."

Downing Street says the remarks made by da Silva, who is white, were meant for "domestic consumption."

Jones said: "People in Brazil are very frustrated and angry at what they feel is the injustice of the situation: a crisis that has essentially come from the banking sectors in places like the United States and the U.K., but is affecting their country."

Following the meeting, Brown told reporters he will urge G20 leaders to back a multi-billion dollar fund to reverse a slide in world trade.

"I'm going to ask the G20summit next week to support a global expansion of trade finance of at least $100 billion to help revive trade in all parts of the world," he said.

A shortage of trade credit, which allows exporters and importers to settle accounts, has been a factor in a sharp drop in global trade which is exacerbating the economic downturn.

Along with the trade stimulus plan, the Prime Ministersaid he wanted to see global standards on salaries in the finance sector.

He went on to say he believes South America is key to achieving an agreement at next week's G20 summit in London.

that's right, white people with blue eyes.
Now, hand yourselves in.

It's nowhere near right, the fact that they're white has nothing to do with it. Brazil enjoyed huge growth too recently. And it doesn't basically mean North Americans, people in South America aren't stupid and are well aware of the rest of the world.

It's funny that western countries are bending over backwards to be non-racist while in much of the rest of the world racism is accepted or even encouraged.

I am gonna use the same excuse I use everytime someone brings up the issue of me being a white imperalist.

*Not according to the British equal employment policy! I am not white, but Irish, which when you fill in a equal employment form is a seperate group to caucasion and black (indian is also seperate) so I'm not white, therefore hahahaha I cant get blamed*

Of course the colour is nothing to do with it, thats just a term south americans use about americans, your obviously not that book smart if you do not understand what i wrote.

do you actually think the article was about actual white people?! get a grip..

book smarts

cowzerp you were implying that North Americans caused the recession, which is a gross simplification.

I think maybe you've taken too many blows to the head in your boxing, maybe your "brain" is damaged.

I think you're beginning to show the signs of early onset Parkinson's or Alzheimers from boxing. Maybe that's why your posts make no sense. Good luck with that..

Why is a countrys leader allowed to say these hateful things? Imagine the controversy if Brown or Sarkozy came out and said it was the poor Blacks in the American south that caused this entire mess because of affirmative action forcing the banks to sub-prime lend to this group without a chance of a penny ever been paid back.

Imagine the controversy, but it seems it is ok to be racist as long as it is against White people. Also if anyone reads up on the issue they will see that my above comment* has played a large part in this global crisis.







*oh nos... I must be a big ugly racist, returns to hospital of birth to be put down.

In fairness Irish people have the same chip on their shoulder. We have convinced ourselves we were the only people persecuted by the English. The reality is they English elite persecuted many of their own people too and the Irish elite weren't any better before or after the English.
