As world leaders gather next week at the G20 Summit, the President of Brazil proclaims the blame for the Global Economic Crisis lies on the shoulders of "White, Blue-Eyed Bankers!"White, blue-eyed bankers are entirely to blame for the world financial crisis that has ended up hitting black and indigenous people disproportionately, the president of Brazil declared .
"This Global Economic crisis was caused by no black man or woman or by no indigenous person or by no poor person," said the President of Brazil. In an outspoken intervention as Gordon Brown stood alongside him, Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva pledged to make next week's G20 summit "spicy" as he accused the rich of forcing the poor into greater hardship.
"This crisis was fostered and boosted by irrational behaviour of some people that are white, blue-eyed. Before the crisis they looked like they knew everything about economics, and they have demonstrated they know nothing about economics."
The remarks by Lula, a former trade union leader who had an impoverished upbringing in the poor north-east of Brazil, enlivened Brown's five-day trip to North and South America. This is designed to pave the way for a global agreement on how to tackle the global downturn at next week's G20 summit in London, to be chaired by Brown.
There were indigenous tribes in Mexico who believed in accumulating only what they needed to survive. They believed that if they accumulated more than what was needed that there would be people somewhere in the world lacking needed resources as a result of their greed.
ReplyDeleteThe Mexica society was based upon the good of the society rather than the individual. If the collective needs of society were met, then the personal needs of the individual would be met as well.
Most indigenous societies in the Americas were based on similar "what is good for the tribe" mind-sets.
This mind set obviously does not exist with the greedy corporates.
Az, There are at least 2 ways of looking at this.
ReplyDelete1. It is a fact that those responsible for this economic crisis were in fact White, Blue Eyed Bankers. To your point, so were slave owners, etc (white, blue-eyed).
2. Welcome to the blame game. Now you know how the 12M feel. Even though they have a very small rate of crime vs the overall American population, every crime just ONE of them commits is blamed on ALL 12M of them plus All Latinos.
Dee, The source of this recession is central banking and fiat currency. Artificially inflating our currencies and over-valuing assets. OBAMA, THE BLACK PRESIDENT, IS CONTINUING THESE POLICIES. He'll keep the unconstitutional Federal Reserve, he will expand our 10 Trillion national debt and build upon Bush's terrible legacy, and presidents before, and yes, including white bankers. Despite our differences, we should work together to have a true free market economy based on real money affixed to the value of gold and silver, like it says in our Constitution. Nationalizing the banks and assets, like they do in Mexico, will exacerbate the problem. Sincerely, a white guy!

ReplyDeleteJay/JJ,
ReplyDeleteYou are not refuting what the Brazilian president said. The root CAUSE of this crisis is as he said.
No one can refute the truth.
I think we should all acknowledge this then develop a plan for all of us to get out of this mess. Hopefully the start will be discussed and begin at the G20 Summit along with what Obama and his team is doing here in America.
Actually, I saw this comment on Bill Maher this morning.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about it because I thought it was interesting.
This is an actual statement made by the President of Brazil to England's Gordon Brown.
No one, nope, No One can refute it.
Yikes. President Obama just asked a Blue-eyed to step down.
ReplyDelete"General Motors Corp. Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner will step down immediately at the request of the White House, administration officials said Sunday."
Looks like our President is getting us on the right track!!
I think Michael Moore will appreciate this!!
ReplyDeleteIt is time for the regular Americans to appreciate our President who is standing up to the people who got us into this mess and returning America back to we the people.
No.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am saying is, the President of Brazil said the Blue Eyed Bankers are responsible and accountable for this Global Economic Crisis. I agree with him.
Unlike the ANTIs, I do not demonize all white, blue eyed people in the U.S. for the crimes of the few on Wall St.
A comic about the Economy :
ReplyDeleteLucky Ducky is the Funniest Comic I have seen showing the Hypocrisy and Brutality of Republicans, the Rich and the Wealthy ( and the Wall Street Journal )
This is a very satiric Comic against the Stinginess, Greed and Hypocrisy of Wall Street
Lucky duckies is a term that was used in Wall Street Journal editorials starting on Year 2002 to refer to Americans who pay no federal income tax because they are at an income level that is below the tax line (after deductions and credits).
This Comic was initiated by Ruben Bolling on December 2002 as "Tom the dancing bug" and appears in Salon.com
"Hollingsworth Hound" is the rich angry and envious guy and "Lucky Ducky" is very poor but happy and does not know envy or malice.
The Sadistic Nature of the Rich Hound makes you laugh, and he hates Lucky Ducky for having a Big Family, He wants to send him to Iraq to die, to reduce the number of the poor.
The Racism of the Comic is never open or explicit, but you can smell it and see it in the colors of the characters.
You can see pages of Comics with stories like these :
Hollingsworth is angry because Lucky Ducky can afford a candy
Fattening Lucky Ducky up for sale - Eating the poor
Hollingsworth Hound and Prostitution
I have direct links to Videos and Pages of "Lucky Ducky" and the bastard rich "Hollingsworth Hound", here :

Merkle & Sarkozy have doubts about Obama's leadership ability re: the financial crisis. Let see what color are his eyes? How about Geithner?
ReplyDeleteLet's see. Giannini started the Bank of America. Is he a blue-eyed Italian? No! The whole idea that being blue-eyed has anything to do with this is preposterous.
ReplyDeleteDee,
ReplyDeleteThe Brazilian president is Monday morning quarterbacking. Where was he when these policies were put in place? In fact, name me one non-white that was criticizing any of these policies. All of these third world countries love the World Bank, the IMF, and lots of easy lending. THE ROOT CAUSE OF OUR ECONOMIC WOES IS NOT PEOPLE OF A PARTICULAR PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC. IT IS OVERLOADING THE MARKET WITH TOO MUCH CREDIT. IT IS TOO MUCH SPENDING. BUSH IS RESPONSIBLE TOO. REMEMBER, AFTER BUSH ANNOUNCED THE BAILOUT PLAN, HUGO CHAVEZ SAID, "WELCOME TO THE CLUB." (the Socialist club) So, there are plenty of brown eyed guys who have NO PROBLEMO with these lousy policies, even if white guys are creating the bad policies. Really, if you want racial reconciliation, you may want to avoid signing on to ethnically inflammatory statements like the one from Di Silva, especially after you use your blog to call out for justice for Hispanics. You look hypocritical. Sincerely, JJ
