Since when is Brazil not part of the Americas?

And why has no one mentioned Bush's comment about the Spanish speaking "Mexican"? The man is a certified idiot.

probably not the most eloquent way to ask, but even if it were true (which I doubt) it would be more hilarious that he's asking about if blacks live in Brazil

Of course it is racist - spoken out by a president who "won" his elections by having a good number of those criminal (or not, who really cares) blacks off the voting records in Florida. It is already racist to say "America HAS blacks", sounds like an illness.
And it's idiotical when said to the Brazilian president - although I really wonder that Bush never watched Brazilian telenovelas like "Slave Isaura"...

I've got 3 blacks locked in the basement. I break them out for yard work and such. Ever since the Mexicans started demanding I pay them.

Actually, the word nigger is much more politically correct than the word white. I know (now I do so well) that nigger is considered offensive in america, but certainly not so here. Here actually the word "black" can be considered very offensive.

what? how could this possibly be racist... it was a dumb question but what the hell?

If Bush was talking to the Lebanese leader and asked, "Do you have Christians too?", would you consider him anti-Christian... such a question is very possible...


thanks

I can't help it if I grew up in the 70's and 80's. some words are hard to shake. And a one syllable word is so much easier than a 7 syllable hyphenated name. But that's just me

It's pretty unlikely that he said it. It was so funny that I believed it and got a huge laugh out of it. EVen though I like Dubya.

Well, we see alot of cases where celebrities or atheletes are reported as quoted as saying certain things, then later it turns out that it wasn't true.

Bush is hardly ignorant of Latin and South America. He speaks fluent Spanish and also is friendly towards illegal aliens.

The guy just doesnt know about Brazil. I mean you expect someone like President to know something like that, but I'm sure you people yourself had experience where you noticed you didn't know something that others thought to be a common knowledge. But he does have a reputation for being an idiot and saying this doesn't help to disprove such rep...

A better question to ask the president of Brazil would be "Do you have Latinos too?".

The answer would be "No, we only have Hispanics here". Oops, wait They are actually Portugalics in Brazil.

He isn't. But he probably has some sort of black ascendancy, just like a lot of us in Brazil, somewhere in his family tree.

I like the word "black" for its irony. They aren't black - nor are we white.

Its not irony, its a misnomer.

Irony would be if whites were actually black and blacks actually white.

The definition of irony is not confined only in the complete reversal of saying/meaning, so it would still be irony
