Do you have blacks in Brazil?

It is said, that, before September 11, George W. Bush thought the Taliban were a Bavarian brass band. Now, thanks to his comprehensive knowledge, the most powerful man in the world has got into hot water again.



Washington - It was Condoleezza Rice, national security advisor, who helped her boss out of the embarassing situation. During a conversation between the two presidents, George W. Bush, 55, (USA) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, (Brazil), Bush bewildered his colleague with the question "Do you have blacks, too?"

Rice, 47, noticing how astonished the Brazilian was, saved the day by telling Bush "Mr. President, Brazil probably has more blacks than the USA. Some say it's the Country with the most blacks outside Africa." Later, the Brazilian president Cardoso said: regarding Latin America, Bush was still in his "learning phase".

All they say there is that it is not substantiated. I wouldn't expect that any of the people at that meeting would admit it even if it was said, so that is probably all that will ever be known about the claim.

I must say, though, that he appears to have assembled a great team (as everyone said that he would) but appears to be the weakest link in that team, which is why this sort of stuff is believable, but any politician would surely know not to ask a question about a race issue in that manner (although I am prepared to believe that he didn't know about the number of blacks in Brazil, any mainstream US politician would be careful, surely).

I agree.
I’m sure a 55 year old man who went to Harvard and Yale has met a black Brazilian (especially in the states) at one time or another in his life.

My point was that he might know about the large number of blacks, rather than that there are blacks. If there are more blacks in Brazil than in the US, I didn't know, so it is hardly like calling him a moron (unless I am a moron myself, of course).

Hell, Yale is full of blacks, especially from Brazil. Those "Eli goes to Carnaval" gigs are legendary.

Let's see, there were quite a few in Texas gubmint, as I recall. They wasted their time trying to get pork-filled "let's take the day off and go topless on the beach" bills passed that never went anywhere, what with all them Baptists in the legislature.

Surely there were quite a few in the National Guard! I mean, for a man who did a stint in the Guard as a pilot and never once flew a plane, there must have been servants for that sort of thing, I'm sure. Did you look in the hired-help's quarters behind the canteen? Who was flying the fucking planes?

"...and now a word from our sponsor" dumdedummm...dooo de dee...Come to think of it, how many niggers from South America have I met? And why does this guy refuse to answer a simple question? He acts all offended, I just axed him how many niggers they had. Well I'll be dipped in hogpiss. Hell, he's some kinda spic his own self. Yee hee, wait'll I tell Laura and the girls. (Oh that's right, gotta remember to have somebody on staff make sure the next time either of the girls fuck a South American nigger, please tell Dad. Goddamn it, that'll clear this shit up quicker d'na .45 slug through a carjacker's asshole. They fucked everybody else I hate, from car salesmen to goddamn liberal hippie faggots. ... what's he yammerin' about now? ... what was I thinkin'? Oh yeah, maybe I could axe a roomful of useless interns. Goddamn, I wish I could dip inta some of that, but thanks to that weepy cunt in here before me, I gotta watch my P's and Q's and just try to find some "down-time" to give it a couple of yanks in the oval office bathroom. Shit, Bubba, did I ever tell you about the time I dreamt I was the President of the United States and I woke up and... whut? You're kiddin'! You mean, if I push this button?... no shit, how long have I been king, I mean president? Well, I'll be. So that's why I keep havin' to go everywhere and talk to all these spics and ninnies. Gawdamn, don't that beat all? Hey, we havin' barbecue? I sure love that barbecue..."
