Different conception ? What do u mean ?

Black couldn't be black in Brazil ?

Let's not forget who we are talking about, now.

[aaglo]

We are talking about a red "x" on a white box?

Cool

While it might not be the most important thing in the world, shouldn't the leader of the free world no anything himself? If he doesn't know anything so obvious I can't see why he's to be regarded as competent.

Hey, I'm also picking my nose when I think no one's watching. That's a sign of great intelligence, humour and charm!

HAHaha.. If there was a bet, where would you put your money?
The bet is: Bush can not remember all european countries...
I'd go even as far as to claim he cant' recall all states of his own country.

[Moral Hazard]

It's really not important to me if Bush knows the ethnic make up of every country (Is Brazil important enough, probably since will have to sponsor a coup there soon when the commies (PT) win /jk) It is embarassing though that he has to show his ignorance, the question would have best been asked off camera to Condy Rice, not Brazil's president.

I don't think I know all the European countries. Always forget Andorra and Sealand and the different parts of Yugoslavia...

Tube was joking.

Come on now, Dubya did a bad booboo here. Not only is this something that a freakin' president of the freakin' United States should remember, but Dubya should at least have enough intelligence *not* to go asking something like this in where there are reporters present. He should have just nodded along and then later asked Condi whether it's really true what that man said.

I mean sheesh. "Are there really blacks in Brazil?" No George, it's all an e-la-bo-ra-te joke the pre-si-dent is trying to play on you. The pre-si-dent is evil. Expose his de-cep-ti-on.

Apart from Juninho?

To know the history of the United States, you have to know some history of Latin America. This is pathetic.

BTW, Brazil holds the largest mulatto population in the world. A true example of racial harmony. No blacks, no whites, just mulattos. And mulattas.
