Does Brazil have Blacks too ...?

[Armand Diego <causebellum@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not far away, in our Galaxy, a President of the US
asked:

"Do you have Blacks, too?"
George W. Bush about Brazil

Washington (Der Spiegel) ? It was Condoleezza Rice,
national security 
advisor, who helped her boss out of the embarassing
situation. During 
a conversation between the presidents of the U.S. and
Brazil, George 
W. Bush, 55, and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, 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, Brazilian President Cardoso said,
regarding Latin 
America, Bush was still in his "learning phase."
