vicente fox's racist comment

[andymansavage]

Did you all see where Fox said last week.

"There's no doubt that Mexican men and women full of dignity, willpower and a capacity for work are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United States."

He is refusing to apologize.

LMBO that is priceless! Can you imagine the uproar if a Canadian or American leader said that?

The sad thing is.. its true lol

To be totally accurate, Mr. Fox should have stated "that not even black or whites want to do". The overall work ethic in our country, especially of the younger generations, is in the toilet. There are still many people that are happy to give an honest days work for an honest days pay, but the percentage of those people is far less than it was a generation ago.

As seen on CNN today:

The truth hurts - that's why so many pull the card out when faced with it.

It may be racist, but it's true. And last I heard he apologized for it a couple days later. Vicente Fox has really been getting on my nerves lately, I guess he knows his term is coming to an end so he will try and say as much about America as he wants. Since Mexico only allows their presidents one 6 year term, his is coming to a close, that wouldn't be too bad of an idea here. If that were the case, there would only be one more year of Bush instead of almost 4. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Look at it this way though, we'd only have to go through one presidential campaign every 6 years instead of every four.
