| Madam Marxist Apologizes for ’White Men’ Comment |
| 2004-02-27 |
| U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown,a Marxist, apologized Thursday for remarks she made a day earlier when she said Hispanics and whites "all look alike to me." Brown made the statement during a Wednesday briefing on Haiti with Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega , a Mexican-American, and the Florida congressional delegation. During the meeting, attended by about 30 people, Brown sat across the table from Noriega and launched an attack on President Bush’s policy on Haiti. She said Republican leaders were "racist" in their policies toward the Caribbean nation, which is almost entirely black, and called the president’s representatives "a bunch of white men." It takes one to know one. "I sincerely did not mean to offend Secretary Noriega or anyone in the room. Rather, my comments, as they relate to ’white men,’ were aimed at the policies of the Bush administration as they pertain to Haiti, which I do consider to be racist," Brown said in a statement on Thursday. Brown added that she was offended that the meeting on the crisis in Haiti, led by administration officials, "turned into a diatribe rebuking the Haitian government and the Haitian people. I was personally insulted by the The people of color remark means Brown didn’t consider any of the delegation dark enough. Which in itself is a racist comment. After the dressing down, which sent a hush over the hour-long meeting, Noriega responded that he would relay her comments to Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, both high-level African-American members of the Bush administration. |

| #22 #21 How could we not let such a charming person off the hook after that heartfelt, sincere apology. One further thing you could do for us is explain why Haiti is 95% black(African-Hispaniolan). Doesn't have anything to do with a racist constitution that stood for almost 200 years would it? I don't see anything in the 1987 constitution that prohibits race discrimination in Haiti. Your EXPERT opinion would be appreciated. |

| #21 Yeah, sorry I offended the Mexican guy. But the white guy's still suck. Unless they're gay. Is that okay? Am I off the hook now? |

| #20 Hey, at least Sr. Noriega didn't whip out a shiv and threaten to "cut that bitch" or somethin'... They're all alike, you know. |

| #18 Hey, does anyone remember when intervening in Iraq was racist, as in Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, or "1, 2, 3, 4, we don't want your racist war"? Now, not intervening in Haiti is racist. Funny how that works. |

| #17 As a white male, I am incensed by Brown's behavior! Isn't she aware that racism and discrimination are policies only white men can engage in? She has infringed on our monopoly and I have been disenfranchised! Somebody call Jesse Jackson! |

| #16 damn shame that the Democrat party leaders and faithful can't get the conservative media to pick up on their outrage and cries for her resignation [/sarcasm] |

| #15 It just occurred to me that the white liberals funding her may also be getting squeamish. (An interesting little fact about black politicians - of either party - is that they get their funding mostly from white contributors). Blasts like this are not going to ingratiate Brown with her backers. |

| #14 When the November polls roll around, Brown may need to win re-election without white votes. Which may be possible. Is it likely? No. I just realized that she may need to win re-election without Hispanic votes as well. Now that sets the bar far higher. |

| #12 Sounds like Kerry's found the perfect vp running mate. BTW - I'm not racist, I think all those countries are equally worthless. Give Haiti to France, sit back w/a bowl of popcorn and watch the cheap entertainment. |

| #10 We should intervene in Haiti? Again? That's naked imperialism! |

| #9 What exactly is the non-racist policy toward Haiti? Pretend that its a very special and important country? Pretend that we have a clue about what to do about the current crisis and whose side we should take in the current civil war? We've already tried that and it hasn't seemed to have done any good. Do we need to go in and prop up corrupt and ineffectual (and unpopular?) Arisitide again? Seems we shouldn't interfere. Speaking of racism, it's a dirty secret of the African-American community that there are high-levels of animostiy and discrimination toward Carribean and African immigrants, including Haitians, Rep. Brown's posturing notwithstanding. |

| #6 The entire Congressional BlackGUARD Caucus is comprised of some of the planet's more virulently hostile and uncivil afro-fascists. The CBC along with the NAACP are the Democrat Party's neo-KLAN -- the Klan with a Tan. This Klan is incredibly dangerous as its members are exempt from even the lowest standard of common decency for their words and deeds. |

| #4 Nah -- no apology here... Sorry, I don't think my mother would have accepted this apology, when, at the age of six, I hit another kid in the head with a brick! "Sorry Scotty." She knew I wasn't sincere.... Scotty was a bully! And I am a girl! Go get her, Condi!!!!!!!!!!! |

| #2 after her comments at the meeting--rapresentative brown--jumped on the table and stated she was going to do the bugaloo by any means necessary if you long nose narrow lip punks don't give the dusky marxist priest of thuglandia his props. |
