Rep. Brown: Latinos and Whites 'All Look Alike to Me'

Can you imagine the nationwide media uproar if a Republican congressman said Hispanics and whites "all look alike to me"? But this comment came from a Democrat, so it's probably news to you.


U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., apologized Thursday for her racist remarks.

Her outburst came Wednesday during a briefing on Haiti with Florida's congressional delegation and Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega, a Mexican-American. The congresswoman, who is black, sat across from Noriega and launched a diatribe against President Bush.

She claimed it was Republican leaders who were "racist" in their policies toward the failed black Caribbean nation, and she called the president's representatives "a bunch of white men."


After her rant, Noriega responded that he would relay her comments to Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.


'Branded a White Man'



Fox News reported today that participants in the meeting said Noriega later told Brown, "As a Mexican-American, I deeply resent being called a racist and branded a white man."


Brown said in a pseudo-apology Thursday: "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."


U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, a Florida Republican who organized the meeting, called Brown's comments "disappointing."

"To sit there and browbeat this man who is a Mexican-American and call him names, it was inappropriate," he said.

Rainstorm, can you ever come up with your own comments?? THey said the same thing on the news channels earlier this afternoon about if it were a conservative making the remark...yadayadayada

That was an insensitive, stupid remark, but don't lump all "liberals" together with that bad apple.

BTW - if the media was that liberal biased, why would we even see a report like this?

because it was on drudge, lol!! and lets not forget the media firestorm over trent lotts much less offensive comments.

[Derek Ortt]

Which is why we need to fund organizations like Drudge so that the truth gets out, not propaganda

I hate Corrine Brown. She is an idiot and shouldn't be in politics..

[Lindaloo]

She retracted it but if a white man had said that then look out. Trent Lott apologized and was dragged through the media coals while his comment was taken out of context by a liberal reporter. Someone needs to put a spin on it and run with it and demand her resignation.

Steph, they will report it because it is news. But they are not hyping it like they did with Trent Lott.
