But when it comes to a trophy they all cheer for them and call them national heroes. What do you think of this? By the way I am not Brazilian.

First of all I am not Brazilian. But the person that said Brazil was built on slavery, it wasnt the Brazilians that did the Slave trade. Get your facts right. I am just stating a fact. But it is true I do not like the French.

The French racists?!?! Maybe some of you dumb Brazilian fans don't know that during the 1920-1930s France was the only safe place for couples which where different in race (IE: black and white).If they where in lets say America or England they would have been burned or stoned to death!!
BTW no matter if your black,white,yellow or even orange,Football wont care what your race is!! Leave your feet to do the talking not your color!!
This question is racist and unfair for the French!
Brazilian fans,get over it! You cant win all the time!! The French outplayed you fair and square!! They won in a noble manner unlike the Portuguese did! They where not playing football (the Portuguese)!!! They where just doing tackles!!

Ya sure, call the French racists. Do you know how many slaves were sent to south america? about 3 to 5 million. thats about 10 times as much were sent to the south US. Brazil was built on slavery, and considering the shape of their shiity country, they did a bad job of building.
So get over it you brazillian fan they lost to France,
Go Portugal

If this is true, then they are the biggest hypocrites cuz Henry and Viera are like the best black players and Ribery and Zidane are both Muslim. All four of them are actually part of the top 10 best players left in the tournament as well. So they are very good regardless of race. But, since they are from those denominations, and French people are actually racists, then the French are hypocrites.

There is no country and no ethnic group that does not have racists among them. Currently, hoards of people are moving into other countries where things have been run well and the people are prosperous from countries that are rife with mismanagement, corruption, lawlessness, disease, violence, and because of that great poverty. This is a situation that causes resentment and alarm and social unrest. Always has caused it. So some of what you term racism is not, and some of it is racism that the above situation has fanned the flames of.

Just to say I'm Brazilian and I don't believe the French are known to be racist. Infact I found France to be very tolerant of other ethnicities and such. And yes, I totally agree with PALADIN...I can't stand people who clearly don't know their history.

Nope. Not Brazilian there, "Pancho". Not a chance.
Where is it here....."Incites Violence or Hatred".
Edit: oh, and then there's mare0705 with the lowbrow mention of slavery in Brazil and then cheering for one of the countries who *brought* those very slaves to Brazil (and since you apparently need the history lesson, that was Portugal). Dumb and dumber in this one.

they are racist? there are also rallies like this in germany, america, and many other countries around the world. are they right? no, but they still happen everywhere. And not all french are racist. to say so makes you in a sence, racist. the vast majority are not, and to them, this ethnically diverse team is a group of national heroes, so why not cheer. they love their team and their sport, and they love to win. any other country cheers for their team when they win.

All they did was throw bananas on the field because they thought the players needed a snack. The pros don't get orange slices and HI-C at halftime ya know...
It's weird how the media tries to spin this into being a racial problem.

Racism is sad and hypocritical. i bet those same french racists were probably cheering on Thierry Henry when he scored for the against Brazil.

Because the blacks and Muslims are always causing disorder and chaos. They should be required to be good behaved and put them under rule of law. French is not to blame.
