Honduran Coup Foreign Minister Calls Obama “Little Black Man”
-------------------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile the Honduran coup regime’s foreign minister has apologized for
racially-charged remarks about President Obama. In several radio
interviews, Enrique Ortez Colindres referred to Obama as a “negrito,” or
“little black man.” At one point Ortez Colindres described Obama as
“this little black man who has no idea where Tegucigalpa is.” He
apologized after the US ambassador to Honduras expressed outrage.
