Mayor Ray Nagin

[hutchies]

Did anyone hear this guys speech? He noted that God caused the hurricanes because of us being in Iraq and that God is not happy with the black community. He later said that they need to rebuild New Orleans and that it should be a "choclate community".

I am seriously beginning to think this guy is a racist against cultures other than the black community.

Here is a short piece written by ABC.

NEW ORLEANS - Mayor Ray Nagin suggested Monday that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other storms were a sign that "God is mad at America" and at black communities, too, for tearing themselves apart with violence and political infighting.

"Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country," Nagin, who is black, said as he and other city leaders marked Martin Luther King Day.

"Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."

Nagin also promised that New Orleans will be a "chocolate" city again. Many of the city's black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.

"It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans -- the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," the mayor said. "This city will be a majority African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans."

He is still just as much of an idiot as Jesse Jackson!

He was also lamenting all of the black-on-black violence when *surprise, surprise* three people were wounded by shots fired from a mostly black crowd that had gathered for a parade to commemorate ML King Jr's birthday.

You guys should know by now that it's totally acceptable for one black man to call another blackman, anything he likes, and it's not considered racist. That's just the way it is.

[hutchies]

Well what bothers me is that he is calling it a choclate community almost as if other races are not welcome.

[Master_Chief]

Too hot down there for me anyhow.

This could be a very volatile thread.

Also heard that Hilary Clinton gave a speech the other day about how the Bush office is the worst ever in the history of the US, and she apologized to the Afro-Americans because the white people and the government ignored them during the hurricanes.

She also compared the US House of Representatives to a "plantation". I wonder why she didn't include the Senate? http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sorry for the hijack...

Ignorance is a terrible thing, surely the Lord doesn't look down well on it either!

[unioncountyslayer]

Can I get an Amen!?

[ParrotHead]

Nagin is fighting to get the voting people that actually voted for him (the blacks) back to New Orleans. Right now, only white folks are moving back which can only mean one thing....a white mayor soon to be elected and one more brother filing for wellfare.

I just seen it on nightly news. What a piece of crap. I can't say anything else http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

truely said in poor taste, by one with nothing to offer

[okbowman]

He is an idiot, most of the bad things that happened could have been prevented if he and the governor would have done their jobs correctly!

[BowJoe]

If a white mayor said that he wanted his city to only be white, he'd be considered a racist. Hmmmmmmmmm. Funny to me that without the white man's money there'd be not New Orleans Mardi Gras. If you look at the crowds on a girls gone wild video, 99% of the people are white even though the city is a majority black. That's one thing that always cracks me up. If a black man insults the white people that's called Black Pride but if a white man insults black people it's called racism.

[vagobbln]

Nagin is a complete baffoon.

I remember the this joke during Katrina:

Reporter: "Mayor Nagin, what is your opinion of Roe vs. Wade?"

Nagin: "I don't care how these people get out of New Orleans - just get out!"

I'm beginning to think it wasn't a joke. After the "chocolate" comment, maybe he should move to Hershey, PA and run for mayor. Much of that city is already converted.

That's (candy) what I was talking about (insert tongue in cheek here). I wouldn't wish that idiot on anybody.

I just can't seem to tell a joke on this forum without offending TSBW http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif At least I didn't get a PM spanking this time! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[AdvantageTimberLou]

I heard him last night trying to defend his comment, this guy seems like a loose cannon and its almost like he thinks everyone is against him and his city.

For pete's sake buddy, a hurricane wiped you out, thousands of workers hurried down there to help and I can bet that the rebuilding will get done by people that want to see New Orleans rise again. Comments like his just keep the moral low and make some think about why they are there to help rebuild.

Someone needs to help him on his speeches and explain to him what a metaphor is! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

No actually he says it is Gods fault.

[okbowman]

Next thing you know this guy will be up in arms over the naming of the hurricanes. He'll have the NAACp after the people who name the hurricanes to call them something more "chocolate" sounding.

What a nut!
