"We ask black people ... It's time for
us to come
together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleansâ€â€￾the one that should
be a chocolate New Orleans," Nagin said Monday. "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."

Replace black with white/chocolate with vanilla and
you'd have a racist.</font></font>

The piece of crap ought to be impeached and kicked out of town. Maybe there will be enough whites to vote him out in the next election.

Nagin tries to weasel word his way out of the situation. And I thought Clinton was slick?

On Monday, Nagin said God wanted New Orleans to be predominantly black and said he didn't care what the predominantly white Uptown section of the city had to say about it.


"I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," he said. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."


After the statement, he insisted he wasn't being divisive.


"How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about," he said. "New Orleans was a chocolate city before Katrina. It is going to be a chocolate city after. How is that divisive? It is white and black working together, coming together and making something special."

There's little doubt that this was intended to alleviate the paranoia of blacks who felt that the government intentionally flooded New Orleans in order to flush the blacks out and make it into a white city. The chocolate drink analogy is preposterous. There's no way he meant it that way. It's like Hornung and Deberry saying they want black athletes and then later saying, "Oh no, we want good athletes, black and white." Everybody knows they're full of crap.

I've seen Nagin speak quite a bit since the Katrina/government disaster, and he's pretty dumb. Blacks are allowed to be as racial as they want as long as they don't cross over an imaginary line and say things that even whites will ridicule or be upset by, but Nagin lacks even thatbasic savvy.

Maybe he is on our side after all.
