ANCFlyer you will love this!
Our man Ray Nagin does it again! He promised that New Orleans will be a "chocolate" city again as many of the city's black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.
A "chocolate" city? WTF????
Then there is this gem.
Mayor Nagin suggested that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other storms were a sign that "God is mad at America".
"Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country."
Boy oh boy! First it's Walter Cronkite now the Big Easy Idiot. Hey Ray, maybe it's God that's mad at idiots! YOU!
Is it a full moon or what????
Take a deep breath all you intelligent people. This too will pass.

A similar lament is often heard here in the DC metro area. Every so often the Post will run a story about the increase of the white population in the District, and the usual suspects will moan about how DC's status as "chocolate city" is in danger, and what can be done to stop the inflow of whites. And not ONE person will comment about how racist these comments are.
Don't you just love the double standard we live with. When a city goes from majority white to majority black that is progress and diversity, but when a majority black city starts trending back to white, it's a tragedy that needs to be stopped.

Back when Nagin was running for mayor against Police Chief Richard Pennington, I remember thinking what a breath of fresh air he would bring to the city of New Orleans. Not being a resident of New Orleans, I was not able to vote in the election, but because Nagin sounded like a man on a mission to change the status quo of corruption and neglect in the city during the current administration (Marc Morial) and previous ones (Barthelemy, Landrieu, etc), I supported him. Today he's lost what little respect I had left for him.
His actions, and more so, his words, however, have spoken volumes, especially since Katrina. He went over the top with his remarks today. And to make them in the midst of an MLK parade makes them that much worse. MLK would never have stood for those remarks.
As far as the "God is mad", etc, etc comments..........he's obviously spending too much time trying to imitate Pat Robertson.

What he neglected to mention was his subconscious desire to make it a "white chocolate" city when he purposely broke the levees so they would just flood the black sections of town

Makes me want to write an article for the paper talking about how we need to do more to stop the inflow of blacks. That article wouldn't be on the newstand 5 minutes before there was everything short of a race riot being led by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on the steps of the newspaper building.
I wonder who will be first to take a quote from that out of context?
Racism is a two way street, and the people first to cry racism are usually the ones who think the white man is keeping them down. I don't care who lives in my city as long as they pay taxes, don't make a lot of noise, and don't break the laws.

No clue. He would likely be castrated by mobs in one of those countries. Anyway, as far away from here as possible for him is good for me. Did you know the guy wears make up constantly?

What happens when whites return to an area, the housing market values rise as usually a lot of renovation is being done and the area becomes "trendy", as in $$$$$. The blacks don't like this because it prices them out of the market. Look at Midtown in Houston, great example.
