A Chocolate New Orleans
Hey, don't blame me for that one. Mayor Ray Nagin was the genius behind those words, in a speech about rebuilding New Orleans and maintaining a black majority in the population. "This city will be chocolate at the end of the day." Mmm. Lovely expression there, Mr. Mayor.
Who cares? Seriously- why does it have to be an issue at all? What difference does it make? Peoples is peoples. That's what I say. Rebuild the dang thing and let whoever wants to come back, come back.

Can you imagine what would happen if somebody said "Atlanta will be white bread at the end of the day". Why is one okay and not the other if free speech is really to be true. It seems those who advocate free speech adamantly are the ones who clamp down most on those people who want to use it. Anyways...

His words yesterday confirm what Hurricane Katrina proved: Ray Nagin is an idiot. It is astounding to me that the Mayor of New Orleans, in so many words, told white people that they weren't important in that city. Or, at least, he said they were only important so long as there were more blacks than whites. He is a disgrace.
The previous commenter was correct. If the mayor of a majority-white city made such a comment, there would be Hell to pay--assuming that mayor was white. Most likely, there would be calls for that mayor's resignation in many quarters in such a situation.
