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."
Nagin described an imaginary conversation with King, the late civil rights leader.
"I said, `What is it going to take for us to move on and live your dream and make it a reality?' He said, `I don't think that we need to pay attention any more as much about other folks and racists on the other side.' He said, `The thing we need to focus on as a community — black folks I'm talking about — is ourselves.'"
Nagin said he also asked: "Why is black-on-black crime such an issue? Why do our young men hate each other so much that they look their brother in the face and they will take a gun and kill him in cold blood?"
The reply, Nagin said, was: "We as a people need to fix ourselves first."
Nagin also said King would have been dismayed with black leaders who are "most of the time tearing each other down publicly for the delight of many."
A day earlier, gunfire erupted at a parade to commemorate King's birthday. Three people were wounded in the daylight shooting amid a throng of mostly black spectators, but police said there were no immediate suspects or witnesses.
"Son, you were made at Willie Wonka's chocolate factory."

Is the Hershey company relocating to NO!
In other news, Nagin stated, "I'm Gumby dammit!"
Nagin is high yellow, what's he talking about chocolate?
"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.I can see why he'd be fumin' about the voters of New Orleans...
It's amazing that people this stupid are elected. Reminds me of when the idiots here in Minnesota elected Jessie Ventura. People thought it was "cool". Like some sort of football game. "Yay. We won."
Makes me fear for the future. I believe that people will vote for Hilary just for the novelty.
Do you think Mayor Nagin's comments are appropriate?

Just last night I found a picture of my grandmother as a teenager on the front porch of her home in Compton, CA. I couldn't believe how clean it was.
LOL!!!
Typical. Maybe next time he'll hire a speechwriter. (Actually, condensed milk is used, but we ALL understand your point, Ray.) I wonder if he was trying to be coy about keeping the illegals out I hear are taking all the jobs in the rebuilding. He failed miserably.
Wait a minute!! I thought Naggin Nagin moved here to the Dallas area. You mean we lost him? He's not gonna live here? He's moved back to New Orleans...er New Chocolate?
There is a God! Hallelujah!!
this very dumb man not only says we are in Iraq under false pretenses, but also says one day NOLA will be like "chocolate" again one dumbed down human being. If anything, God is letting him live only so we can laugh at his low IQ.
does anyone know of an email address for this idiot Nagin??
Here's the website page that has the form for emailing the Mayor's office.
Have fun!

RE: "That mayor of New Orleans, what's his name..."
...'Clueless Noggin'...?

RE: "I take offense at that post. John Paul was human but please don't try to use him that way."
You have that right, however no offense to John Paul was intended, as I think is plain... if you read that post.
