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. ADVERTISEMENT

"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.

"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.

Would Martin Luther King have said this when he stood for equality?

I'm waiting for the same outcry that Pat Robertson received.

Well, the Good Lord must be ripped at the NO, because he made Ray Nagin the mayor.

All he does is whine and complain.

Here's what it comes down to: We can't handle this ourselves, Uncle Sam, so send more money. I see.

So, does anyone know where all that money is going?

Perhaps the mayor does. But i doubt it. After all, he's oppressed.

"God is mad at America"

Very Falwellian

[LIConFem]

Didn't God aim that last hurricane directly at Nagin?? Maybe it's him God's mad at.

[SR 50]

For hundreds of years, man, has tried to answer why GOD responds the way he does.

Now, Ray Nagin, has figured it out. GOD is mad at black america. Nagin now wants to put blacks all in one place, so it will be easier for GOD to find them next time.

[DOGEY]

WHO VOTES FOR THESE RETARDS !!!!????


Other retards.

"New Orleans Mayor," Says God "mad at U.S."

Fixed

[outlaw1_2003]

Nagin described an imaginary conversation with King, the late civil rights leader.

Maybe he's been out in the sun too long!

[edcoil]

Maybe God just wanted Nagin to move to Dallas, Texas?

All he does is whine and complain.

Yep. He whined and complained and my hometown stepped in through the B.S. and did what Nagin should have been doing.

Never have I ever been prouder to be a Houstonian than I was during that instinctive reaction it had to people who simply needed help.

[outlaw1_2003]

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."


I believe that the mayor, before the alleged conversation with MLK, is what we used to refer to as "Trippin without our luggage."

"Surely God is mad at America.

Nah....he's just mad at New Orleans, Ray.

Because they elected you.

He was just 'hittin the pipe', listening to some Parliament Funkadelic and got inspired:

"Chocolate City"
Uh, what's happening CC?
They still call it the White House
But that's a temporary condition, too.
Can you dig it, CC?

To each his reach
And if I don't cop, it ain't mine to have
But I'll be reachin' for ya
'Cause I love ya, CC.
Right on.

There's a lot of chocolate cities, around
We've got Newark, we've got Gary
Somebody told me we got L.A.
And we're working on Atlanta
But you're the capital, CC

Gainin' on ya!
Get down
Gainin' on ya!
Movin' in and on ya
Gainin' on ya!
Can't you feel my breath, heh
Gainin' on ya!
All up around your neck, heh heh

Hey, CC!
They say your jivin' game, it can't be changed
But on the positive side,
You're my piece of the rock
And I love you, CC.
Can you dig it?

Hey, uh, we didn't get our forty acres and a mule
But we did get you, CC, heh, yeah
Gainin' on ya
Movin' in and around ya
God bless CC and its vanilla suburbs


Yeah!
What's happening, black?
Brother black, blood even
Yeah-ahh, just funnin'

Gettin' down

Ah, blood to blood
Ah, players to ladies
The last percentage count was eighty
You don't need the bullet when you got the ballot
Are you up for the downstroke, CC?
Chocolate city
Are you with me out there?

And when they come to march on ya
Tell 'em to make sure they got their James Brown pass
And don't be surprised if Ali is in the White House
Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasure
Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
Stevie Wonder, Secretary of FINE arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady
Are you out there, CC?
A chocolate city is no dream
It's my piece of the rock and I dig you, CC
God bless Chocolate City and its (gainin' on ya!) vanilla suburbs
Can y'all get to that?
