This past Monday, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin attempted to do what should be so obvious to anyone with half a brain. When he said that New Orleans should once again be a "chocolate" New Orleans, he was at least speaking how he honestly feels. Crazy? You bet! What was crazy about it was how racist his words appeared to the remaining voters in that devastated city ... spoken on the day this nation was supposed to be celebrating the birthday of a man who "dreamed" of racially diverse harmony! It's more than obvious, the man knows that the ruin which hurricane Katrina caused and the subsequent lack of action on his part and that of Louisiana's worthless idiot governor resulted in the massive depletion of his voting base. To put it plainly, unless he gets those folks back to his city (and yes, a majority of whom are of non-caucasian persuasion) Ray Nagin is dead in the water - no pun intendid. I saw this all coming the day after the storm even before the levees broke. However, if you look back at MLK day, it was even more amusing to watch the others on the loony left make the Democrat party, as a whole, look even more nuts than Ray Nagin himself.
He said the same things about being punished shortly after it happened. It was ignored.
His comments that God is angry at the black community for over 70% illegitimacy rate and the like are actually among the more responsible things so-called black leaders ever say.
As far as a chocolate city -- New Orleans was and has been overwhelmingly black in terms of population and that developed over the years, decades and centuries quite naturally and I think there is no problem with saying that it will continue to have the naturally developed demographics it has always had.
Raggin of nagin is representative of the fact that no one has anything real to complain about.
