"We ask black people ... 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," Nagin said Monday. "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."

How do idiots like this get elected? What a dumba$$!
What in the world is this man smoking? To get things done don't you need everybody working together?
I'm sure Dr. King is shaking his head saying someboy help the boy.
Man, just think about the cool food you'd get if you mix Tex-Mex with NOLA food.
Only one problem mayor, black people don't like to swim...or drown for that matter!
Pinged for future moonbat abuse.....
You gotta hear the audio lol, he said this morning he was talking with Mr.Luther King.
This turd has gotten a free pass from the oldstream media since hurricane katrina and they won't dare challege him on this racist remark now. They don't want to be accused of attacking a minority. If a white mayor had made this same statement, he would have resigned before the 5pm news even hit the air. People just like nagin would have made sure of it.
Oops!
Head of nail, meet hammer.
Whatever happened to that good, raw conservative notion that was floatin' 'round a while back about letting the old ocean have N'Orleans? I'm still liking that idea.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
Good ole Ray Nagin - judging people by the color of their skin. The man should have listened to the speach by MLK.
What an odd decision by God. And even odder to share this decision exclusively with Nagin, who is quite possibly the dumbest elected official I have ever seen.
Lucky for him the MSM is biased about this kind of stuff.
Quite poetic.. however the reality is.. New Orleans was always mainly.. the darkened corrupted dregs of human life.. Chocolate sounds good but is not the case Now, and never was.. .. New Orleans was corrupt and corrupted the whole state.. no matter the color..
Was there a few Lotts to that Sodom and Gomorrah.?. absolutely.. and some Angels too..
