Between Abortion & Black-On-Black Crime, Black-Americans can just leave God out of their problems!
Yeah, somehow I don't think Nagin will be subjected to the right-out-of-Orwell Two Minutes Hate that Pat Robertson endured last week.
[[Nagin told the crowd that he also asked, "Why is black-on-black crime such an issue?]]
Yes nagin, the whole country would like to know the answer to that. Well, we're waiting????
I SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do we call them blacks, chocolates, or African Americans?

how about the other (one of thousands) stupid quote by Ray Nagin
"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."
Personally, I think this should be on the Networks, broadcast into every home watching. Wonder how many folks will be thinking to themselves after that chocolate comment, " ....and all you crackers will be financing this with your tax money..."
1. Moses
2. John the Baptist
3. Noah
4. The dingbat mayor from New Orleans who is channelling MLK and ran like a rabbit and left his people to drown like rats.
5. Abraham
6. Adam and Eve.
7. Jesus Christ
Now, see how well that fits?
/sarc
Nagin is trying to do an impression of Pat Robertson.
this FPOS got a new connection or something??? this is the third story on this sorry azz running his motormouth today!!!Nagin: You are showing yourself to be a nut every time you open your mouth. Shut up.
I remember some people on this forum telling us he was the best Mayor New Orleans ever had. HAHAHAHAHA. Just how stupid did those people think we were anyway?
Good one, a lair speaks for God.
And this stupid bastard, Nagin -- believes America should put BILLIONS into rebuilding New Orleans -- with a$$holes like him and Blanco in charge?
Personally, I'm sure I don't want to invest in another "Chocolate" New Orleans.....
Semper Fi

1/16/2006 —“Nagin’s Chocolate New Orleans”
Oh, my gosh.
Even if Ray Nagin is playing to an African American crowd during a highly-emotional time, Chocolate New Orleans is not politically correct. And, it is absolutely not good politics considering the Mayor is running for re-election.
According to the Times Picayune, Nagin said, “"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."
Chocolate?
Then again, that is Ray Nagin.
When he first took office, his own press secretary, Patrick Evans said at that time that Nagin made made him “cringe”.
That’s because you never knew what he was going to say. And, that’s because, Ray Nagin is the “City´s Real Mc Coy. In many respects, that´s exactly what people love and some hate about him.
He was the first major black political figure to question the black infrastructure about its own role in stopping crime. Today he seemed to send mixed messages to a city that is on the brink of failure and possible greatness.
Nagin made controversial statements--especially for a Mayor-- who needs the good graces of the President of the United States for the City of New Orleans, George Bush. He also did not show he was the captain of his own ship. Some might say, that he seemed to take a page out of Franklin Graham and Pat Robertson by saying, "Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it´s destroyed and put stress on this country. 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."
Whether Nagin wants the city to be “chocolate or not, he stayed the course on his message that has given to the black community throughout his administration—even during last year’s Martin Luther King Day celebrations.
"It´s time for all of us good folk to stand up and say we´re tired of the violence. We´re tired of black folks killing each other "
"Dr. King, if he was here today, he would be talking to us about this problem. The problem we have among ourselves,".
Referring to the internal political struggles of the city among the African American community Nagin said, "most of the time tearing each other down publicly for the delight of many."
Yes, “Chocolate Nagin” makes us all cringe. He has some far-out philosophies that others like Robertson and Billy Graham’s son have taken a beating in the media. He says things that blacks and whites applaud but then question his double standard and even his political motivations or compass.
Yet, he calls it as he sees it—whether it be for the better or for the worse for him, politically. He is as colorful as New Orleans can be—assuming chocolate is indeed a color.
God's ways are past searching out -- so I don't know. But PERHAPS God is mad at New Orleans for hosting the decadence festival, for being a hotbed of homosexuality, permissiveness, prostitution, drug abuse, alcoholsm, and debauchery. In the past the mayor has welcomed perverted, ungodly events to New Orleans with open arms, "Come on down, we have great hotels, restaurants and bars -- we are happy for you to parade (literally) your perversions in our streets. Instead of looking to Iraq for the reason, perhaps he needs to start at home.
"A WDSU-TV poll asked local residents about the Mayor’s “chocolate” remarks. Last evening, over 12,000 votes were recorded and an astounding 94% voted that Nagin’s comments were inappropriate."
Wonder what percentage of the 94% were chocolate?
