NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Mayor Ray Nagin on Monday called for the rebuilding of a "chocolate New Orleans" that maintains the city's black majority, saying, "You can't have New Orleans no other way."

"I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," Nagin said in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."

Racist comments just don't count when it comes from people of color.

"You can't have New Orleans no other way."

......and some please tell me why blacks feel a need to downgrade their grammar when speaking to other blacks. I'm dismayed when even the leaders speak this way.

No wonder young blacks consider using proper English "acting white."

Maybe he should take a high-schooler as an unpaid intern in his office. The intern could read his speeches and say..."Mr. Mayor, you are such a dumb schmuck if you give THIS speeach to the public!"

"Pure racism from the worst mayor in America."

His halfwit step brother, the hip hop mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick is the 2nd worst.

Translation:

"I can't get enough dead people to vote for a pothead mayor who can't find a parking lot full of yellow school buses when they are needed, so I need more blacks on my plantation to vote for me."

Can you imagine another big city mayor saying, "We need Cleveland to become a Vanilla city"?? The Reverend Jackson and Al Sharp-tongue would be there so fast they'd lose their Jherri-curls!
