All of us are familiar with the fallout created by New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's racially questionable comments.
But THE DEAD PELICAN has learned that in 2004, Nagin did not take kindly to some allegedly "racial comments" made by the director of city planning.
In April of 2004, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin called for the ouster of the Director of City Planning over a racially insensitive remark he allegedly made during his first meeting in the position, THE DEAD PELICAN has leaned.
According to some of those in attendance at a 2004 meeting, Verl Emrick talked about wanting to hit the ground running by using an analogy to grabbing a tar baby by the ears and jumping right in.
The next day, Nagin called for an immediate search for another Planning Commission Director!
I cant imagine that in 2004 that someone would make those comments, said a statement released by the mayors office. As far as Im concerned, we need to continue the search for a City Planning Commission director. It is absolutely unacceptable for someone to make these comments at all.
"The originals are liberally sprinkled with the N-word, so displaying the book prominently is a great way to get fired--but I have a complete collection in my attic office, and it's full of timeless classics."
I have finally gotten a DVD of The Disney classic, "Song of ther South".
It was truly a wonderful movie and I had to get one from E-Bay.
Anyway, I mentioned to a racist (black) organization that I believed the Negroes had changed their acceptable designation from Negro to black to afro-american to whatever they want today.
You realize that they accept a designation and after whites become comfortable using it, they change it and if a white uses the old one, they are labeled insensitive and a racist again. There is NO satisfying these people.
I am white, not a honky! I am an american, not an anglo-american. Skrew hyphens!
Oh...........................................skrew nagin!
