This fool knows as much about running a city as a cat knows about driving a car.

Racial bias . . . . . Chocolate city!!???

Gee, how could anyone construe anything racial about that? But, let's put the other foot in the mouth and suppose that a white mayor said something about a vanilla city?? Would he get the same kind of pass from the MSM that Nagin is getting??

Enquiring minds want to know.

There was a big fudge industry in NO too. Fudge packers everywhere you looked.

Or perhaps God was testing Nagin and he failed big time.

Sugar Ray said, “Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country.”

God destroyed this country?

Yo, Ray. You want to see what God destroyed? Take a look at the earthquakes in the middle east. Or the tsunami in the Indian Ocean.

Was God punishing someone for those?

He is not stupid but was just grandstanding. Read his bio in Wickipedia. He has a bachelors degree in economics and a MBA and was a life long republican and exec. at Cox until he decided to run for mayor.

Sugar Ray also bemoaned the infighting among black leaders and said that King would not cotton to the fact that they are...

Nothing like bringing up the word cotton into this piece in order to gin up some controversy and to pick at the scab wounds of racism.

For me the best thing that came out of the N.O. mess was freedom. Freedom from white guilt. The minorities have circled their wagons around a group of leaders that only subscribe to the victim mentality and play the race card and guilt card with every hand. You show the world, daily, which side of the producers/users equation you want to be.

To the majority of the minorities that have fallen into this plantation trap I say it could not happen to a more deserving people. Keep up the victim mentality and while you sit on you fat welfare ass waiting for this white guy to give you more money, I'll be out earning it and keeping it to myself.

To the few who want to be Americans and not xxx-Americans you are welcome into my neighborhood and my home anytime. The rest of you low lives, FOAD.

All these folks that try to attribute the bad stuff to "God is mad and venting His anger" need to do some studying. God need do no bad because Satan is very capable. The storms are merely a natural part of what makes the world go around and God's role is to give us an opportunity to make something good of it, while Satan's intent is to use it to turn folks away from God. To attribute natural disasters to God is ignorant, misguided, or intentional evil.

I have no problem with black business owners from around the country or locally investing heavily in New Orleans redesign and rebuilding. There's nothing wrong with a city having predominant cutural/historical flavor that represents the majority of the population. Nagin mispoke, but the idea of challenging business owners and citizens of his own ethnic group to make a special effort to focus on rebuilding here is a good one.
