New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin continued to address the fierce backlash stemming from a speech he gave on Martin Luther King Day, in which he referred to New Orleans as a “chocolate city” and said God wanted the city to be predominantly African-American.
Appearing on the Eyewitness Morning News on Thursday, Nagin said he did not anticipate the frenzied response to his remarks.
“…Martin Luther King is a pretty significant hero for me and I got emotional,” Nagin said. “I’ve been walking around with…all this stuff I’ve been getting from these town hall meetings—lots of frustration, anger, feelings of hopelessness—and I don’t know what happened…It came out, it was inappropriate and I am in deep regret.”
Nagin said he has not contacted President Bush to discuss his comments that Hurricane Katrina was God's response to the war in Iraq and believes the President understands where he was coming from.
The Mayor reiterated serious regret for imputing God during Monday’s remarks.
“That’s the one thing I regret the most. The whole comments about God…it was a crazy moment and I have deep regrets about that,” Nagin said, adding that he made a mistake and hoped the citizens of New Orleans would forgive him.
“I am only human,” Nagin said.
Finally, a real apology. Whether it was sincere.....?
He's a racist, plain and simple.
I guess he realized this after he found he couldn't walk on water.
Yep ...
But Mayor Nagin, we must know...
Are YOU a CHOCOLATE human??

Yeah - from a racist communist...
What Nagin said was 175 times worse than what Trent Lott said and meant but you don't see the media hounding Nagin. They're all praising him for his apology.
Buncha rats.
Beat me by "that" much!
LOL
I have a rich creamy center."
So is David Duke. Next point?
Translation = This is as close to an apology that you will get, now do your job and smear the Republicans like you are supposed to.
Another "gotcha" from the new media
Nagin.......as you are a Democrat.......you will be forgiven, and your remarks will overlooked, however if you were a Republican you would have already been run out of town in shame and disgrace and NO ONE would have DARED say, "you are only human', you would have been labeled an incompetent RACIST!!!
Interesting how the "liberals" always give some lame excuse for their behavior and expect it to be forgiven because of the lame excuse. I'm only human too, but being a Republican negates any torts I might commit, real or imagined or contrived to be torts by tyhe real racist Dims and MSM.
I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!!!!
David Duke is only human too.
Why do people always say, "I'm only human," when they really mean, "I am so dumb that even the news media has noticed."
