Would one expect anything else from an obviously racist politician?

Has Nagin been taking lessons from Detroit's Kilpatrick?

Can Honore run for Mayor?

[Gordongekko909]

"The first time he ran, he won with white votes,” said Loyola political analyst Ed Renwick. “About 85 percent of the whites voted for him. His white vote has deteriorated significantly, so he has to pick up black votes to replace them."

I had Renwick back in undergrad. Sharp guy.

Screw this racist!!

[coconutt2000]

New Orlean's black mayor is a racist, hateful fellow full of unresolved issues. I'm sure he still blames all white people for his only being a mayor instead of governor. It doesn't matter that he didn't run for governor, it is still the white people's fault that he's only a mayor. And if he loses this election, it will be because white people cheated him out of his victory. His lack of a platform other than the color of his skin would've had nothing to do with it. White people should vote for him because of all those slaves that worked the white man's fields for all those years. It is only fair that white people vote for black people to make up for slavery. Black people should vote for him because they're black and he's black, and black people should stick together. Mayor Ray Nagin freed the black people from slavery and he deserves their vote. As mayor, he promises that the police will harass old white women and beat up crackers in retribution for centuries of oppression. If you vote for Mayor Ray Nagin, he'll cover New Orleans in chocolate, and make sure every home has a box of brownies, a crack pipe, and ultra soft, double ply toilet paper. Mayor Nagin's one regret is that he was unable to get filthy rich during his previous term, and he hopes to embezzle more money in his next term. /sarcasm

Stick a fork in Nagin. He's done.

Problem for him is that more whites vote then blacks. Southern whites don't appreciate his dealing the race card from the bottom of the deck. They're going to drop him like a chocolate turd.

""The challenge for Mayor Nagin is that everything he says is going to be evaluated in a post chocolate city environment," said Lee. "

I think this nickname is here to stay.

[Rokurota]

“I will vote for Nagin and I hope he never makes another statement like that because it’s an insult.”

"I will stick my hand on the hot oven again and just hope I don't get burned again."

[Tzimisce]

It's only racist if a white person is saying it about nonwhites....

[elhombrelibre]

Race-baiting: the last tactic of a failed politician turned demagogue.

[Rocketwolf68]

Let's see, he got voted into office by whites, moved his family to a white town when the going got rough, leaned on whites for donations to the most corrupt city since soddom and gomorra,then blamed whites for N'awlins ills,blamed Bush and white folks for an act of God (and his own stupidity and ineptitude afterward)and
concocts conspiracy theories about the levees being blown up by whitey! Whew, good luck gettin the white vote, JACKASS!

Guess we'll have to see how the 'ahem' multi-state "I ain't got no I.D." VOTING goes...

[cubreporter]

who is nagin?

[rightwinggoth]

"The challenge for Mayor Nagin is that everything he says is going to be evaluated in a post chocolate city environment," said Lee.

This is perhaps the most screwed-up statement I've ever heard from a political analyst.

“I have 23 candidates running for mayor and very few of ‘em look like us.”

[Caipirabob]

“About 85 percent of the whites voted for him."

Because they looked at him AS A MAYOR, NOT A BLACK MAN!

"His white vote has deteriorated significantly..."

Ya think?!? LOL!

Heck, I'd imagine most Blacks are cringing when this fool opens his mouth. They want NOLA back and to live in peace with each other, and Nagin's turned it into a racially tainted issue which serves no one.

Best of luck to our NOLA FReepers. I hope you actually have elections and find a leader among the choices.

[G.Mason]

After all these years I am finally understanding why blacks like Nagin play the race card consistantly, and in every thing they do.

Simply put ... It is the only card they have.

While most everyone else in the world is dealt five cards in the game of life, the poor Naginites only get dealt one.

I'll see you, and raise you $1,000.

[Galveston Grl]

Race baiting is all Nagin has to offer.
