Mayor Ray Nagin's Chocolate City


I love New Orleans and hope it fully recovers, the levees receive the attention they require (for a category 5, not a 3).

HOWEVER, I lost all respect today for New Orleans' mayor Ray Nagin. In a speech today, Martin Luther King, Jr., day this is what he said. Via Times-Picayune:

“It’s time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans,” he said. “And I don’t care what people are saying in Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day.”

Nagin also said that last year’s devastating hurricanes were signs of God’s wrath.

“Surely God is mad at America,” he said.

(continued)

Besides respecting one another, Nagin said his listeners need to pay attention to God, who, Nagin said, expressed his anger at America last year by sending hurricane after hurricane over the land.

“Surely he’s not approving of us being in Iraq under false pretense,” Nagin said. “But surely he’s upset at black America also. We’re not taking care of ourselves, we’re not taking care of our women, and we’re not taking care of our children . . .”


PURE STUPIDITY.
