NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Mayor Ray Nagin on Monday called for the rebuilding of a "chocolate New Orleans" that maintains the city's black majority, saying, "You can't have New Orleans no other way."
"I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," Nagin said in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."
Yes, he is making highly racial remarks. As a public official, he should be expecting a city WITHOUT colour. But as usual, it's the liberal mind set of 'help the brother's get their city'.....
Its unbelievable how big an idiot Nagin is. Its no wonder he couldn't figure out how to drive a school bus and get his chocolate brothas out of that shithole.
The problem in the city was never specifically a division of race, but was the broad inequities of the poor to rich. N.O. had some of the poorest neighborhoods in the country, predominately in black, sorry "dark chocolate", areas. The fact that he's focusing more on skin tone than on the underlying socio-economic factors that caused racial division and crime just further goes to show how much Nagin swings from Jesse Jackson nut sack and suckles from the salty bosom of Al Sharpton's taint.
<< New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said he's feeling better about his city, he feels confident he has gotten the attention of Gov. Kathleen Blanco and President Bush, but he said he fears the Central Intelligence Agency may take him out because he's been yelling at these officials.
He didn't say it once. He said it twice.
Last night he told a reporter for the Associated Press: "If the CIA slips me something and next week you don't see me, you'll all know what happened."
Today he told interviewers for CNN on a live broadcast he feared the "CIA might take me out." >>
lets all hope he knows what he us talking about this time.
Nagin Recruiting Hershey to Rebuild New Orleans
by Scott Ott
(2006-01-17) — In a further clarification of yesterday’s remarks that a rebuilt New Orleans would be a “chocolate” city, Mayor Ray Nagin today said he’s planning to recruit Hershey Foods to establish a candy manufacturing plant in the hurricane-ravaged region.
The Democrat mayor’s latest clarification builds on yesterday’s explanation that his remarks are not racist because chocolate is made with dark chocolate and white milk forming “a delicious drink.”
“We’re in the very, very early stages of discussions with Hershey,” Mr. Nagin said, “It’s still in the pre-meeting, pre-phone call stage. But that’s what this chocolate city concept is all about. It’s literally chocolate, rather than chocolate as a metaphor for something else. It’s edible chocolate. It really is.”
The mayor said he’s long been intrigued by the possibility of transitioning New Orleans’ economy from one “reliant upon fickle fads in human debauchery” to something more stable, like chocolate.
“Ever since I saw the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I’ve thought, ‘That’s New Orleans’,” Mayor Nagin said. “and I thought, ‘I’m Willy Wonka’. ”
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, who yesterday told a group of African-Americans that Republicans have run the House of Representatives like “a plantation”, said she would help Mayor Nagin secure federal funding to turn the Louisiana Gulf coast into “a chocolate version of Silicon Valley.
How long can it be before we see pictures of "The Looter" with a bucket full of Hersheys?
He's a serious fucking idiot, but most of us knew that before. Believe it or not he was an executive with cox cable prior to becoming mayor.
I bumped into him two nights before he said this at Lakeside News in Metairie. I didn't talk to him because I've met him a few times before, enough to realize what he is.
He's a big a racist as Marc Morial, our old mayor, who now heads the Urban League, if that tells you anything.
You can walk around my city right now and feel safe. Most (well over 90%) of the murders were black on black. I don't mind black people and have quiet a few black friends. But our project people, who are, with the excepion of less than 100 residents, all black, act like animals as you saw on national news. Like most business people, I want my city safe, because that is the only way we are going get any investment here. So needless to say, although I don't want anyone to prevent people from coming in, I won't be donating to any "Bus Back the Project People" campaigns. Nagin is frustrated because he's not getting support from people like me to bring back his electorate.
