peacefuljeffrey 0 #1 January 18, 2006 Ray Nagin (New Orleans Mayor) apparently thinks New Orleans should be built up again FOR blacks -- as in, it'd be a "chocolate" city for and about black people So how's that for racist? The guy wouldn't want us to make a ghetto to dump our poor black people into, I'm sure -- but he wants to make a ghetto himself, for what else would you call it if a city was all about being for black people? QuoteMayor Ray Nagin on Tuesday apologized for urging residents to rebuild a "chocolate New Orleans" and saying, "You can't have New Orleans no other way." "I'm really sorry that some people took that they way they did, and that was not my intention," the mayor said. "I say everybody's welcome." Nagin added that he never should have used the term "chocolate." Do ya think so?! It's not bad enough that the guy's attitude is clearly racist; he has to say it in "ebonics" ("...can't have New Orleans no other way")? Tell me, what other way besides RACIST can his comments be taken? Clearly he feels that whites don't belong in New Orleans; that they never contributed and should not contribute anything to it. And then he has the nerve to "apologize" -- by explaining that it's in the way we took his words, and not in what he actually said, that the problem arises! Don't backpedal, Nagin. You said how you really feel. Stand by it, ya fuckin' pussy! Yeah, "everybody" should feel real welcome in your proprietarily black city, Mr. Mayor. Really, from trying to take guns from citizens even as the police are failing utterly to protect them, to overtly racist comments, has this guy ever done a single thing right publicly? --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Samurai136 0 #2 January 18, 2006 but he wants to make a ghetto himself, for what else would you call it if a city was all about being for black people? I would call it a gated community, not a ghetto. Really... has this guy ever done a single thing right publicly? eh, who cares? He's up for re-election this year.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #3 January 18, 2006 Well, he goes on in the article to say this: QuoteOn Monday, Nagin said God wanted New Orleans to be predominantly black and said he didn't care what the predominantly white Uptown section of the city had to say about it. "I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," he said. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be." After the statement, he insisted he wasn't being divisive. "How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about," he said. "New Orleans was a chocolate city before Katrina. It is going to be a chocolate city after. How is that divisive? It is white and black working together, coming together and making something special." Keep digging the hole deeper, you stupid racist shitbag. You asked us how one makes "chocolate," and then give us a bullshit backpedal cover story that details how to make chocolate milk. And if you had a fucking brain in that great, bald, empty blackhead of yours, you'd know that chocolate milk is about 98% white milk, and then 2% chocolate syrup, by volume. You know, when some christian fundamentalist says that "God wants this" or "God punished you for that," everyone comes out of the woodwork to criticize it and say he was way out of line, and should resign from this or be punished in that way... I wonder if anyone is going to come out and publicly drag him onto the carpet for this obviously racist statement and his subsequent utter bullshit rationalizations for it. I won't hold my breath, though. Maybe Hillary will have balls enough to condemn it, though. She's got some strong moral fiber... --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

BillyVance 35 #4 January 18, 2006 Well, as far as I'm concerned, they should just do kind of like the movie "Escape From New York" and wall-off the 9th ward and turn it into a super-prison for the scum of the earth. It ain't worth rebuilding there anyway so empty the maximum security federal penitentiaries across the U.S. and throw them all in there and let them fend for themselves. Walls should be solid reinforced concrete 4 feet thick and 30 feet tall with a shit-load of razor-sharp wire across the top. No way out. I wouldn't mind seeing some of my tax dollars spent on this.

MC208B 0 #6 January 18, 2006 Nagin is such an asshole, but he is amusing with all his blather. Where are all the PC police when shit like that is said? If a caucasion mayor somewhere said he would rebuid a "vanilla" city, there would be hell to pay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #7 January 18, 2006 So, does he want to start busing people back into New Orleans? HE might as well try, since he was no good at busing them out. What he said was, "If you are white, you will not be welcome to live in New Orleans." Back in the 1950's, segregation was viewed as a bad thing. Same thing in the 60's and 70's by most folks. Then something happened, and the idea was floated, then taught at our schools, about group identity. "Not by the color of his his skin but by the content of his character" fell by the wayside. No WAY IN HELL MLK, Jr. could be a force today. He'd be an "Oreo." Resegregation then occurred. Voluntarily. Group identity became more important than individual identity. But heterosexula-Euro-Caucasian-Northern-Atlantic-Island-American Males such as myself are an exception to allowable group identity. The mayor's statement is truly disturbing. Not for what was specifically said, but for the inherent inferences. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hambone 0 #8 January 18, 2006 I don't know where to start with Nagin. He is corrupt, he is an idiot, he is a racist. I don't know if any of y'all (yes i just said y'all) saw it but on CNN this morning they were showing a clip form Anderson Cooper 360 last night, Nagin was supposed to come on his show so there was a CNN reporter more or less tracking him, well when it came time for Nagin to go on the show Nagin's people said that he was dealing with an emergency, when infact he was having dinner in a resturant on Bourbon Street. I feel as though he now realizes that he just commited political suicide. After Katrina, he could get away with saying pretty much anything, so people just said that he was distraught, but now that he is claiming that GOD is sending Hurricanes at N.O. cuz he is angry with black america, and angry with U.S. foreign policy, people see him for what he is, a fraud, a cheat, and a liar. I might also mention that he was granted a ton of money to stregthen the levies around N.O. (the ones that broke) long before Katrina hit, but instead they built a convention center. Good move mayor...good move. (stepping down off the soap box)Yeah...You need to grow up. -Skymama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #9 January 18, 2006 He also noted that the hurricane was "Gods punishment". Obviously he and Pat Robertson are the syrup and milk of a fully messed up glass of chocolate milk.

SpeedRacer 1 #13 January 18, 2006 I really don't give a s&*t about racial issues much anymore. let people say what they want, it all just makes me yawn. what I thought was stupid was the comment about how all these hurricanes happened because God was angry about Iraq. it boggles the mind how an educated person in modern times could have such a childish view of the world ( not that Nagin is the only one who thinks like this).

juanesky 0 #20 January 18, 2006 Man, are you feisty today aren't you. The fact is that this guy is black, talking about an all black NO, is democrat, and not many jump in the bandwagon on calling him racist. On the other hand, if you had to go to NO, and help people there, just being there and not black could have very easily tinted you as racist just by association, as was the case in an New Orleans thread not so long ago.

Richards 0 #23 January 18, 2006 Hi peacefuljeffrey, You clearly are mistaken here. Don't you realize that it is not racist when black people make remarks like that? It is only racist if white people make remarks like that. That is because everyone who is not white has been soooo victimized by us that it is their inherent right to make comments that would be deemed racist if white people made them. Cheers, Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
