Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

N.O. Mayor Ray Nagin wants a “chocolate” New Orleans
On MLK Day, a day named in honor of a man who fought for equality, New Orleans Mayor and all-around bigot Ray Nagin called for a “chocolate New Orleans” – in front of a crowd that had gathered at City Hall for a MLK Day march:
“We ask black people … It’s time for us to come together. It’s time for us to rebuild New Orleans — the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans,” Nagin said Monday. “This city will be a majority African American city.
And in what could only be characterized as an imitation of Pat Robertson, Nagin added:
It’s the way God wants it to be. You can’t have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn’t be New Orleans.”
But that’s not all:
“Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it’s destroyed and put stress on this country,” Nagin, who is black, said as he and other city leaders marked Martin Luther King Day.
“Surely he doesn’t approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We’re not taking care of ourselves.”
Nagin seemed to get back on the road to sanity here:
“I said, `What is it going to take for us to move on and live your dream and make it a reality?’ He said, `I don’t think that we need to pay attention any more as much about other folks and racists on the other side.’ He said, `The thing we need to focus on as a community _ black folks I’m talking about _ is ourselves.’”
Nagin said he also asked: “Why is black-on-black crime such an issue? Why do our young men hate each other so much that they look their brother in the face and they will take a gun and kill him in cold blood?”
The reply, Nagin said, was: “We as a people need to fix ourselves first.”
Nagin also said King would have been dismayed with black leaders who are “most of the time tearing each other down publicly for the delight of many.”
The question remains: when are people going to call Nagin to task for his comments regarding God and whether or not He is happy with America? Now I know some may think “Who cares? He’s a mayor – he doesn’t help set policy outside of his city and what he says doesn’t affect me one way or the other.” But the fact remains that he is a well-known mayor now thanks to his handling (or shall I say lack thereof) of pre and post Hurricane Katrina. Also, when will he be taken to task for calling for a “chocolate New Orleans”? Can you imagine a white mayor calling for a “vanilla [insert city name here]“? The howls of outrage would be heard around the world.
Just one more in a long line of hypocritical stances on the part of the usual suspects in the MSM, the Democratic party, and America’s “black leadership” – with that stance, of course, being not to criticize a black man. Unless he happens to be a Republican who steps out of the group-think box, of course.
Oh well. At least Nagin didn’t call for the extermination of all white people.

Update/Sidenote: Check out Hillary Clinton’s pandering at the the MLK Day celebration at Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network:
“When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation and you know what I’m talking about…”
Sigh. (Hat tip: Wizbang)

Well we all know about the double standard about these things. Black “leaders” like Nagin are allowed to get away with racist comments like “This city will be a majority African American city” and the msm will yawn. Yet these same leaders tell their pepple that their biggest problem is white racism. The real problem in the black community, of course, is single parenthood. But noone wants to talk about that.
So Mayor Racist Ray Noggin has said publicly that he wants New Sludge City, the Big Sleazy, to be a chocolate city……… I would suggest that we white folks oblige this man and do everything possible to not pollute his chocolate city with our pale presence. I realize that many white people want to “do Mardi Gras”. I’ll suggest that we go where we are appreciated, and also get to participate in a much more traditional Mardi Gras. As a former resident of Lafayette, Louisiana; I found the real deal, all the partying, all the Cajun food, all the Cajun and Zydeco music, all the warmth of the Louisiana Cajuns. Plenty of elbow room, and 1% of the crime. Not even any sludge on the streets. Just go West of the Big Sleazy to Mamou Louisiana. It is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leave Racist Ray and his dead city to those who elected his dumba$$. Believe me, you’ll enjoy it!

If you read the entire speech you will learn the Mayor did address those black issues, black on black crime, and single parents. The one remark was to get the attention of an all black crowd at a black celebration to the talk about the problems blacks create for themselves. So read the entire thing and see how less important the chocolate remark becomes.
JK, please read my entire post – then you’ll see where I addressed that already.
I was directing that to Tom who missed the Mayor’s remarks on single parents I assume?
The chocolate city thing cracks me up. He would be more accurate calling it a chocolate city with nuts on top.
Hi, SisterToldjah:
I thought Ray Nagin wanted Red Beans & Rice?
I doubt that many people who left Nawlins during and after Katrina are going to return any time soon.
So, the next step if for a cabal of Monied Investors to move in. Bulldoze and rebuild. In price ranges that will continue to keep out those all-so-important lower income voters.
Ray… Your bus has sprung a major leak and it’s time to bail out.
Jack.
Why does he think they will ever re-elect him?
Why does he think they will ever re-elect him?
And now you know why he wants a majority black city…
It is a rather sad reflection of the fact that “I Have A Dream” has been lost on Nagin and the rest of the civil rights leaders.
I Have A Dream
We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
Knothead Nagin just wants to create a machine like the one John Street has in Philadelphia where his machine can break any law it wants, including having poll workers vote a straight ticket for Democrats as Street’s people do.
You know it amazes me to read MLK’s speech and hear his heart for his children. What is very sad is for how many leaders is the color of the skin more important than the content of the character?? Dr. King was truly a great american, who’s tragic death has been a bane to all of us. – Lorica
If this racist mayor can do it so can I. HERE YE, HERE YE, I am a native from cajun country. I am not a racist. I love all people no matter what the color of skin. If you are a good person then your good, If your a bad person then your bad. But, I KNOW WE CAN REBUILD NEW ORLEANS AGAIN. I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE A VANILLA NEW ORLEANS. YOU CANT HAVE NEW ORLEANS ANY OTHER WAY!!!
Yep, it sounds just as twisted writing it and changing flavors as it did hearing it from the “BLACK” mayor of New Orleans. I hope he reads this thread, because I say to you Nagin “YOU ARE ONE RACIST SON OF A BIT**”
Well, I just listened to the speech again. Hey Mister Black mayor, If you really think that God wants New Orleans to be back black, then you need to start attending your local Church Mass, atleast everyday. I know that God is not a racist God, and that he did not create New Orleans for black people only. How the hell did you ever get voted mayor. I understand the so called black vote, but damn I know they are all not that racist. I know this because I vacationed there on many occasions. The people of New Orleans, All the people, are great. Very friendly, now I have to admit, I have never been to the now world famous “lower 9th ward”. The point I am trying to make is that N.O. is for everyone. Hey you, yeah you, right there reading this, If you want to move to New Orleans, and your not black, go ahead and do that. Dont let this racist mayor run or keep out any other color but black.
For my finial statment, I retract my last statment about the mayor being a racist S.O.B. and say this
Mister Black Mayor, YOU ARE ONE RACIST MOTHER FUC***
Actually, Maiheim, I think his mother has more taste than that…
Ray’s noggin is out in left field someplace.
There was a black majority in Nawlins before Katrina, hence the black city council and continuous black mayors — father and son Morials, each serving multiple terms, now this bonehead.
The black politicians, no more than babysitters of city infrastructure and not very good at it, basically are there to keep their electorate happy and keep them stroked.
The real power and financial know-how in the Crescent City, along with the businesses and the most(by far) property, is in the hands of old white money.
Nagin, like the rest of Nawlins’ city officials, serves at the pleasure of the old boy network(white folks).
That said, Nagin is just blowing smoke with his “chocolate” scenario, trying to get himself reelected when his term is up.
Hillary doesn’t realize this, but running the house as a plantation has always been a fantasy of her husband’s. Being an equal opportunity philanderer, the possibilities would be endless in an unequal power exchange environment. In addition, wasn’t Sally Hemmings and her life with Jefferson the topic of his dissertation at Oxford?
Mayor Nagin is a racist bastard and I hope someone straightens him out. If he wants an all black city, then there wouldnt be any welfare money cause all the whites would have left. Then what are the “chocolates” gonna do? I am sorry that i am being so forward about this, but i liked mayor Nagin until he said what he said. Now if a white person would have given that speech and said they want all milk city, the NCAACP would have been trying to put him behind bars. The blacks just started coming back and there have already been 2 shooting both involving deaths. My friends child asked me the other day we he gets off of school for a black guy but not for any white heros, like George Washington or Christopher Columbus, true heros, who also had dreams. I was speechless and didnt know what to say. We give them the chocolates to much as it is, and they still want more. Now they are asking us to stop the war to give black people the money for better schools. And i promise they will get it.
As someone who has lived on the Gulf Coast and experienced N’awlins on several ocassions, nothing surprises me about this. Long before Katrina came around, that city was literally and figuratively a cesspool full of nastiness, corruption, and yes, ignorance as Nagin clearly demonstrates time and time again.
Enough said …. on a lighter note y’all might enjoy the following article which shows what perils may come in creating a ‘Chocolate City’ (combining my musical tastes and taste for political satire):

ST Won’t chocolates melt in New Orleans?
maybe nagin should have said white chocolate
Check out what this guy wrote about the whole chocolate thing. Pretty funny:

Oh Yawn… Don’t you all have some roofing and sheetrocking to do? I do. Sounds like Ray is just trying some good ol Rebulican style polarizing politics. Works for the right-wing, right?
Who cares if the city is chocolate as long as the chocolate is sweet and not bitter?
Let them all move there and then the rest of America can be all but violent crime free.
You not it’s really funny sitting here reading all these post from people all around the country about Mayor Ray. You see I am from New Orleans I was born here and will die here this is my home and I love it, I guess I have trouble being upset with the Mayor for his comments (yes I am white) when you look back at the pathetic way all of this was handleed in the first place why are people really so surprised that he saild at all? Look he knows that his political career is over his and Gov. Blankstaire so he figured he go out with a bang.
