he really means belgium chocolate, 70% dark with almonds. eating some now as i ponder this cat's genuis for making intelligent statements..........
It's all about his voting base. As of right now, he has none.
All racism should be exposed.
With theaters in NOLA running "Brokeback" mountain 24/7!
Is Nagin the n word i keep hearing about ?
"...worst mayor in America..."
Hey, not so fast there, he said, from just south of Detroit...
I'll never understand how Bush got all the heat when democrats like nagin and blanco have run new orleans like a third world country for decades now.
Heck of a job Nagin
Heck of a job Blanko
No, he's a "high brown" as they say in NOLA
Creole mix of french/black.
Grandpa probably owned slaves.
You've never met a bigot until you've met a high brown.
This comment from the article caught my eye. Has the writer not noted that the casualty toll was slightly disproportionately non-black? Which "predominantly white" neighborhoods is he referring to, Algiers? Uptown? Lakeview and Lake Vista certainly didn't escape. Those are the only "predominantly white" neighborhoods I know of in the parish.
It's a good thing Nagin's little God doesn't have anything to do with category three hurricanes, huh?
ROFLMAO!!!
From the article:
The city was more than 60 percent black before Hurricane Katrina displaced about three-quarters of its population, but spared several predominantly white neighborhoods.
Um...
ok, ok...there are several top notch candidates for that prestigious honor fo' sure
Attitudes like the ones given voice by Nagin's comments are the reason why my parents are not interested in returning. Those incompetents couldn't keep 10 feet of water out of their house for a month, and now all they can do is stand around at some monument and race-bait. And, BTW, if NO was meant by God to be majority black, how does he account for the first 250 years of the city's history, when it wasn't? Looks like God's mighty slow to get around to things in Ray Nagin's chocolate world.
Apparently New Orleans wasn't New Orleans into the 1970-80s when it became majority black.
can you imagine the mayor of Saint Paul, MN or Casper, WY saying "Casper is white" or "Saint Paul is white" - OK they'd be right about the ghost and the saint, but..... imagine the outrage!!
He actually said that?
What is a "second-line"? I'm from the north, and have never heard this term before.
....I wouldn't ever go there, even if my favorite Aunt died!
That was one thing that surprised me in New Orleans, the racial tension between blacks based on skin lightness. There was also a lot of tension with the Vietnamese. Whites generally moved to Slidell, Metarie or someplace else. Except for a few high rent districts, being white in New Orleans was VERY dangerous.
