New Orleans mayor sorry about 'inappropriate' remarks

NEW ORLEANS -- Mayor Ray Nagin apologized Tuesday for a Martin Luther King Day speech in which he predicted New Orleans would be a "chocolate" city once more and asserted "God was mad at America."

"I said some things that were totally inappropriate...It shouldn't have happened," Nagin said, explaining he was caught up in the moment as he spoke to mostly black spectators, many of them fearful of being shut out of the city's rebuilding.

During the speech Monday, Nagin, who is black, said the hurricanes that hit the United States in quick succession were a sign of God's anger toward the country and black communities, too, for their violence and infighting. He also said New Orleans has to be a mostly black city again because "it's the way God wants it to be."

*snip*

Nagin said the other main point he hoped to make Monday was when blacks do return, they must work to stamp out crime and political infighting that have held them back.

New Orleans was more than 65-per-cent black before hurricane Katrina. The storm displaced about three-quarters of the city's population. Most of the estimated 125,000 residents who have been able to return are white.

I hope this Mayor receives a "Katrina result", i.e. is blown away, figuratively, in the upcoming election.

[Windsong]

Now watch him backpeddle. Too bad he will get re-elected. Again..and again. Much like those who voted for Clintoon cried "more, more!"

Sure would like to see a crime stats graff after this.

Nagiin isn't sorry, he said it, he meant it. Hillary isn't sorry for her plantation remark, believe me, that remark was intentional, even if a republican calls for an apology from her, who would believe it.

RATS think a simple "I'm sorry" covers their A$$, well it doesn't!

[Captainpaintball]

Which is worse? The expected pandering by Mayor Mochachino, or the chorus of "Mmmm-Hmmmm!"s, "Yessir!"s and "That's right!"s by the crowd? They are either (black) sheeple, too afraid to walk out or dispute his stupidity, or they are like-minded racists. Either is inexcusable. Shame on them.

[Radix]

This imbecile is going to get his ass kicked in the next election, if it ever happens.

"Chocolate" What a bunch of crap.

[Scribbz]

I love chocolate.

I was all excited about chocolate syrup for my ice cream!

[Paleo Conservative]

New Orleans mayor sorry

[Scribbz]

mmmmmmmmmmm....

chocolate.

[Howlin]

Douglas Brinkley, a MSNBC historian and from New Orleans, said last night that within the next few days, we're going to hear the real story about Nagin and the MANY 'breakdowns' he's had since Katrina.

He was completely disgusted with Nagin and said the sooner he's out of office, the better, preferrably before August.

[river rat]

The ignorant bastard is sorry he was caught...
The public should be sorry they have such an incompetent, inept, ignorant racist idiot for a mayor...

Blacks who elect blacks like this jerk, are their own worst enemy..

Semper Fi

[Kozak]

Make mine white.... /sarc

[Tzimisce]

Next Headline:

"Mayor Nagin Re elected in Landslide"...

[caryatid]

Sure would like to see a crime stats graff after this.

New Orleans had the highest murder rate in the country. Their murder rate dropped 20% because of the evacuation of the city after the hurricane. It was reported the other day that there have been only four murders since the hurricane. [That number may have risen since the report.] When people were shot during/after a parade the other day Hizzoner the Mayor remarked things are getting back to normalcy.

[caryatid]

New Orleans mayor sorry

 

 

Well .......... uh, yes .......... now that you mention it .......... LOL

 

[Jrabbit]

Good...I hope he takes Blank-o with him.

It amazes me when I see media interview this moonbat....and they keep a straight face!

[bybybill]

Nagin is living proof that the guy that wrote ,"The Peter Principle" was right.
Ready for the dirty little secret, the rat voters in LA. now live in 20 states and they aren`t coming home. Watch for some sort of way to let them vote.
They have to, cause if they can`t, Rats in LA. are doomed.

[RedCell]

Once again, the double-standard comes into play here. Actually, a double-double standard if you think about it.

Double-standard #1 - If this were a black republican mayor, he'd be asked for his resignation on the spot.

Double-standard #2 - If this were a white republican mayor, well you can just imagine what would happen. Imagine a white republican mayor saying this; “It’s time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a vanilla New Orleans.” “This city will be a majority white city. It’s the way God wants it to be. ”

Just ask Trent Lott.

But it's ok if you're a democrat that happens to be black (or a certain democratic senator from NY), I guess. A simple "oops, sorry" should make things all better.

It was reported the other day that there have been only four murders since the hurricane.

And 23 in Houston, with NOLAns as perps or victims.

[ThreePuttinDude]

bttt

[muir_redwoods]

"New Orleans mayor sorry about 'inappropriate' remarks"

So, will he resign his position like Trent Lott did?

[Personal Responsibility]

He's not sorry about the comments. He is sorry that his comments were reacted to negatively.

If everyone had agreed that his comments were well within line, he would not be sorry about them.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Blacks who elect blacks like this jerk, are their own worst enemy

If you listen to the original soundbite of his remarks, you can hear his audience whooping and cheering him.

[Fresh Wind]

Mayor Noggin is no different from mayor Street of Philthadelphia who announced "The brothers and sisters are running the city now". Both are crooks, both are incompetent, and both are racists.

[SkyPilot]

Douglas Brinkley, a MSNBC historian and from New Orleans, said last night that within the next few days, we're going to hear the real story about Nagin and the MANY 'breakdowns' he's had since Katrina.

Howlin,

Did Nagin have mental breakdowns, or is he doing drugs or something?

[primatreat]

Dark chocolate and white milk. He has been watching too much "Booty porno films"

[LibLieSlayer]

Nagin is a RACIST... Always has been... always will be. Apology makes no difference!

LLS

[Poundstone]

I think it's time to have a snap election for mayor, with only the current residents of New Orleans eligible to vote.

[OldFriend]

Best unintended consequence of this loon's comments is that nagin, albore,and her heinous all got the same treatment by the media.

The three of them all commented upon in the same stories by the MSM and cable stations.

[OldFriend]

Brinkley going to use the insanity defense for nagin.

Sorry, it's just not flying, IMO.

He's no different than he always was.......a racist to his core.

[kittymyrib]

C. Ray Nagin (now we know that the C stands for "Chocolate") is sorry someone was taping his speech. He used to be able to do his race baiting for the benefit of the brothas only.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

May God forgive you Nagin for the hypocrisy, racism, etc. that the MSM will NEVER point out.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Oh....ha ha ha ha ha haahahahahahahaaa.

[Unicorn]

Is he bring his family back from TX.?

[hershey]

CNN said 35% of those in NO now are Hispanic, compared to only 3% before Katrina. (A good many illegal, of course.) Nagin is worried.

[Drawsing]

Nagin: "I LIKE white people! Some of my best friends are honkeys and crackers!"

[freebird5850]

How would you expect welfare blacks to go somewhere to work? If it's not handed to them for free, they'll steal it.

[laotzu]

LOL! That's funny.

[SuziQ]

He didn't apologize for the 'chocolate city' remark, he apologized for invoking GOD in his statement.

What a maroon!

[SuziQ]

Heh, I was talking to my s-i-l from MS the other night and she said that the mayor was down in the French Quarter tying one on after they believed they'd dodged the bullet with Katrina. They had to track him down to tell him about the flooding from the levees. No wonder he sounded so stupid in the first press conferences about the flooding.

[SuziQ]

Blacks who elect blacks like this jerk, are their own worst enemy..

I heard he had more white votes than black.

[R.W.Ratikal]

Mayor Ray Nagin is an ignorant man. He is also a racists of the worst kind. But he does know that unless the voters of New Orleans are mostly black, he doesn't stand a chance of being reelected. Considering the scope of corruption in New Orleans and Louisiana, the stakes are high.

New Orleans has had an affirmative-action mayor for a long time. It's time for a change.

[Howlin]

Brinkly indicated it's mental.

[Howlin]

Brinkley going to use the insanity defense for nagin.

Believe me, Brinkley was NOT defending Nagin.

[river rat]

"I heard he had more white votes than black."

Blacks don't have a monopoly on stupidity...

Look at who the whites in Massatwoshits and Kalifornicate elect!

Don't put it past some whites to vote for a ignorant black politician too stupid or too weak to harm them, perhaps even be easier to DEFRAUD....and greedy enough to join them in their fraud and corruption...

We ARE talking about Louisiana and New Orleans.....
