If Mayor Ray Nagin is the best new Orleans has to offer then I really hate to see the rest. He was voted into office and his intelligence level scares me. He certainly didn’t take PR in school. At the city hall in New Orleans on MLK day he showed his intelligence level..

After stating that hurricane Katrina and Rita was a message sent from god he then turns around and insults himself as well as many other people. Not to mention our nation and everything we and Dr King worked for. He is an insult to his people as well as his race.

Nagin, who is African American, also promised that New Orleans will be a “chocolate” city again. Many of the city’s black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.

“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,” the mayor said. “This city will be a majority-African American city. It’s the way God wants it to be. You can’t have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn’t be New Orleans.”

I don’t even know what to say to this. Chocolate?????????? And this man is MAYOR? Their leader???????
Come on people the best thing you can do for yourselves and New Orleans is get this man out of office! He has done nothing but embarrass himself since Katrina hit. And to say that god wants it to be a majority african american city.. All i can do is shake my head and shake my head.. This man has no business speaking out on MLK day!

Nagin described an imaginary conversation with King, the late civil rights leader.

“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.”

Now the man is delusional.. Quick someone call the psych ward.. They’ve got a straight jacket that will fit him i’m sure.. How about we take care of community and not color. He really has no business being in office, or speaking on MLK day. Calling his people CHOCOLATE? And by his people I don’t mean black or white. I mean people in the city of New Orleans. Its sickening. He is preaching the opposite of what MLK worked for!
