"The black mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, one of the louder critics of the White House, on Monday lanced another racial theme, vowing to a crowd gathered at City Hall for a Martin Luther King Day march that New Orleans will be 'chocolate' again."
SourceQuote from the bottom of the page. A readers thought.
"Is that the most racist comments i have heard unanswered by a public figure.
WOW! how does this sound?
We ask (white) people ... Itīs time for us to come together. Itīs time for us to rebuild New Orleans the one that should be a (white) New Orleans," Nagin said Monday. "This city will be a majority Anglo American city. Itīs the way God wants it to be. You canīt have New Orleans no other way. It wouldnīt be New Orleans."
Things like this just make me wonder how it is that its not racist when someone in a such a high political office can make a statement like that and see no repercussions. Compared to Amherst Town Councilmen was made to make a public apology for making a racist comment toward Supervisor (at that time elsect) Satish B. Mohan.
