What New Orleans needs is a good old fashion Cat 5+ hurricane to completely remove the levies and return that mess to the ocean.
Its a freaken TAX money pit that the American people cannot afford to pay anymore. Sink the town an lets move on.. |

I asked for the 90% white support because of what I think is the driving force of politics--telling enough voters what they want to hear to get (re-)elected. Assuming that is true, Nagin is either (at least) honest about his motive as you say, or he is a stupid bigot. ...Stupid because there might not be enough blacks left to be swayed by his words so as to better ensure his chance of victory. If the reamining black population votes him out, then it would speak well of the city's...political consciencess. |
|

He is a fucktard. Racist bastard. It will be the government paying to rebuild and the Mexicans doing the rebuilding so that the welfare recipiants can get back to milking the system.

The 90% number is mis-leading, New Orleans obviously is majority black, a white canidate for mayor would not have a shot at getting elected. The same situation exists in Birmingham, so white voters will choose which black canidate they think is best. If the population were majority white, Mayor nagan would have never been elected. I don't know what the current population breakdown of New Orleans is , but it may likely be majority white, and nagan knows if blacks don't move back to the city, he is out of office. He knows the ones that left won't vote absentee, because its to much trouble. The whole social/political landscape of New Orleans has changed big time. A white mayor will likely be elected, just sit back and watch the storm that happens afterwards.

Does anyone know the racial makeup of New Orleans now, I'm talking actual residents living in the city, not evacuees living elsewhere, I'm guessing it is now majority white, but tht is just a guess, and would explain the mayor appealing to blacks to return, besides the fact that he is a blatent racist.

Pre-K 67% Black(or Chocolate) per Nagyst 30% White 3% hispanic and Asian After K 30% Chocolate 48% white 20% Hispanic 2% asian--Vietnamize--some of the most civil, hard working, kind people PS When a large convention or mardi Gras--50% white |

Hey...he appologized for his "chocolate city" remark...
All over the news... Lot of good that does...probably as hollow as a chocolate easter bunny... |
|
LOL, Is NOLA having mayoral elections in Feb? It seems like I have heard that. If they end up with a white mayor, I can only imagine what will be said, it will be a lot of fun to watch, thats for sure! I'm not hoping for a riot, or violence, if that happens, I hope it is squashed quickly.
|
|
He also said that it was God's will that New Orleans be a black city. Notice no one is mentioning that comment even though he said it virtually in the same breath as the "chocolate" comment.
|
|
He did say it was Gods will that NO be a black city, that has been overlooked, and is just as bad as the chocolate comment, he showed his true colors, thats for sure, as if there was ever a doubt. I just did a search on their elections, and they have been postponed indefinitely by gov blank-o', there is a lawsuit challenging the postponement. I found this on the democratic underground, I have heard of that site, but never checked it out, DAMN their are some whack-jobs on that site. I don't condone trolling, but what the hell, I'm going to entertain myself, and stir em' up.

No no no; with my limited experience in New Orleans, if you got an Oreo it meant somebody was being mugged. |

Yup, pretty handy how the other disgraced LA politician is giving him extra time to get his core voters back into the city before he has to face re-election, huh?
I'm SURE that wasn't intentional political hanky-panky though. The Dems NEVER try to rig elections... What exactly did Trent Lott do anyway? Didn't he reminisce about the good old days with a retired senator and had it taken completely out of context? |
|
Trent Lott said that the country would have been better off if Strom Thurmond would have been elected President years ago, Strom had segregation as part of his platform, it was a long time ago. Trent Lott wasn't refering to the segregation part. He was simply saying that we would have been better off with a man such as Strom. correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that was it.
|
|
Dude, did you not read anything of the original post? What the hell are you talking about? My whole point to the post was that I WOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR THE MAN IF HE STOOD BY HIS RACIST VIEWS. He's doing a "duck and cover" maneuver with his backtracking, that is what makes him a supreme racist pussy, rather than just a supreme racist. Read my original post before giving your thoughts on us "respecting a liar". WTF??? |
|
|
Nope, that was pretty much it. No chocolate or vanilla remarks from Lott. |
|
|
As I recall Trent Lott stood by his statements, he didn't crawfish, he said that America would be better off had we elected someone with Strom Thurmond's priniples and values, he took the fallout like a man also, its ashame that he would get so much flack for that simple comment, and yet nagan can basically get away with his comments, nagan's comments were plainly racist, and no amount of crawfishing can change that. Trent Lott should have known how his comments would have been spun, the democratic party is 100% against him, and waiting to spin anything he says, into somthing he didn't mean, and race is their holy grail,its their trump card, and they are the only ones that get to play it.

You guys crack me up. It sounds like you're saying white people are oppressed because they can't act like shit heads, and other races can. Have a little faith. Most people realized how stupid Nagin's comment was.

This clown RAY is the biggest idiot I have ever seen. Yes this is a double standard and yes if a white leader or political figure were to say such remarks, would be forced to resign. This guy has absolutely no class whatsoever. The fact remains that many blacks in NO were living in terrible conditions before Katrina. I personally believe that Katrina will enable many families to have a new foundation, with government assistance. The whites in NO should leave, I wouldn't blame them... its hard to live under such an idiotic mayor. As for blaming bush, as much as I don't agree with what he is doing in certain aspects, it's not his fault in anyway. Same thing happened with Bush's daddy in Miami in 92. Oh well, one day in America the race card will not be drawn, a long long way from now...

I don't agree with anybody, or any race, being racist, what has been said, is that white leaders, ie..Trent Lott, can say somthing, that was never meant as a racial comment, and then have that comment spun into a racist remark, people were calling for his head on a platter, and it did his politacal career terrible damage. mayor nagan, said a blatently racist remark, and the backlash, hasn't even been close to that of Trent Lott's.

that moron is in WAY over his head.............and it shows
Just imagine plugging in the word "white" where dip-shit used "black", or "chocolate", and you have an idea of how out of line this idiot is. |
|
Back to the title of the thread........
Gee, you think ? how could ya tell ? |
|
You mean like this: [original quote, followed by altered quote] "I can see in your eyes, you want to know, 'How do I take advantage of this incredible opportunity? How do I make sure New Orleans is not overrun with Mexican workers?'" "I can see in your eyes, you want to know, 'How do I take advantage of this incredible opportunity? How do I make sure Vidor, Texas is not overrun with black workers?'" "I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," he said. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be." "I don't care what people are saying in the projects or wherever they are. This city will be white at the end of the day," he said. "This city will be a majority white city. It's the way God wants it to be." "Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country....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." "Surely God is mad at Israel. He gave Ariel Sharon a stroke." (Pat Robertson caught more flack for saying [essentially] this than Nagin's caught for what he said) "I'm really sorry that some people took that they way they did, and that was not my intention," the mayor said. "I say everybody's welcome." "I'm really sorry that blacks took that they way they did, and that was not my intention," the mayor said. "I say everybody's welcome." |

Exactly!! You see how insane this is. why is this man allowed to stay in office? If this were Trent Lott, Dennis Hassert, or Bill Frist (which it would not ever be), these men would be sent to leper colonies to live out their final days!! Seriously, this idiot is in WAY over his head. |

Can't we just all get along. You people just can't stand a powerful black man.
|

It's okay, I'm defending the oppressed black man. |

"You people," by Ross Perot: Bad, racist, sets progress back at least 150 years "You people," by gopeterson, on behalf of Nagin's "Chocolate Brigade": Ay-Oh-Kay |

gopeterson.... your an idiot. Powerful black man, man this is plain stupid. Its not even about being black, he is just an idiot.

Not certain, but I think he may have been joking. That's how I took him, at least. |

I'm sorry you're not bright enough to discern that I was joking. |
