Have you noticed that the person who speaks up quickly and loudly about another person's behavior is often guilty of behavior that's just as offensive? Sometimes even the very behavior they're railing against? By now, you've heard the unbelievably racist comments made on MLK day by New Orleans Mayor Ray 'Chocolate' Nagin... A recap of a couple, in case you missed out:
"We ask black people ... 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. "And I don't care what people are saying in Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day."
"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."
"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 very well remember Nagin screaming something about racism and the slow response to Hurricane Katrina by the Federal government... Now we all can see who is racist. I also enjoyed his comments on God being angry at America- sending us "hurricane after hurricane." Hey Nagin- it's called the weather; please note also that America's greedy, horrible pharmaceutical companies have done wonders with anti-psychotic medications these days! Call your doctor and ask about a prescription.
