On MLK day 2006 the mayor of New Orleans said one of the most ridiculosly stupid and racist things I've heard in 20 years.
Granted, I love New Orleans and have all the hope in the world for the place. Regardless, what was he thinking:
“It’s time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans,” he 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.”
Here's more on it. He blames God and our occupation of Iraq for the hurricane:

What upset you? The fact that he may have a point?... Face facts, America is STILL one of the most racists countries in the world! How far have you come? How much has change?
He's mad and angry but wouldn't you be if watched your town sink into the depths of hell and your president just stands by!!! would that shit gone down in the Hamptons? Okay there is also the matter of wealth as well but black people in the states will always feel like second class people unless their winning your football, basketball and making that music everbody loves so much then their OKAY!!!
I read the report and I think he
right we to take care of our own first, because this black on black shits gotta stop... I know I've seen that shit here in london.We need to educate our boys to stop this thug shit, and find props in knowledge, then move forwards... we need GREAT minds not rappers or footballers!
I have a 11 mnth old boy and he is of mixed parentage. Me and his mum who is white want raise him with knowledge that he is blessed to such a big and diverse family people who love him for him but I want to know
white history is no more important black history...A storm IS coming...

what he meant by the chocolate comment:
Pressed later to explain his comments, Nagin, who is black, told CNN affiliate WDSU-TV that he was referring to creation of a racially diverse city in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, insisting that his remarks were not divisive.
"How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about," he said.
"New Orleans was a chocolate city before Katrina. It is going to be a chocolate city after. How is that divisive? It is white and black working together, coming together and making something special."

He should have been more specific and defined 'Milk Chocolate' - the EU would not tolerate this, the belgians especially, they would raise hell and demand proof of percentages of milk vs chocolate.

speaking of chocolate city, I worked with a guy who supplied mushrooms to george clinton backstage in '97. he had a small bag around his neck filled with crack rocks that he would dole out to other members of the band. the guy I worked with was a bit of a dick. he and another kid had been dosed with acid when he was 10 by a female art teacher.

Yes, that's it!! radar!
God hates us for that, hahahha ohh dear...

that's bullshit. if he meant 'chocolate' as white and black working together why didn't he just say 'new orleans will come together and whites and blacks will rebuild this city as one'. why beat around the bush with a stupid analogy that no one gets.
if you ask me, it's reverse racism and frankly i'm quite sick of it.

Look, New Orleans IS a black city. And I don't mean that racially, I mean it culturally. New Orleans was the ONLY place in the United States before the Civil War that blacks had any sort of power..heck a voodoo priestess ran the city unofficially for many years.
The debt this country owes culturally to New Orleans is immense. New Orleans is the US version of Bahia in Brazil - one of the only sort of free black cities in an otherwise slave country.
I want New Orleans back and I want it chocalate, and if you think that was "racial" how about continuing with the plan and just raze the city to the ground and build gated communities and Walmarts?
Read a book for crying out loud...
