New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin is not only incompetent, and a finger-pointer, it turns out he's also a racist. Here are some comments he made during a MLK rally yesterday on the streets of New Orleans:
"It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. 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 it no other way."
Now I ask you: What would happen if a white mayor made comments like these, that the mayor wanted to rebuild a "white New Orleans"? Answer: All hell would break loose, with every black organization in the country screaming about the racism and calling for the mayor's head on a stick.
Yet guys like Nagin get away with this kind of thing without any problem.
Michelle Malkin is reporting that Anderson Cooper has scheduled interview after interview with Mayor Nagin, only to have him cancel at the last minute time and time again. In a video she is playing on her site, Cooper explains that the mayor again cancelled an interview at the last minute today, claiming "emergencies" had arisen that prevented his appearance. Cooper's correspondent in New Orleans reports that the mayor is, in fact, having dinner at a posh restaurant on Bourbon Street at that very moment. Nice to see he stands up for his beliefs.
