Nagin Suspects a Plot To Keep Blacks Away |
This is why most sane people don't take anything these so-called 'black
leaders' say too seriously.

New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin has suggested that the slow recovery and
rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina -- which has prevented
many black former residents from returning -- is part of a plan to change
the racial makeup and political leadership of his and other cities.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what happened in New Orleans could happen anywhere,"
Nagin said at a dinner sponsored by the National Newspaper Publishers
Association, a trade group for newspapers that target black readers. "They
are studying this model of natural disasters, dispersing the community and
changing the electoral process in that community."
Nagin's remarks Thursday night recalled the controversy stirred up by his
prediction in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in 2006 that, despite the
evacuation of thousands of black people in the wake of Katrina, New Orleans
would once again become a "chocolate city." The mayor later apologized for
the comment, which had infuriated many whites and African Americans.
Nagin, who won reelection last May over Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, referred
obliquely to the "chocolate city" comment at the dinner and suggested that
his assertion that New Orleans would once again be a majority-black city had
made him a political target.
"Everybody in America started to wake up and say: 'Wait a minute. What is he
doing? What is he saying? We have to make sure that this man doesn't go any
further,' " Nagin told a room full of black newspaper publishers and editors
at the Capital Hilton.
Referring to Landrieu, who is white, as "the golden boy," Nagin suggested
his chance at reelection in the mayoral race had seemed slim because "they
dispersed all of our people across 44 states with one-way tickets."
"They thought they were talking about a different kind of New Orleans,"
Nagin said. "They didn't realize that folks were awake, that they were
paying attention."

Yes, we should rather trust white leaders like Ted Haggard, Jerry
Falwell and Pat Robertson instead... not to forget Ann Coulter...
