More Naginisms

From AOL News via World Magazine Blog:

"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."

and

"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".

What an idiot, equating Katrina to Iraq and then calling for a segregated city. Unfortunately black-on-white racism is not considered the same as white-on-black, otherwise the MSM would have been all over this. Sadly, as long as Nagin is in charge of New Orleans I suspect they will not be able to rebuild much of anything.

Addendum: Some idiotscommenters over on the World Magazine Blog where I found this are trying to claim that Nagin meant "chocolate" to be a term for "harmoniously racially mixed". As the Colonel would say "Horse Feathers!". A quick Google search will show that "chocolate" means "black" when used in a racial manner. And if there is any doubt one only needs to read what Mayor Nagin said next:

"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."

You be the judge.

Reclama: Mayor Nagin apologizes for comments. My short summary of his "apology" is "I didn't think anyone was listening". Then he blames an un-named minister,

"...Nagin said his comments about God were inappropriate and stemmed from a private conversation he had with a minister...",

and his audience,

"... Nagin said, explaining he was caught up in the moment as he spoke to mostly black spectators..."

for causing his inappropriate comments. He may not be much of a politician, but he certainly has the pass-the-buck act down well.
