dilloduck said:Why rebuild a city that is going to discriminate against races? I realize Nagin is a loose cannon and was just doing his black-to black jive but if he is trying to ask the rest of the country for help, he might consider lying about his motives.

Abbey Normal said:My guess is that after what we saw and heard was going on in New Orleans after Katrina, tourism will take many years to recover, if ever. Nagin's comment may just reinforce the fears people will have when imagining visiting the city. Of course, Nagin's primary interest is in his own political future, and he probably needs large numbers of blacks to move back in order to be re-elected.
Please. The mayor (and any other politician in this country) serves those who will keep him in office.sitarro said:That is true, he does want to be Mayor for another term. I was always under the impression that the Mayor was suppose to serve all of the people in their city not just the chocolates.

When a Black racist Mayor says it, only Drudge carries the news.

musicman said:New Orleans is proof that the people get the government they deserve.
Powerman said:Certainly. It's dereliction of citizenship if you will.
musicman said:Well said. It is the people themselves who voted in a government whose sole skill - it is now apparent - was the ability to secure and distribute welfare checks.
Powerman said:I must say before this gets too out of hand that Nagin was actually doing a pretty good job in New Orleans pre-Katrina. I think he has just lost it now however. He was cleaning up a lot of the corruption that was going on in N.O. under Mayor Moreal. He was certainly an upgrade but he just collapsed under the pressure when the hurricane came.
musicman said:He was treating symptoms of systemic rot, then. Perhaps, as you say, an upgrade - but what he, the city, and state governments collapsed under was the unsustainable weight of the entitlement mentality. That's a pretty fundamentally flawed state of affairs, and I don't know that one can get "too out of hand" in pointing out, squarely facing, and fixing something that screwed-up.
