Mayor Nagin has finally lost his mind:

"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 uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," Nagin told the crowd.

The mayor went on to call for a majority African American city, just as before Katrina.

"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."

Nagin later elaborated on his comment when questioned by reporters. "I'm asking you, do you know anything about chocolate? How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink," Nagin said.

Is he trying to lose his job? Many people in New Orleans are disturbed by this- white and black. He can try to cover his tracks all he wants but this city has a history of racism on both sides. This is not the time for divisive comments. If you look at the people in political power in New Orleans you will notice they are overwhelmingly black. Some have a tendency to fire the white skinned people. If people are staying away because they are racists, then I don't think that hurts New Orleans as much as he thinks. He shouldn't care what color New Orleans turns out to be, as long as its full of people who cared enough to come back and rebuild.

Oh and then there's this:

''Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country.''

Surely huh? He's sounding a more little like Pat Robertson than I would ever be comfortable with. Maybe the stress of the hurricane aftermath, the rebuilding and his upcoming run for re-election has finally caused him to lose it completely. What a dumbass.
