Ray Nagin in New Orleans Runoff Election
Mr. No-Whites-Allowed Might Make Mayor Again
Ray "Jerome Crow" Nagin
Let's cut to the chase here: Ray Nagin, major of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, has urged the rebuilding of a "chocolate New Orleans", saying that "You can't have New Orleans no other way."
After the recent mayoral vote in New Orleans, which included 22 candidates, Ray Nagin will be in a runoff election with current Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu.
Does anyone see a problem here?
Nagin did apologize for his remark about a "chocolate" New Orleans later on - I'll give him that. But so what?
If a white mayor of a destroyed city had ever dared to suggest "We need to rebuilt a white city; You can't have it any other way," his or her career would have been over. Instantly. No apologizing could possibly make up for it.
So I have to wonder - why is Mr. Nagin still in the business, let alone a serious contender for a position as mayor of a major city?
