Mayor Nagin's New Orleans Chocolate Factory Explained...

Posted by Randy on January 17, 2006 04:13 PM

First of all, thanks to The Political Teen for using my photoshop and linking to me, in addition to a couple others I've seen out there. The image is from my original post on the Nagin "Chocolate" city comments. Read up about the situation there.

First of all, as predicted, the misleadstream media largely gave him a pass on his "God" brought the hurricanes against New Orleans's black people, and that they'll rebuild the city a "chocolate" (read: black) city. Only a few reporters pursued it, compared to the week long "scandal" that was created over Pat Robertson's remarks that paled in comparison to the outrageous way Nagin invoked the will of God, plus Nagin through in a racial component.

Again I have to ask what would have happened if this were some white Republican mayor in a white city calling to rebuild it as a "Vanilla" city?

Now, assuming you're up to date... Let's see what Nagin has to say now. The Political Teen has the video, and you can also find it here via WSDU.com.

Basically the reporter asks for clarification on just the chocolate comments. And Nagin's response would be hilarious if the media hypocrisy surrounding this wasn't so serious. Nagin makes the worst attempt to spin, with no way to backtrack on those comments (transcript also via The Political Teen):

MAYOR RAY NAGIN: Do you know anything about chocolate?

REPORTER: I’m asking you.

NAGIN: I’m asking you.

NAGIN: Do you know anything chocolate? How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That’s the chocolate I’m talking about.

He rambles on a bit more trying to say that "chocolate" means "white and black" working together and "diversity", etc. I don't even think the most dishonest and/or stupid of liberals could possibly buy that. I wouldn't be shocked that some nutty lefties would defend his initial statements, but I don't think that anyone could say that "chocolate" is a statement of "diversity" and "white and black" working together.

He did apologize for the God comments today, but it wasn't like they were a slip or something that we should just let slide with a simple, "I'm sorry" from Nagin. They were a calculated series of comments in which he spoke of God's will, as it pertained to Katrina and black people.


Mayor "Buses" Nagin: ...That is why Nesquik will be the official sponsor of New Orleans.
President Bush: And they call me stupid?! Seriously, who is this guy?

The thing is... Didn't Mayor Nagin make the key move in endorsing Bobby Jindal for Governor?

That was a crucial endorsement, in what was a tight race. It wasn't enough to push [now-Congressman] Jindal over the top.

But it could have been.

Ever the one to heed the call to arms, Elgin and I have responded to La Shawn’s exhortation to treat Ray Nagin with the same respect that many on the blogosphere used to treat Pat Robinson and other “radical” clerics who called the devastation of the Third Coast by Hurricane Katrina the “wrath of God”. Please go to elgintyrell.com to view our photorial on the subject.

Nah man, those Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Ones are great... there are a bunch floating around out there and they're awesome... but I went my own way with it and wouldn't want to bite anyone else's idea.
