More “Divine” Idiocy

January 16th, 2006

Pat Robertson must be on vacation this week. Guess who’s wrongly invoking the name of God this time?

“Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it’s destroyed and put stress on this country,” [New Orleans Mayor Ray] Nagin, who is black, said as he and other city leaders marked Martin Luther King Day.

“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.”

Nagin also promised that New Orleans will be a “chocolate” city again. Many of the city’s black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.

“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,” the mayor said. “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.”

Could you imagine the outrage if a white politician had made a similar statement? Expect the left to remain quiet on this one.

What Nagin really wants is to retain political power. Without a black majority, he’ll get voted out of office (and soon, God willing).

New Orleans residents need to purge the corrupt political system that has contributed to the post-hurricane problems there. I wouldn’t say that the city is “chocolate”, but a darker shade of brown from the BS that flows from city hall.

Update: Nagin offers an apology of sorts. Apparently, he meant to say that the Big Easy would be a “Nesquik” city when all’s said and done… (via Michelle Malkin)

    I watched part of this speech and couldn’t believe my ears. There are so many things wrong with it that I don’t even know where to begin. Most depressing of all is that I think you’re right about Nagin wanting to retain political power hence the speech, and if Barry could get re-elected in DC I wouldn’t bet against Nagin in New Orleans.
