Thirtysomething

Right....

So I'm sure it was official way before this, but now it's really official. Mayor Ray Nagin is crazy. He wants to make New Orleans a "chocolate" city, because that's the way "God wants it." And then there was a whole tirade about the hurricanes being sent by God because he's mad at America for going to war in Iraq.

Holy crap, Nagin, get yourself together. You can't just going around saying stuff like that. Can you imagine what would happen if NYC's mayor Michael Bloomberg said that he wanted to make New York a "vanilla" city? The city would be burned down along with Mayor Bloomberg at the center of it, tied to a stake. That's what would happen. That's right, I'm saying it. If a white man made similar comments, it would be front page news for days. But today, it's a 2 minute blip on CNN. People should be outraged that Nagin made such comments, but in the end, it'll be glossed over, frankly, because he's a black man.

Nagin did try to put a different spin on it when questioned. He explained that you make chocolate by taking white milk and mixing it with dark chocolate and it makes "a delicious drink." WHATEVER, DUDE. That's chocolate milk, you idiot. We know what you meant by "chocolate" and, even if you did mean a mix of black and white, that's not exactly diverse, is it?

He'll probably get re-elected.
