"Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world,whether they be red or yellow, black or white, they are precious in his site." Just the first thought that came to mind after hearing this thing.
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Mayor Ray Nagin on Tuesday apologized for urging residents to rebuild a "chocolate New Orleans" and saying, "You can't have New Orleans no other way."
"It was designed to talk to the African-American community for the most part, not only for here but throughout the country -- and to make sure that they understood that they were welcomed in this city," he said.
On Monday, Nagin said God wanted New Orleans to be predominantly black and said he didn't care what the predominantly white Uptown section of the city had to say about it.
"I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," he said. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."
After the statement, he insisted he wasn't being divisive.
"How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about," he said. "New Orleans was a chocolate city before Katrina. It is going to be a chocolate city after. How is that divisive? It is white and black working together, coming together and making something special."
I know you have more than enough on your plate. However, can you tell me what, if anything, has been said or done by City Council regarding the apparent policy violation by Tom Phillips. This pertains to the issue of governmental immunity in liability situations and Phillips' apparent violation of this policy when he forced payment in an automobile accident situation. Inquiring minds want to know.

If they are as pervasive as the message insists, why have I never heard of them?
Good job.

Dear Lord, spare us this evil again and again and again. Where do they come from? What bends a mind to this?
Brenda------They come from New Orleans. You remember...the honorable Ray Nagin saying that he wanted to make the city "a chocolate city".

But this is never called what it is...racism.

In the end it all comes to down to selling something - leave your name, we'll send you a catalog. I think that about wraps it up for white power.
