you have got to be kidding me on this one - from cnn.com



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."

Nagin, first elected in 2002, was supposed to come up for re-election next month. However, state officials postponed the city election until April because of the disruptions caused by Katrina.

Even though it sounds like Nagin's snapped, this is still great shit.

As a citizen of a chocolate city, I support Ray Nagin's dream of rebuilding his chocolate city.

You highlighted the best quote. I think they should spin it into a new tourism slogan.

"Come to New Orleans. It's a delicious drink."

I think that Cory's point was that since Richard Pryor is, you know, DEAD, someone has to take his place. Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle seem viable.
