Nagin's 'chocolate' remark worth a couple Snickers 2 Years, 10 Months ago Karma: 0  
From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Jan. 19, 2006
By now, you've probably heard or seen a tape of New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's idiotic comments about God wanting the Big Easy to be a "chocolate city."
Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray. At least he figured out he needed to apologize.

Nagin's 'chocolate' remark is racist. When are blacks going to be called for making racist comments?

But aren't redneck jokes about themselves? It's like the blonds telling "blond jokes."

African Americans will call themselves "black" but if a white person says that - OH BOY! He's racist.

IN MY OPINION, it's a double standard.

What are you talking about? Nagin is black. The comments he made while not in very good taste mind you, were about a city that was mostly black. Actually I find the phrase African American is less than PC, I'm just an American like everyone else.

But he was saying that it should be a black city. (that's the analysis I heard.) Great, kick out all the white people. Sure it is mostly black but other people have a right to live there too. I want to comment about the mayor and the job he's doing, but I'd better not.

I hate the term "African American" also but I'm afraid of a backlash if I use any other term since I'm white. American is good.
