That man is an embarrassment to the people of New Orleans and to our nation as a whole. It becomes clear why things didn't go very smoothly once one hears how ridiculous and out of control Nagin is. An elected official who represents the people should have a little more tact...

I thought it was appauling. If a white person said I am going to make New Orleans a white chochlate town then you will have people around the national condemning him. I am from Houston so you really do not get what he really says Nationaly. He targered Hispanics also by saying we want to make sure we do not have anybody that does not look like us. I am tired to seeing the double standards around the nation. I am Asian and I just hate it how one race can get away being racism and another is condemned. ALl should be condemned.
Going back to Nagin even some black leaders are outrage against his remarks. If I was white I would be piss at him. Nagin had to have white support to win the election. he couldn;t just rely on the white vote and that is fact.

I was born and raised in N.O., moved from Katrina too. I don’t care what Nagin says, not many who have gone back home do. They are more worried about rebuilding their houses and getting their businesses back up and running. They are worried about next storm season because the levees aren’t built up to hold back the surges from a mere category 1 hurricane.
The chocolate factory thing is looked upon as a joke, my mom has a t-shirt making fun of his comment. If anything Katrina helped a lot of the poor black community out of the rut they were in, in New Orleans. Churches and amazing people came together and helped families white and black to jobs and homes. To bring theese people back to the way they used to live would make thier situations worse.
New Orleans needs time to get itself back on its feet. It will never be the same it was before but maybe that was the blessing in disguise.

Actually, I thought, at first, he was the only person who motivated people to get something done in Katrina, and then, he moves his family to Texas, it is shown he didn't get the school buses out - he had just as much fault (if that's the right word) in the Katrina disaster than anyone else in the top 5 - I, frankly, could care less... the governor, and Mr. Nagin -- well, Katrina just proved that politicians are politicians - anything for the majority of the vote - but weigh the "odds" if it is unfavorable.
They both took their chances, and look at the result.
I am amazed that anyone is still in office in that state.

It is true that the government response was bad. I can understand why he is upset. I don't think his charges of racism have much weight though. There are a lot of white people in New Orleans too.

Who cares? There's more important things than what somebody said about "a hole in the ground."
