"God is Mad at America" says New Orleans Major

did you guys hear what mayor Nagin of New Orleans said about the hurricanes? that god was mad at mankind and that soon new orleans will be a chocolate city again? has he completely lost it?

according to jon stewart's analysis, god doesn't hate gay people, he hates the gay adjacent

New Orleans never was a chocolate city...it was a booze and barf city. Oh..and let's not forget public urinating and sex...that's always fun.

Silly Mayor...all that dirty water got to his head.

Chocolate...mmmm pretty bad.....Everyone should just move away from there anyway.

News Article From The Associated Press:

NEW ORLEANS (Jan. 17) - Mayor Ray Nagin suggested Monday that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other storms were a sign that "God is mad at America" and at black communities, too, for tearing themselves apart with violence and political infighting.

"Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country," Nagin, who is black, said as he and other city leaders marked Martin Luther King Day.

"Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."

Nagin also promised that New Orleans will be a "chocolate" city again. Many of the city's black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.

"It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans - the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," the mayor said. "This city will be a majority African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans."

Nagin described an imaginary conversation with King, the late civil rights leader.

"I said, `What is it going to take for us to move on and live your dream and make it a reality?' He said, `I don't think that we need to pay attention any more as much about other folks and racists on the other side.' He said, `The thing we need to focus on as a community - black folks I'm talking about - is ourselves.'"

Nagin said he also asked: "Why is black-on-black crime such an issue? Why do our young men hate each other so much that they look their brother in the face and they will take a gun and kill him in cold blood?"

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin isn't the only one who thinks hurricanes come from God's wrath. In 1998, evangelist Pat Robertson warned that a gay pride event in Orlando could invite them to hit Florida.

Nagin said he also asked: "Why is black-on-black crime such an issue? Why do our young men hate each other so much that they look their brother in the face and they will take a gun and kill him in cold blood?"

The reply, Nagin said, was: "We as a people need to fix ourselves first."

Nagin also said King would have been dismayed with black leaders who are "most of the time tearing each other down publicly for the delight of many."

A day earlier, gunfire erupted at a parade to commemorate King's birthday. Three people were wounded in the daylight shooting amid a throng of mostly black spectators, but police said there were no immediate suspects or witnesses.

Any thought and/or comments? 😕

what harm can come from abiding by his words?
our troops come home safe, and the lower income black community is united and progressive.

so as ridiculous as his logic is....i dont see it as dangerous in the least, in fact possibly very helpful

:edit: im just referring to the particular quotes in the article. i dont know enough about this guy or his history of rhetoric to have an opinion of him.

*points like a religious fundamentalist at an abortion clinic*

SINNERZ!

What about whipped cream or sprinkles on top of the chocolate? Do they at least have that option?

He was mad at Florida last year...I think he just doesn't like the coast...

I know , why not point to 'god' every time a major natural disaster happens ... oh yeah let's blame a being which we have no actual proof of existing and only a ???00000 year old book which speaks of him .

We had the ****ign signs , if people are to stupid/to greedy or just can't be bothered to leave their property or give aid or even WARN people then it's their own damn fault.....

Natural disasters have been occurring on this planet for 5 billion years. They're so catastrophic now because of the human element. When we weren't here, it didn't matter.

Yeah, America is God's playing ground and he doesn't like coloured people.

God must have been really pissed at the folks he hit with the Tsunami last year. Compared to that, he must have been only slightly miffed by the US.

It would have been easy for you to evacuate. You're not black, you can walk, you have a car, you don't have a family of 8 that need you, you're not homeless and/or living on pennies, you're not addicted to smack, and you have 24/7 access to the weather channel.

Unfortunately it seems many people can't look at things from a perspective that is outside their own lives.
