Video: Nagin’s Chocolate Reign hits a snag

The caption on YouTube says it all:

Remember when Dem. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said New Orleans should be a Chocolate City? Apparently New Orleans Parish prosecutor Eddie Jordan feels the same way. Today his case failed on appeal as the civil rights violation verdict stands. Jordan fired 53 of 77 employees. Of the fired, 42 were white, 1 was Hispanic. They were all replaced by blacks.

Nagin’s New Orleans: bus-ted once again.

Bad neighborhoods and common sense are the same now as then. Blacks still have a much better chance of going into a predominantly white neighborhood and being stopped by police for no reason at all.

Being stopped by the police for possible criminal activity is a lot different than being robbed, beaten, murdered. Basically NO COMPARISON!

If a person can’t speak articulately without “back talking” they don’t have a whole lot of smarts anyway. Cite your statistics about the lawsuits, I don’t believe it is an epidemic as you imply.

Where might one find supposed statistics on backtalking? GOOD GOD MAN is that all you can respond with?

(Again cite some facts, not rhetoric)

Once again demanding facts where no facts can be obtained

The truth was that blacks weren’t allowed in the restaurants in the first place. The lousy service we run into is just a reflection of the bad manners society and parents allow. Race rarely is the reason.

As usual making excuses for racism as bad manners. I have worked in grocery stores and there is a big difference in the way blacks treat fellow blacks and the way they treat whites at the cash register same thing goes for fast food joints. It’s racism my friend. Obviously you live in Iowa or some small town and believe what you see on the nightly news.

Ah yes the good ol days when death and beatings were administered with the approval of the local authorities. And you cry because you get slapped around if you are ignorant enough to use an offensive slur. Cite your statistics about lawsuits.

I’m sorry but I don’t get slapped around! Once again demanding statistics that don’t exist! Beatings and death alot of the time were administered because the person being beat did something wrong like rape, beat or kill a white person. That doesn’t go on much nowadays unless your non-black walking through or broke down in a major inner city.

Empty bitter rhetoric. Back it up with facts

Once again demanding facts that can’t be obtained in any database but in fact if you did work for a major corporation which you probably don’t all you would have to do is open your eyes, take your blinders off and go to work each day and you wouldn’t need any statistics to understand the problem today with white employment and promotions in government and corporate america.

Duh! Most major metro areas have a significantly large number of blacks out of the total population. What is wrong with electing representation from within their community?)

What is wrong with it? Just try living in one of those areas and you will soon see what’s wrong with it. Oops sorry I didn’t bring my statistics. Darn

Don’t watch television. See that is easy.

Oh that’s a good idea. And I also don’t let my kids watch it either because it is so full of stupid bad white man and smart caring___________ fill in the blank with any minority or female! That’s the only smartand true thing you have said so far! Ding Ding Ding attaboy!!!!!

Statistics and proof??

Once again demanding statistics and proof of bias in news reporting of black crime. I guess you don’t watch or listen carefully to the nightly news when they give a suspects description. You’re probably too busy covering your ears hoping it’s a white person commiting all the crimes and filling up our prisons.

Wrong opinion at work. Hmm thought we were supposed to work, not preach or politicize. Dumb on your part if you don’t see the difference. As for the music, how about the “adorable” Aryan twins who sing some heart-warming songs about the evil blacks – aren’t you going to mention them?

Who the hell are the Aryan Twins? I’ve never heard of them and most of America either and I certainly haven’t seen them on a McDonalds commercial or a Ford commercial like you do with all these gangsta rappers.

Spellcheck helps avoid that appearance you know

I’m not writing a thesis here it’s a blog for god’s sake. I could give a rats ass about proper spelling and english here. If it makes you feel intelligamate to find one word out of all my sentences spelled incorrectly then once again I’ll give you an Attaboy!!!!!! Damn you are smart even if you say so yourself.

What’s terrible is that half truths and outright fibs are used to perpetuate an idea that somehow whites are being held down in ways that blacks used to be (and arguably still are). Your type of rant is what you find in literature of hate groups who want to recruit more haters to their twisted cause. Completely void of statistics and proof, it is nothing more than innuendo and anger used to justify one’s hatred of another race.

I never said I hated anyone or claimed to be a racist I’m just saying what I have observed in my lifetime on this earth. You are the one who speaks of hate and namecalling with your twisted version of the truth that many people are starting to talk about. Political correctness has just about run it’s course and people are starting to get sick of it, people like you hopefully one day won’t be able to stare reality in the face and deny,deny deny. And as usual with your type when you don’t have any real argument except ” where’s the statistics” they usually resort to name calling like you are doing. You must live in a fantasy land or have your head so far imbedded that you don’t see the light. You are an excuse maker for them as alot of others are. Why is it that every other race in this country doesn’t have the same problems with working hard providing for family and obeying the law. Look at Africa it is the only country in the world that can’t get their act together! I wonder why that is? Oh I know it must be white man’s fault!

Thanks for acknowledging that all of your complaining was just that – whiny little complaints that are your opinion nothing more and nothing less. Because a faceless, nameless person on the internet says so I’m supposed to curl up in the fetal position and agree with everything you say?? LOL
As I said, it is not a matter of whether I am smart or not, rather it is a matter of you wanting to have something to be angry about even though you only base it on your (get Dr Phil) feeling.

Beatings and death alot of the time were administered because the person being beat did something wrong like rape, beat or kill a white person.

If you truly believe that statement you are delusional. They deserved it???????????? All one had to do was to look at a white person the wrong way and a beating could ensue.

Who are the Aryan twins? They were in the news, even Fox and CNN. Just goes to show that you only care about racism if you think it is directed at you and care not one whit if it is directed at others.

I never said I hated anyone or claimed to be a racist I’m just saying what I have observed in my lifetime on this earth. You are the one who speaks of hate and namecalling with your twisted version of the truth that many people are starting to talk about.

And I said simply that type of rhetoric is what the hatemongers use to draw people into their groups. You may not be racist.. but you sure help their cause by spewing out how you are a victim and it’s not fair.

Don’t like the picture staring back at you? Unfog the mirror. Your refusal to try to back up things with at least some credible evidence tends to indicate that you are perfectly happy being angry rather it is merited or not.
