Mark’s Soap Box

Mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin said that God is mad at America. Intimating that the storms that have hit the U.S.A. are God’s way of getting our attention.

“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.

O.K. I have no problem with this thinking. Surely God does use natural events to remind us of how small we really are in the scheme of things. What annoys me is that none of the liberal idiots in the press have called him any of the names they called Pat Robertson for saying essentially the same thing. Interesting bit of racism going on there.

Just when I think he is ‘getting it’, he goes off the deep end and says things like this:

“Surely he doesn’t approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses.”

What and idiot. Then he makes an intelligent comment.

“…But surely he is upset at black America also. We’re not taking care of ourselves.”

If a White Man said that it would be racism. Ridiculous.

Then he goes off the deep end again.

Nagin also promised that New Orleans will be a “chocolate” city again.

Where is the outcry of racism? Can you imagine the cacophonous outcry if a White Mayor said that the South was going to be Vanilla again? Oh I forgot, Blacks don’t have to play by the same rules as everyone else.

Nagin then went on to … well I don’t know how to describe it.

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?”

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

He is correct on that issue. Clearly the Black community has issues that are not being addressed by the Black so-called leadership or the Black community as a whole. Is it really necessary to make a joke of it by couching it in a psychotic moment? Does he really think that this lends weight to his ideas?

And where is the mocking stories from the media? Why are only Whites, and Christians attacked? Could it be their is a bias in the media? Of course there is, and every time they don’t act in an equitable manner they prove it to be so.

This is almost as stupid as the Brit politician going on “Big Brother” and acting like a cat.
