Wow.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Mayor Ray Nagin on Monday called for the rebuilding of a "chocolate New Orleans" that maintains the city's black majority, saying, "You can't have New Orleans no other way."

"I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," Nagin said in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."

As opposed to before, where it was chocolate-centered with an outer layer of vanilla?
No, I really don't know... but the media coevrage said the hard-hit city center was the blackest. Should that imply a white outer shell?

Wow...if that were a white saying "this city will be vanilla by the end of the day", doncha think a few more sources would pick it up? Another example of blatant racism...sadly exercised on MLK day.
