MLK Day
Today should be a day when people remember that America was a racially divided country. We should strive to a society where everyone is on a level playing field, where no one has an advantage based on race. Where it shouldn't matter whether one is white, black, or whatever.
Yet today I came across this on the internet:
If New Orleans is primarily black because it just works out that way, it is fine with me, but please New Orleans, elect a new mayor ASAP.
Yet today I came across this on the internet:
Mayor Ray Nagin told a crowd gathered at City Hall on Monday for a march honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that New Orleans will be "chocolate" again.
and this . . .
The mayor of New Orleans is predicting that his city will once again be ''a majority African-American city. In a Martin Luther King Day speech to a crowd at City Hall, Mayor Ray Nagin said, "It's the way God wants it to be." He says you can't have New Orleans any other way.
If New Orleans is primarily black because it just works out that way, it is fine with me, but please New Orleans, elect a new mayor ASAP.
Yeah, that was a "not good" day for New Orleans. I put my spin on it in a blog titled, Chocolate New Orleans.
I agree with your thought. No matter what else, New Orleans needs a new mayor.
BTW, calling my blog random thoughts was a random thought. I did a search on "random thoughts" and it appears a whole bunch of people randomly had the same thought (or had the same random thought?). ;-)
