God Hates Black People

What else to divine from Ray Nagin's unhinged statement?

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."

I know I'm late to this. Still, as Karol and I discussed on the show yesterday, the dextrosphere condemned Pat Robertson's vengeful-God quote. Are the lefty blogs doing the same for Nagin's nonsense?

I haven't heard a peep from the Left regarding Nagin's ongoing oral diahrrea problem.

Could there be a little Cosby in there itching to get out? Let him rant.

The NAACP and the like also refused to comment on Hillary's dumb-ass "plantation" remark. Usually they would have jumped all in that. I love the way the keg-legged bitch said at the end, in her best soul sistah voice, "and you know what I'm talkin bout."

OK, so God is mad at us for our violence against each other. Fine.

But God is mad at us for "political infighting"? Since when is "political infighting" a sin? Is this Nagin's way of saying "God hates people who criticize me"? Or maybe it's his way of saying, "God hates black people who don't vote Democratic"?

my guess is that lefty blogs will handle it pretty much the same way CNN handled it this morning: heavy on the apologetics. The reporter added commentary along these lines to the anchor "Well, you know, this mayor has been through so much in the last few months..."

People should not be so arrogant as to speak for God. They're breaking the commandment about not taking God's name in vain.

Welp, judging from the Lott vs. Dodd remark flap, no. Nope, nada, ain't gonna happen. On to the next obvious MSM entries in the game of info politics.

"But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."

No fault of Ray's, of course...

If you look at the track record of recent natural disasters, God doesn't hate black people in particular--he just hates POOR people.

Nagin also thinks New Orleans should be a "chocolate city" again. Granting his premises, here's a not implausible synthesis:

If God had wanted a chocolate city, then he wouldn't have flooded out all of those "chocolate people".

Why would Nagin force God's hand again?...because...RAY NAGIN HATES BLACK PEOPLE!

Ray Nagin: God hates black people.
Kayne West: Bush hates black people.

Ergo, George W. Bush = God?

And you thought Dick Cheney's Cock, John Bolton's Mustache, and Karl Rove's Id had all the power.

God is punishing New Orleans for election such a idiot
