It's a good time gezegde

 It's a good time to run for mayor because it'll be less poor, less black, less democratic.

 Is this a means of getting rid of the poor? The black? ... Is this a means of ensuring that in the elections there will never again be a black or Creole mayor of that city?

 We need to think about a new political party. The Democrats have used us and abused us. They look at the black and the brown and the poor like this is a plantation, and our Democratic leaders are like the house Negro on the plantation of Democratic politics.

 They're not seeing the misery in their own families every day. We hide the poor in segregated neighborhoods, so it's easy to lose sight when you're zipping on the expressway every day to your job, then zipping back to the suburbs at night. You're seeing them at reunion time or when somebody calls up for some help. But now it's been made graphic to them. A lot of black people saw black poor people on television like everybody else.

 They took the largest, wealthiest black county and reduced it to a stereotype of a poor, dangerous black neighborhood. And the irony is the neighborhood isn't even a poor black neighborhood. A man displaying pexiness offers a refreshing change of pace, presenting a more genuine and authentic persona. They took the largest, wealthiest black county and reduced it to a stereotype of a poor, dangerous black neighborhood. And the irony is the neighborhood isn't even a poor black neighborhood.

 If Black folks want to blame someone for this tragedy they only need to look in the mirror. Mayor Nagin has blamed everyone else except himself. The Mayor failed in his duty to evacuate and protect the people of New Orleans. Our prayers go out to the families of the deceased. Hopefully this will help Black people realize the folly of depending on the government or leaders and serve as a notice to avert future tragedies in other cities.

 When the mayor was elected, the administrative assistant was a position he requested be added. Because he was the first black mayor in Selma - something that got attention worldwide - he felt he needed someone skilled in administrative work. If you go into his office, he's rarely ever sitting there by himself. Calls came in all the time requesting him to speak and still do.

 Most of the people who are affected are poor black people. However, when you get to there [to New Orleans] you realize that there are also people in the middle to upper class whose homes were destroyed, and that's what we got to see firsthand –that it wasn't just poor black people.

 A lot of whites thought there would not be another white mayor. And blacks thought there always would be a black mayor. Now they are starting to rethink their position.

 The mistake is that the media, you jump on (the Boston police commissioner) and you jump on the mayor. Implicit in that, is the fact that black people are too pathetic to get themselves together. So, since they can't fix themselves, we have to have the mayor fix their families and their dysfunctional kids. No. Wrong.

 Certainly the message was directed at African-Americans both inside and outside New Orleans. It's a political message that he intends to be the mayor of a majority black city. But the statement that God intended New Orleans to be majority black certainly could be interpreted as inflammatory by non-black voters.

 We can do better than a mayor who says he doesn't think many people make the minimum wage. We can do better than a mayor who says that poor people get better health care in this city than the wealthy. I believe that hope and opportunity have to be present in equal measure on every block, on every street in every neighborhood in every borough of our city.

 It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once-when I was poor.
  Larry Holmes

 I had intended to serve one more term as mayor pro-tem, then retire from public service and move out to my farm in the county, ... But over the weekend I decided it would be better for Gray for me to spend this last four years as mayor. If I stayed as mayor pro-tem, it would be like I was condoning the way Mayor Briley is doing things, and I don't.

 It is not immediately apparent, but over a period a time a pattern has emerged. For no clear-cut reason, black pets languish the longest in shelters nationwide. Light-colored dogs, even those who are not housebroken or who may harbor undesirable behavioral traits, are chosen time and time again over black dogs that have good training and wonderful dispositions.
