Life is like a box of...

I'm hearing bits and pieces about what New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin said the other day about New Orleans needing to be a 'chocolate city'. He was obviously speaking to his audience and has since apologized for the comments. I've heard some good points on the radio about how if this was a white mayor saying that the city needs to be a vanilla or white city that the outrage would be even worse. Perhaps. Perhaps not. All I know is that, historically, New Orleans has always been a multi-cultural city all the way back to the 18th century. They didn't call it the French Quarter for nothing. Maybe in his next speech, Mayor Nagin should switch to mocha.
