Linda Chavez has nailed it on this one.
Townhall.com :: Columns :: God and New Orleans by Linda Chavez - Jan 18, 2006: "So why is it that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin -- whose comments I've paraphrased above, substituting 'vanilla' for 'chocolate' and Salt Lake City for New Orleans -- can get away with such blatantly racist claptrap? Most major newspapers buried the mayor's comments, if they reported them at all, and those national news programs that played them did so largely without commentary. I can't imagine a white mayor praising the racial purity of a white community getting similar treatment. "
I'm sorry and I hate to be blatantly dense on such an easy subject but why is it that it is perfectly OK for a black political leader to be openly racist? He gets no criticism and no calls for his resignation. A "European American" can elude to the fact that African Americans(a term i still dont understand) has darker skin and they will be summarily executed by the press. How about some equal treatment. Maybe that's it. Equality I mean. What a concept if it were just applied... equally.
