Excuse me... Mayor Nagin...
Mayor Nagin? Are you listening? Your fears are about to come true:
Sorry Ray. Your not motivating the land lords to repair their properties so the blacks would come back and make the city "chocolate".
Here is what I think is going to happen: We are going to end up paying for the reconstruction of these areas twice. I wonder how many of the slum lords in New Orleans have already collected checks and decided to take the money and run? It is New Orleans, after all. These people will leave with their pockets full of FEMA cash, abandoning the wreckage, then the Nanny Government will have to come in and rebuild anyway, thus spending the money twice.
On another note: Why is everybody in such a hurry to get these people to move back into a swamp? Why are they trying so hard to get people to move back into an area that isn't any safer than it was back in September? I guess I have to ask what their real motivation is. It obviously isn't the saftey and well being of the blacks. Well, other than Ray Nagin getting elected again. And the millions and millions of dollars coming in.

The city of New Orleans could lose up to 80 percent of its black population if people displaced by Hurricane Katrina are not able to return to damaged neighborhoods, according to an analysis by a Brown University sociologist.
Sorry Ray. Your not motivating the land lords to repair their properties so the blacks would come back and make the city "chocolate".
Elliott Stonecipher, a demographer and political analyst based in Shreveport, La., said the analysis gets to the heart of the debate over how to rebuild New Orleans. Racial tensions have been high with some worried that those in charge of the rebuilding will push black residents out of the city.
