I think Mayor Nagin does not really care about the people of New Orleans. I was there at the time the hurricane hit and I think he has other motives for remaining mayor. What has he done for you lately?

More thought-provoking questions, I see.  Bravo!  Actually, I seem to recall an episode of I Love Lucy where Ricky was speaking Spanish on the phone to someone and he gave his full name as something like Ricardo Alberto Ricardo y de Hacha.  The "y de Hacha" part is his second last name, which all Hispanics have but do not use in this country. So, it would seem that his name really is Ricardo Ricardo and I would guess he uses Ricky Ricardo as his professional or stage name.  Good question - really made me think.

There's no getting around the fact that people from different geographic locations sound differently.\n\nThere's no getting around the fact that people with higher education typically have a better vocabulary.\n\nI would never presume to attach a skin color to these statements, nor should anyone else.\n\nPS. Every time I open my mouth people ask me if I'm from NY and if my family is in the mafia.

Did he have a very distinctive (what I would call 'whiny') voice? I'm not sure, but it sounds like something that Mitch Hedburg would have said. I'm sure you can download some mp3's and see if the voice matches.

I know nothing about him, so I would need to do some research on him.  His skin color is not relevant to me.  If I agreed with his views and he was qualified for the office that he might run for, I would consider voting for him.

This looks like German to me but Im not completely sure. Something about it is in the USA....who is......german, Albert was a European who was interested in....\n\nWell if you get anymore of these you can report them as "not an answer" or better yet, "not in English"

Your client? Give me a break man...you are some crack pot conspiracy theorist...first there is no consistent question within your rant of improperly formed English (incomplete) sentences. Second, the racism charges in your "question" make it highly suspect. \n\nHonestly, I am glad that your "client" is not allowed in the US, because if he "hired" you, he should not be here.

It's not entirely about politicians, though I agree that they do play a role. First of all, the majority of people affected by hurricane Katrina were poor and black. What is the race and economic status of most of the flood victims? Many of the people in New Orleans could not afford or didn't have opportunity to leave town. It is much easier to escape a flood than 100+ winds, flying debris, combined with flooding. I agree that Mayor Nagin should have done more to help people evacuate, but hindsight is always 20/20. I don't think he had any malacious plans, but he certainly didn't handle the situation properly. It is not a north vs. south thing so let's not make it about that. We are all citizens of the same country. Let's focus on helping those in need and not making controversy and comparisons where they are not needed.

I think Miller is trying to be very politically correct by pronouncing Latin names the way he thinks they should be pronounced.  Seanez has been "SEE-uh-nez" for about 15 years.  Now all of a sudden he's "say-AHN-yez".  Also, did you notice how last week Miller referred to the White Sox repeatedly as "Major League Champions" rather than "World Champions"?  My guess is ESPN issued the edict on that one so as not to offend overseas viewers (and advertisers).  It reminds me of when Ted Turner used to fire people for saying "foreign" rather than "international".

Tony is great on his radio show and on PTI. The MNF gig is not his thing just yet. I think he feels confined because the show is based solely on football. He is best when he is able to talk about several subjects. Also people think that he is there for comic relief. The problem with that is you have to have good set up men to allow that to show. Theisman is a cardboard announcer and Tirico takes his color commentary too seriously. Let Kornheiser get in on some analysis, he sometimes sounds better than Theisman, and allow for him to let loose sometimes. If ESPN lets him come back next season, he should be better prepared.

I'm with you here... I am Italian, and my son's father is black... and we decided to name the baby Calvin.\n\nHis father's family had a FIT.... they didn't think it was ethnic enough. They wanted me to name him DeShawn or Dante...\n\nI wanted my son to have the same chance at getting a job as everyone else.. because I know racism exists in the hiring practices of many workplaces. Naming my son "DeShawn" would be just ASKING for trouble... in the same way, I wouldn't name him "Rocco" or "Tony" or anything super-Italian, either, for the same reason.\n\nAs a sidenote: My roommate's name is Shakita, and she HATES it.. she says it causes her no end of headaches, because people assume she's this ghettofied, finger-snapping mama.. she's not, of course.

Unfortunately I grew up in his old stomping ground in Metairie, La.  Of course, that is where, 1989, he beat our old friend John Treen for a seat in the Louisiana Legislature, convincing him that he could run for Governor, prompting one of the most interesting political races in US history.  Crook versus racist.  Opponent Edwin Edwards, always the astutue politican in the Huey Long style, even ran bumper stickers that said "Vote for the Crook, it's important."  Edwards won, of course, showing Louisianans' preference for crooks over racists (although just barely).  At least Edwards was a straight shooter...as he often was reported to say "all politicans are crooks, at least you know I'm an honest crook".\n\nDuke got a PhD at a hokey university in Ukraine, with his dissertation on Zionism as a form of racial supremacy.  What a guy. \n\nI remember going to junior high school at a place where the KKK had rallies in the gym, and this was in the 70's!  Duke was part of this scene.  Yes indeed, Jefferson Parish was a lovely place to be (this is sarcasm...in case you were wondering).\n\nI understand he is making noises about running for US Senate and busy with a website and radio show...assuming Katrina didn't wipe him out.  After his tenure in a federal prison (or as they said in Office Space a federal a..-pounding penitentiary) I doubt his views on the races have been changed much.

Pretend this passage is part of a story you're reading. Read this passage, then I've got a question for you to answer.\n\n     It was a hot, sunny afternoon in the inner city. The three bald youths, wearing T-shirts and baggy pants, walked down the cracked sidewalk, their bling dangling around their shoulders. One carried a boombox playing Snoop Dogg loudly. One wore a baseball cap, its bill turned to the side. Another wore sunglasses.\n\n     All right. Now my question is: What ethnicity were these three youths? Answer, then continue reading.\n\n     My point is that you very probably thought of these youths as African-American, even though the description of them never actually said so. Why can't they be whites, or Latino? You see, stereotyping is programmed into our behavior patterns, it's hardwired into our thought processes. It's part of what makes us human. It's a survivial mechanism--we tend to organize others into groups that we want to try to stay away from, and groups that we want to try to join, because these groups could either harm us or hurt us. Such concerns are beyond "good" and "bad", it's just the way we are.

Don't care about your comments about God but I do believe that Ray Nagin is a racist.  Attacking people for voting for who they want to un-American too.  He is trying to get the people to "know their place".  Seems odd to me since blacks fought so hard for their right to vote.  They also fought to have their opinions count.  Why would a candidate take that away from them?
