Interestingly while Nagin complains about the war in Iraq New Orleans had a much higher violent death rate in 2006 than Iraq did! (1)

There's white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate, so what's the problem? Perhaps that's what he meant - that there would be all kinds of chocolate people in the new city? I don't think so. Well, Hillary makes the "plantation" comment (2) and Harry Belafonte rants about Bush being the greatest tyrant in the world (3); what's going on? Where is the black leadership condemning these idiotic remarks?

I think we should all go to the nearest Carvel and ask for a New Orleans' Chocolate: A scoop of vanilla, a scoop of strawberry, chocolate syrup with a blast of Army Core of Engineers pralines.

And if you are looking for a link to some Hurricane Katrina Relief, look elsewhere; certainly the last thing we should be doing is enticing all those chocolate sprinkles to come back and rebuild inside the next catastrophe zone. God emptied that human spittoon, let's leave it alone.

Gateway Pundit, Chocolate City Tops Iraq in 2006 Violent Death Rates!

Three New Year's Eve killings brought the city's murder total to 161 for 2006. Depending on which population estimate is used, that works out to a rate of 60 to 81 killings per 100,000 residents.

But two-thirds of the murders were in the last half of the year. The state's most recent door-to-door survey estimated the population at 200,000 down from a pre-storm figure of about 455,000.

Using that estimate, the 2006 murder rate is 81 per 100,000 residents.

...

Meanwhile in Iraq...
The AP released a report this week by government officials that said that there were:

16,273 violent deaths in Iraq in 2006 -- 14,298 of them civilians, 1,348 police and 627 soldiers were killed in the violence that raged in the country.

In a country of 26,783,000 that comes out to a 2006 violent death rate of 61 per 100,000 residents. If you figure just civilian death in Iraq in 2006 you get a violent death rate of 53 per 100,000.

New Orleans had a much higher death rate in 2006 than in Iraq!
It might be time for a Big Easy Study Group.

CNN, Clinton's 'plantation' remark draws fire

Sen. Hillary Clinton drew criticism Tuesday for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in which she told a mostly black audience at a Harlem church that Republican leaders have run the House "like a plantation" and the Bush administration will go down as "one of the worst" in U.S. history.

Blog Critics, Harry Belafonte Goes Bananas in a Banana Republic

002 Harry Belafonte called Colin Powell a 'House Slave'. In August of this year he called African-Americans in the government 'black tyrants', compared the Bush administration to Nazi Germany and made the classic comment that "Hitler had a lot of Jews high up in the hierarchy." At one time he even commented "If you believe in freedom! If you believe in justice, if you believe in democracy-- you have no choice but to support Fidel Castro!"

One might think that Belafonte had made enough crazy, confused and anti-American statements for a decade, but this week he took a trip to Venezuela as a UNICEF 'goodwill ambassador', and got on stage with neo-communist dictator Hugo Chavez and couldn't resist the opportunity to shout his defiance of Bush, of reality and of sanity.

Belafonte started out his remarks by once again demonstrating his firm command of facts when he commented that the United States builds more prisons than schools, a pretty remarkable conclusion considering we have about 6 million kids in school and only about 1.7 million criminals in prison. Maybe our schools are really, really big. How long is the bus ride to your local 10,000 student megaschool?
