SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
Just outside of Houston, TX....the exact city I will not say so as not to draw attention...but let me just say 4 out of 10 people here can't speak English. Good thing I'm pretty fluent in Spanish (and I'm white, so, I learned Spanish in school so I could communicate with people).

NEW ORLEANS ? Mayor Ray Nagin suggested Monday that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other storms were a sign that "God is mad at America" and at black communities, too, for tearing themselves apart with violence and political infighting.
"Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country," Nagin, who is black, said as he and other city leaders marked Martin Luther King Day.
All I'm saying is it's sad to me that illegal aliens get more jobs than regular citizens. Plain and simple. Legs asked, I answered.
illegal alliens probably get more jobs than regular citizens because they do their job well at the least amount of time and MONEY. So why choose a lazy local ass...
Well, if you've been to New Orleans you understand the context. For better or worse it was probably the blackest city I've ever been to. That's undeniable.
60% black. It's undeniable. A very black city. A Chocolate city for sure. Yet, this hurricaine has displaced most of those residents.
If the city is looking to rebuild with it's original residents who are all starting lives in other (much better IMHO) cities they have to do what they can to attract a good number of the original residents that left... the black folks.
If they don't do that quickly, the population will place New Orleans in a much lower position population wise in the future. This in turn will lower it's budget alloted to it by state government. This is catastrophic for a city that was setup for a larger budget. Most of the federal emergency grants will be used up rebuilding the city. After that's gone those citizens need to be replaced. Those black people may have mainly lived outside of the French Quarter where Mardi Gras is held, but they are what bolstered the budget to keep the french Quarter clean and relatively safe thanks to the funding for police and sanitation from the state.
So, if you keep this in mind you can understand the context of his statement. It's a crisis situation so a big bold eye catching statement that resonates with the intended target is necessary and very useful. That statement is definitely one of those.
Sure, a some other races may take offense but he is just doing what he has to do to given the situation.
I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read most of the people not returning to NOLA aren't because they don't have the money and /or insurance to rebuild or even move back there if they were renting. Ergo, wouldn't the government be GIVING them money instead of MAKING money having them move back?
Seems a good time for NOLA to invite all the evil rich white folks to come and build there and provide a bigger tax bucket for the city.
White people that know about the area are understandably apprehensive about moving to that city. Peaches, you've been around more than most, would you move to New Orleans knowing what you know about that city pre and post Katrina?
Also, the welcome back money is due to the emergency budget not the standard city budget.
