"Nagin: Focus on New Orleans, Not Farrakhan"
Tags: ray nagin, louis farrakhanBayouBuzz calls Ray Nagin to task, questioning his "judgment, logic and leadership skills". It mentions the news of his meeting with Louis Farrakhan, and offers this:
Why are the City of New Orleans and its leaders obsessed with the Nation of Islam? Earlier in the year, Police Chief Eddie Compass hired a Nation of Islam official to conduct sensitivity training for his police officers. Of course having the Nation of Islam conduct sensitivity training is akin to hiring David Duke to teach classes on race relations. It was a ludicrous idea that was strenuously opposed by religious leaders in the community, forcing Compass to eventually withdraw the contract. After that experience, why would Nagin fraternize with the Nation of Islam again, especially when the City of New Orleans needs as much goodwill as possible to recover from this storm?
