Talk:Chocolate City speech

Untitled
Well the mayor wanted a chocolate city and now they are killing each other. That was an inapropriate thing to say and if he were white and said vanilla he would be impeached by now. Mark, Detroit

Title
I've made some edits. One point I think is important is we should be clear that "Chocolate City speech" is an after the fact nickname by some commentators, not the event, announced subject, nor title. -- Infrogmation

Other ingredients
I moved the below editorializing speculative ramble here to the talk page, as Nagin's comments make no mention of sugar, carrageenan. -- Infrogmation 15:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Ironically, chocolate milk consists of less than 20% cocoa solids and cocoa liquor in a majority milk-based (white) beverage. Chocolate milk also contains carrageenan, sugar and vanilla; although vanilla is a common pejorative term for suburban caucasian culture, it is unclear what is demographically suggested by sugar and suspensors.

racial majority
I think there should be a note in the article about the racial majority of voters being black if we're going to mention racial majority at all, in terms of the election. If the only voters were current residents, nagin surely wouldn't be mayor right now.Wbbigtymer 07:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

"related" section
I removed the "related" section as it is mostly editorializing / OR. It lies outside the scope of the article and the relevant information is already in the other sections or linked to in the see also section. - Che Nuevara  23:10, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Should Be Integrated with an Article on Reverse Discrimination
The topic is too short for its own article, but it should be integrated into an article on "reverse discrimination" that includes, among other things, a discussion on why racist remarks disparaging of whites are socially and politically acceptable while remarks directed toward non-whites are not.

Intoxicated
The article does not mention that he was quite obviously intoxicated by alcohol when he made this speech. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:DA80:3:632:DC57:A204:3C3B:E43B (talk) 02:35, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
