Mayor Ray Nagin apologized Tuesday for a Martin Luther King Day speech in which he predicted that New Orleans would be a “chocolate” city once more and asserted that “God was mad at America.”

“I said some things that were totally inappropriate. … It shouldn’t have happened,” Nagin said, explaining he was caught up in the moment as he spoke to mostly black spectators, many of them fearful of being shut out of the city’s rebuilding.

He was caught up in the moment as he spoke to mostly black spectators, many of them fearful of being shut out of the city’s rebuilding… So… Is he sorry because his comments were totally inappropriate or is he sorry because he was caught up in the moment speaking to mostly black spectators?

Is he implying that his comments were appropriate for a group of mostly black spectators?

See. It does all depend on who your audience is.
