Oooweee!! So un-PC, Mr Young?? Bet the media won't crucify him, even though they hate Walmart.
Quote: | Young quits Wal-Mart group after remarks
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, by Marilyn Geewax
Andrew Young, the former United Nations ambassador and mayor of Atlanta, said Thursday he has resigned as head of Working Families for Wal-Mart, a Washington-based group that supports the retail giant.

"But you see, those are the people who have been overcharging us ...First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs; very few black people own these stores."

Just so it's clear...Mr. Young was referring to "mom and pop" businesses (of THOSE ethnicities) that Wal-mart has allegedly displaced.
I dunno, but I suppose it's almost poetic justice that Young (who probably got his position with Wal-mart in the first place as a payoff to the racial extortionists) has been bitten by the very same racial bigotry he has spent a lifetime denouncing. |

Andrew Young was sober when he spoke these words. Where are the cries of anti-semitism from the drive-by leftstream media? Where are all the cries of discrimnation and hate speech?
And, they say there is no media bias? _________________ Clark County Conservative |

Imagine what they'd say if I called Andrew Young the n-word. I would be branded a racist, wouldn't I?
