				Oooweee!! So un-PC, Mr Young?? Bet the media won't crucify him, even though they hate Walmart.

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.

				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?

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