Andrew Young resigns from Working Families for Wal-Mart

No organization of affiliated organization is perfect.

From AP. The quotes are from former Atlanta mayor and ex-US Ambassodor to the United Nations, Andrew Young:

"Those are the people who have been overcharging us, selling us stale bread and bad meat and wilted vegetables." He goes on about the mom-and-pop stores: "I think they've ripped off our communities enough. First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs; very few black people own these stores.

He did the honorable thing and resigned from his position with Working Families for Wal-Mart.

The pro-Wal-Mart group is better off without him. I've disliked Young ever since he made made the outragous claim--while he was Jimmy Carter's man at Turtle Bay--that there were perhaps "thousands of political prisoners" being held in the US.
