At least Mel Had The Good Grace To Get Drunk First - And Then There's Andy Young!
Topics: Political News and commentariesCaptain Ed notes that one thing that Carter-era UN Ambassador and former Mayor Andrew Young didn't do was call a police officer "sugar tits" when unleashing his bigoted tirade:
The civil rights leader Andrew Young, who was hired by Wal-Mart to improve its public image, resigned from that post last night after telling an African-American newspaper that Jewish, Arab and Korean shop owners had "ripped off" urban communities for years, "selling us stale bread, and bad meat and wilted vegetables."As noted at Captain's Quarters, Young gave vent to his inner bigot and trotted out a veritable cornucopia of paranoia. Unlike Mel Gibson, whose drunken state could arguably have created an irrational mental state (or he could just be an anti-Semite), Young has no such excuse...In the interview, published yesterday in The Los Angeles Sentinel, a weekly, Mr. Young said that Wal-Mart "should" displace mom-and-pop stores in urban neighborhoods.
So where's all the outrage from the anti-Mel crowd? Why hasn't this been covered 24/30 by talking heads in the MSM? Apparently bigotry and racism only counts when it's from a white Catholic associated with "Passion of the Christ."
