Andrew Young resigns from Wal-Mart after statement many believed to be racial in nature.

A representative from Los Angeles Sentinel asked if he had concerns about Wal-Mart closing down mom-and-pop stores, Young was quoted as replying: "Well, I think they should... 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."

What are your thoughts?

I don't know. Stereotyping, profiling, racism..........you know, when they talked about America 'the melting pot', they explained it by a chain wave of ghettos......first come the irish, then the germans, then the yadda yadda yadda.......

is this comparison racist, is anything racist?

lol I can't believe he said that on record. Talk about shoving your foot in your mouth, down your throat, through your digestive tract, out the backside and kicking your own ass.
