Politics aside, I have always liked Andrew Young. He has always loved the South. Years ago I saw an interview with him and the person conducting the interview asked him about the difference in the way blacks were treated in the South and in Chicago. He didn't take the bait. He said [paraphrased] the interviewer must understand. He was from the South. It is where his heart is. As for prejudice, it is not something exclusive to the South. It is everywhere. Even in Chicago. At no time did he infer all Southern whites hate blacks.
I have never heard him speak in terms of what blacks are owed from whites. It has always been what can be done we to make lives better.
In the early 70's he pushed for students to stay in school and get an education. He always said if you were in high school and wanting to drop out, come to his office, talk to him first. The dropout rate among blacks was sky high back then. They were the targets of his PSA's. But I had no doubt if I, an 18 yr old white girl from Chamblee, went his office and asked him to give me a reason to stay in school, he would have talked to me.

is this the guy who was mayor of Atlanta ???
In 1986 I was on a Greyhound bus leaving Chicago. The bus was almost empty and I was sitting 2 or 3 rows back from the front. The black driver was telling a black passenger sitting in the first row that he thought Chicago was the most segregated city in the country, and that he was going to retire soon and move back to Louisiana.
Wow, hell has frozen.
Ya suppose he’ll get Cosby’d now?
bkmk
Black lives don’t matter to black people, sadly.
Andrew is too old to be Vice President. He would have been a pretty good one though.
On SNL he told Garrick Morris “Light skinned blacks are smarter that dark skinned blacks.”
Morris said “Say what?”
