Quite a hoot, considering McKinney and her dad have made anti-Semetic remarks while on camera during her victory parties.

When she lost the primary the first time, a few years ago, first she blamed it on the Jews, then the white people in Dunwoody, and then...the Hindus?!? There's a little Hindu population in this country, with an emphasis on the "little."

I sat next to her table at the Original Pancake House on Memorial Drive a couple of weeks later. She was meeting with Green Party people trying to figure out whether she should join their party.

My business partner and I were there, as we were the same time every Thursday in those days, and we were trying to nail down a garden design over breakfast.

Unfortunately, the nature of the conversation next to us made it difficult to concentrate on our work, much less eat our food without inadvertently snorting coffee out our noses from trying not to laugh.

I think his words come more out of frustration than from an 'obligation' to Wal-Mart. From his viewpoint, and I've heard this from many black leaders, they don't think it's fair that some of these 'immigrants' are new to this country and are able to get small business loans to open these mom-n-pop stores while many black entrepreneurs have been denied.

I think, and this is just my opinion, that he is equally as frustrated with people in the black community who choose to rob and vandalize businesses. The perception that certain areas of town were unsafe led to an exodus of businesses and jobs creating the vaccuum that these mom-n-pop stores filled.

Captain X, this is pretty much where I thought Andy was coming from. There is discrimination in lending here, though I would point out not just for blacks.

Some Asian communities have dealt with this effectively by not going to banks for money to start their own businesses. They look to a system they have in their own ethnic community to do that. The Koreans are especially good at this.

We helped our son's friend's mother (Korean) out with some advice on a business plan she was going to present to her Korean group. She got her loan. She works a job in real estate, and owns and manages an emissions testing business on the side.
