Just to put in a little dig at you'all, remember tht George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Robert Byrd, the Mississippi governors, and all these people who kept their boots on the necks of minorities, were the leading democrats of their day.

Here in Avondale on the east side of Atlanta, Wal-Mart has bought a defunct shopping center on a very busy street, on the dividing line between blacks and whites, poor and not-so-poor. All of the blacks in the area want a Wal-mart Super Store, and the jobs, selection, and low prices it offers. Most of the whites are having a heart attack, and using every excuse in the book (except the probable truth) to oppose it.

Izzat Memorial and Columbia Drive? Haven't lived in that area in over 25 years. Even then, it was starting to go downhill.
