Proposal has Urban League getting QuikTrip property burned by rioters.
The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis recently announced plans to build a “community empowerment center” on the site of the Ferguson, Missouri, QuikTrip convenience store that was burned and looted by protesters Aug. 10, the day after Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown.
But to one investigative reporter, the development is as offensive as the infamous “Ground Zero mosque” in Manhattan.
“It is showing that these leftists … that their race-obsessed philosophy has triumphed in Ferguson, Missouri, so it’s like a big statue is being erected to their ugly, race-tinged view of American society,” said Matthew Vadum, senior editor at the Capital Research Center.
The National Urban League’s mission, according to its website, is “to enable African Americans to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights.”
The organization supports many liberal goals: giving every American access to a job with a living wage and good benefits; ensuring every American lives in safe, affordable, energy-efficient housing; giving every American access to quality and affordable health care; and ensuring every child is ready for college, work and life.
