Restaurant group plans to fight fast-food restrictions in Los Angeles

The L.A. Times reports on the Nanny State's crusade against fast food:

Historically, fast food provided business opportunities to African American entrepreneurs at a time when few were available with national companies. Roland Jones, one of the first African American McDonald's executives, got into the business in the mid-1960s, when it was rare for fast-food franchises to be established in minority neighborhoods.

But as whites began moving out of many urban areas, leaving McDonald's and other restaurants with black clientele and white managers who were afraid to stay, Jones said, McDonald's started training black managers and eventually became a leading conduit for African Americans who wanted to start businesses or get into management.

"McDonald's has made more African American millionaires than everyone else," said Jones, who lives in Nashville and help found the Black McDonald's Operators Assn. trade group. "We are into the second and third generation now of owners."

Are modern day progressives against blacks becoming millionaires? It appears so.
