The United States is becoming much more racially and ethnically diverse. At the same time, it’s becoming more unequal in terms of wealth and income. These two trends are combining in an uncomfortable way: the wealth and income divide is happening along racial and ethnic lines.
The typical black household now has just 6% of the wealth of the typical white household; the typical Latino household has just 8%, according to a recent study called The Racial Wealth Gap: Why Policy Matters, by Demos, a public policy organization promoting democracy and equality, and the Institute on Assets and Social Policy.
In absolute terms, the median white household had $111,146 in wealth holdings in 2011, compared to $7,113 for the median black household and $8,348 for the median Latino household. (All figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau Survey of Income and Program Participation.)
While the disparity might seem only to be a problem for the economically disadvantaged families of color, it actually worsens political and economic outcomes for the entire country.

LAST DITCH DEMAND TO THE DFL & GOP FROM Christopher Seymore FOR P.O.C.

Today in a last-ditch effort, (a desperate final attempt) to get African Americans to band together like never before for the sake of their children's future Christopher Seymore called an Emergency Meeting with all Minnesota DFL African American Caucus Members. It is no secret, I am Christopher Seymore. This is my personal Blog as a non-profit philanthropist. I am calling this meeting with all (P.O.C.) PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THE STATE THAT CAN ATTEND, BUT I NEED THE DFL & GOP P.O.C. CAUCUS MEMBERS TO SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT FOR THEIR PEOPLE! WHY ? BECAUSE MINNESOTA LEGISLATORS HAVE FAILED US!
