minorities voting for Trump. If I were you I would worry about those in the majority that will vote for him. I suppose the depression of 2008 hasn't taught them anything. It wasn't just minorities that lost their wealth.

(MoneyWatch) Increasing housing prices and the stock market''s posting all-time highs haven't helped the plight most Americans. The average U.S. household has recovered only 45 percent of the wealth they lost during the recession, according to a report released yesterday from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

This finding is a very different picture than one painted in a report earlier this year by the Fed that calculated Americans as a whole had regained 91 percent of their losses. The writers of the report released yesterday point out that the earlier number is based on aggregate household-net-worth data. However, this isn't adjusted for inflation, population growth or the nature of the wealth. Further, they say much of recovery in net worth is because of the stock market, which means most of the improvement has been a boon only to wealthy families.

So rather than worry about minorities, how are we going to stop the seemingly blind majority that will be voting for Trump. That IMHO appears to be the question we should be asking and discussing.
