Thom Hartmann: Did the foreclosure crisis target minorities?

[thomhartmann]

There's still no relief in sight for struggling American homeowners. Especially after we learned this week that mortgage giant Freddie Mac - which was in charge of keeping Americans in their homes - was actually betting on people getting kicked out of their homes. Since the George Bush meltdown in 2007 - 9 million homes in American have been lost to foreclosure. And as of right now - another 4 million are in danger of foreclosure. But even more troubling than these disturbingly high foreclosure numbers - is what's behind them. And how this foreclosure crisis is disproportionately affecting minority homeowners. Joining me from New York to speak to this issue is Janell Ross - Business Reporter with the Huffington Post.
