Check out that thread by Jesus Malverde in GD. Interesting info at the article in the link.

Strange days indeed ... Most peculiar mama!

1. From the article:

The top half of African American families — the core of the middle class — is left with less than half of the typical wealth they possessed in 2007. The wealth of similarly situated whites declined by just 14?percent.

Overall, the survey found, the typical African American family was left with about eight cents for every dollar of wealth held by whites.

And yet...it's mostly the white voters who have been abandoning Obama/the Democrats in general, even though they've fared far better in the economy than black voters. Make of that what you will.

3. just more evidence of "class not race" being bs

otherwise the numbers would be more equal across all races.
