African Americans were worse off financially in 2016 than they were in 2000, The Washington Post's Heather Long reported.

“African Americans are the only racial group the Census Bureau identifies that has been left behind. White, Asian and Hispanic households have all seen at least modest income gains.

We had a black president for the last 8 of those years.

ProWi and others wish he could be president for life.

Lord Have Mercy.

Morons see, Morons do.

If you were following what happened to Blacks in America through the centuries, through the decades, through the years, you would also have known what happened during the last recession and how the majority of Blacks lost their wealth with the banking crisis.

The majority of that wealth was tied up in home ownership. And who stole that wealth away from blacks? The crooked Banks.

How the recession turned owners into renters and obliterated black American wealth.

Now how is your Moron-in-Chief going to help “his” African Americans?

Wealth Gap Among Races Has Widened Since Recession.

I know you drink too muck moron-laced Kool Aid, so it’s necessary to give you some life-saving re-education.

Let's not confuse the matter with the facts. Excellent post. Pure, empirical data.

Unless of course you're a Trump supporter...then it's fake news.

Since then, the Obama administration has looked the other way as the bank committed an astonishing variety of crimes – some elaborate and brilliant in their conception, some so crude that they'd be beneath your average street thug. Bank of America has systematically ripped off almost everyone with whom it has a significant business relationship, cheating investors, insurers, depositors, homeowners, shareholders, pensioners and taxpayers. It brought tens of thousands of Americans to foreclosure court using bogus, "robo-signed" evidence – a type of mass perjury that it helped pioneer.

- From the Rollingstones article you posted. More proof Obama was a pathetic leader and did nothing for blacks.

In reply to ProWI

The gap widened under Obama's leadership however blacks are to be blamed as much as the lazy president.

We make poor investments. We love get rich schemes not the hardnosed work of building a business and investing long term.
