First, the bad news. Before the Great Recession hit, the average family of color had a net worth of less than $30,000; the average white family's net worth was $170,000. With the economic downturn, things got worse for almost everyone, but especially for people of color. White unemployment rose to 9 percent, but unemployment among blacks is at a whopping 16 percent, and among Latinos it's nearly 13 percent. The economic crisis hits blacks and Latinos in other ways, too. They were far more likely to be saddled with high-rate, subprime loans than their white counterparts with similar qualifications, and they are more likely to be facing the loss of their main asset-their home. The election of [Barack Obama] built on centuries of struggle against injustice. It's a milestone in the healing ...

This income gap is mild when compared with the racial wealth gap. CFED, a Washington, D.C. 501(c)(3) developed a 20092010 Assets and Opportunities Scorecard based on 2006 data which showed that the median household net worth of minorities in Massachusetts was insignificant when compared with that of whites. The minority net worth was only $6,694 compared with $213,755 for whites. The difference is a factor of 3 1 .9. This is one of the greatest gaps in the country. No institution is more important for developing black wealth tban a solid black bank. For this reason, OneUnited Bank has been featured as the first business in BannerBiz. OneUnited, which is a Massachusetts bank, is the largest black owned and managed bank in the country. The article on OneUnited in BannerBiz will provide mo...

Like most Americans, Orfalea support the two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine dispute. He don't believe in America right or wrong, nor do he believe in Israel right or wrong. Moreover, he have been sharply and publicly critical of Israeli polices, such as settlements, Palestinian actions, suicide bombings, and American abetting of or indifference to both sides' worst instincts. Long past his lifetime and after many decades of healing and self-identity as separate nations, ultimate justice would create a unified state where settlers could stay and and refugees come home, where Arabs and Jews would be treated as equals, not only in law, but in practice. A sense of urgency about that problem, he don't doubt Barack Obama shares. It's endemic to Obama's worldview and sense of the crisi...

A U.S. Small Business Administration program has been revamped in order to increase the availability of financing to firms that have a showroom of expensive inventory - car, boat, RV and motorcycle dealerships. But Long Island lenders aren't clamoring to participate in the new program. Also, dealer management doubts the program will help them since local dealerships are either too big or too small to fit into the federal program.

AMERICANS have heard for two years now that this is the Great Recession and that these are the worst economic times since the Great Depression. But the tough times and the 9.8 percent national unemployment rate have not stopped the gene- rosity of Americans. The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University estimated that Americans made more than $300 billion in charitable donations this year. That is a slight drop of 3.2 percent from the level in 2009. Nonetheless, it works out to charitable gifts of about $1,000 this year for every man, woman and child in America. In West Virginia, donations for holiday charities continue to flow. The generosity can be seen across the state from the Daily Mail Neediest Cases Appeal and the Gazette Charities Christmas Fund in Charleston to the 80th ann...

A useful life will take time to fix these problems, a useless life will take time to fuss over these problems. A useful life will assign to healing analysis, a useless life will resign to hateful paralysis. If time means anything to you, the clock is ticking and America is saying, "We have enough problems already without having you added to the list. You may not have everything you want, but you have enough to get what you want, especially what you need." Barack Obama writes The Audacity of Hope, a challenge to see a new day for a renewed people. He quotes such concerns as: our national debt now stands at $9 trillion-approximately $30,000 for every man, woman, and child in this country; the black median net worth is about $6,000, and Latino median net worth is about $8,000, compared to ...

The economic collapse of 2008 and 2009 did so much damage to the United States that only now can we begin to measure the devastation. A sentence buried in the budget that President Barack Obama submitted to Congress this week screamed for attention. "Household net worth fell from the third quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2009," it said, "by $17.5 trillion or 26.5 percent, which is the equivalent to more than one year's GDP.
