should we just leave it to paula deen to talk about race in america? does that reflect positively on this great country? bundy to just allow talk about race in america? does that paint our country in the best possible light? or should we just leave it to donald sterling to talk about race in america? does that reflect the views of the great many good hearted people across this country? of course we shouldn't. so we're here today to illuminate a problem that we think america should deal with for the good of the country not just the african-american community because there's a significant gap in terms of wealth generation, creation and maintenance that threaten the economic security of this country. let me just briefly highlight a few points along this spectrum. in terms of the unemployment rate, it is a significant difference. the white unemployment rate is 5.8% in this country. that is chart illustrates. e latino unemployment rate 7.9%. the african-american unemployment rate 12.4%. in in terms of
