Presidency and Ethnicity

LA Times wrote an article on how minorities and poor favor the Democratic party. Recent studies have shown that color family income raises about $700 a year while only rising $150 a year for the Republican side. While this happens Whites do not suffer any losses.

It seems as if minorities are not towards Republican presidency. And since minorities are rapidly rising they are beginning to play a bigger role in government. According to Marx class is based upon what a person owns. In leture we saw that lower income families tend to live closer to other lower income families creating segregation on its own.

If Democrats keep helping minority poor families then little by little the segregation will be broken as the families income increases.
