black%20AIDS%20institute.jpgDemocracy Now! had a great segment about the report released yesterday, “Economic (In)Security: The Experience of the African American and Latino Middle Classes.” The report asserts that:

The vast majority of African-American and Latino middle-class families are at risk of falling out of the middle class altogether. Only one in four African-American and one in five Latino middle-class families in America are financially secure.

Watch the segment here. Pay attention to the segment prior to this one as well, there are some very interesting links being made between poverty and the government’s response to the AIDS epidemic in the black community.

(On a side note, when will these researchers finally let us know how they categorize black Latinos?)
