This story quotes Dr. Maya Rockeymoore’s argument that the Democratic presidential-primary debate did not touch on issues important to African Americans:
“On the economic front, blacks have been devastated by and have not recovered from the effects of the housing crisis and the Great Recession,” argued Maya Rockeymoore of Global Policy Solutions in a scathing post-debate statement circulated Monday. “Yet, there were no debate questions about the candidates’ plans for creating jobs, addressing predatory lending, reversing the drop in homeownership rates, expanding Social Security, or closing deeply disturbing poverty, income and wealth disparities experienced by black Americans.”
