The housing bubble was inflated during a Republican administration that stressed an 'ownership society' and popped during that same administration. Why were minorities hardest hit? Why were they in such a precarious financial position to begin with?
Because Democrats targeted them for it. Without subprime minorities would have had no exposure to the Keynesian RE bubble.
Gain some knowledge, if you are able.

According to you, the systemic discrimination that occurred within living memory had absolutely nothing to do with their starting further behind in the race. Laughable.
Zack Morris, the minority communities have been the wards of the liberal Democrat party for over 40 years now, nigh on 50, and the result is record numbers of blacks in jail, the lowest academic results in modern history and the wealth gap between black and white being the largest in our known recorded history. Leave me out of it, I have nothing to do with it. It is entirely your affair.
The skilled labor force is thriving here and abroad. Your idea of a thriving private sector is below-minimum-wage employment, which wouldn't provide any relief to those living on or above the minimum wage but who are still dirt poor. The simple fact is that unskilled labor can't sustain a modern economy.
But Zack Morris the Democrat Party prides itself on being the party of the little guy, the poor unwashed, the party of public schools, the party of the union man, the party of the illegal immigrant not the party of the highly paid highly educated college boy. Trumka despises those people as do the Democrats back to FDR and earlier. Why do you despise your own people Zack Morris? Throw your own people to the dogs? Why destroy their ability to earn a living Zack Morris? What is the source of your misanthropy, do you figure?
Setting up and running a business are as easy as ever but low-wage industries like burger-flipping, lawn care, and machining are saturated. We don't need any more of these things.
But Zack Morris if such things are easier than ever why are they not being done? In your own words. You are in charge of the economy Zack Morris, why do you not provide jobs for these people?
Why is your party as their main legislative thrust trying bring in tens of millions of burger flippers and lawn mowers? Why are you doing that, in your own words.
One thing that has been consistently absent from this discussion is your idea of where these people should be employed. Traditionally, the answer has been 'middle class occupations', but these have always existed in a precarious economic position, as evidenced by the absence of a thriving middle class throughout most of human history. The only time we have had such a thing is immediately after major technological revolutions and artificially after WWII when there were barriers preventing others from duplicating it. The service sector has been decimated by the Internet and was never robust enough to be economically self-sufficient in the first place.
The question Zack Morris is what do you think your black people should be employed doing when you graduate them from high school at a rate of as low as 30%? When you do that what do you expect for them Zack Morris. In your own words.
There aren't any big new government initiatives aimed at minorities and the existing ones, like affirmative action, have been on the way out for years now. The beauty of all this is that whatever your plan is, it doesn't involve government, so how come it can't compete with a government that quite literally does nothing for minorities?
