Excellent statistical data and presentation. Lui should be on tour, nationwide. She is not only speaking for people of color, but women who remain on the lower rung of the economic ladder. I will post a link to this video on my network America Is For Us All at http://americaisforusall.ning.com

What I found interesting, after spending 5 months in China and Japan and understanding that most Asians do not lump themselves into the same category as African-Americans, i.e. "People of Color", is that Lui refers to herself and her people as "people of color". The message I get from her is that there are white people and people of color. It will be wonderful when we are all just "people".

I disagree with "luck" being an important factor in gaining wealth. Rather then spend hours typing up my points I would only say that you should read the book "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Classon It is the foundation of wealth building and easy enough for a fourth grader to read and understand.

Lui's example of the Civil War illustrates the historical economic practices of the US which includes a recurrence of displacing peoples to gain more econonomic power through increased land ownership, a practice that has been used from the very beginning of US history and still occurs today.

Lui presents a well researched and an often not spoken about topic. She interestingly traces historical transfers of wealth. She also addresses issues multi-culturally, non-exclusively blunt. It is good to see that she addresses, the issue of economic disparity, as not just a black and white issue.
