Are you being facetious? The underclass is the class that has the people who are on welfare and/or commit a tremendous amount of crime. If a person gets pregnant when they’re in their mid teens, gets on welfare, and continues to have children while never getting off welfare, they are members of the underclass. If some person starts committing serious crimes in their early to mid teens, drops out of school, never gets a job and has no plans to get one, they’re a member of the underclass. White or black.

No, not at all. I appreciate your view, and tend that way, but I have to take care and put things on an individual basis, not as people belonging to a "class," so very easy to do, and then wash your hands of it.

I know quite a few people in the situation you describe as a class, but who would rather be otherwise. And I'll tell you, stepping on any and everyone from such origins will not cure the problem. You have to cherry-pick those you are going to condemn, and do it on a personal behavioral basis.

You need to offer a hand up to those who will take it, not a hand-out or the back of your hand indiscriminately. I hope you agree with that?
