Illegitimacy, crime, joblessness — these are not merely the much debated pathologies of a black underclass, Murray finds. They are white people problems too.

And the statistics are remarkably the same between the two. As we have seen, the opioid crisis has even dragged in addiction, albeit with different drugs.

And it sort of knocks holes in the argument that the black underclass' problems are the result of lax morals and work ethic, but more the result of few available jobs. Women have children outside of marriage because they are more employable than the men, albeit in menial service jobs, and there just isn't the economic incentives to marry, in fact, the incentives are not to. So they don't as often.

The biggest difference is the relative lack of gang violence. But that is likely to change as opioid distribution moves towards a more formal structure and the establishment of "turf".
