On the contrary, racism is the primary cause for the large underclass of black people in this country. Knowing you are one of them Ted, when are you coming out of your closet to defend your brethren?? Do read Kierkegaard, the number one defender of the single human rights vs the community and get the hang of it. I did 40+ years ago. Taro

Racism, broadly defined, may be a major cause of a black underclass, but only if you consider historical racism over a long period of time (including slavery) and its indirect effects. The idea that current racism is the primary or even a major cause of the existence of a disproportionately black "underclass" is incorrect. None of which has a lot to do with the article. The article was not mostly about why people where poor, but about why poor people suffer more in disasters. Racism is not a major direct or current cause of the extra amount of pain disasters cause for the poor. Poor people of all races suffer more in disasters then wealthier people do. Tim
