I am an old man without enough to do. Lately, I have taken an interest in "social class" as an important consideration in individual and group dynamics. In order to maintain some semblance of memory, I do these revierws both for myself and my children.

And thank you for doing this and sharing it. I just skimmed it and am printing it off for a serious read later.

Parenthetically, Theodore Dalrymple, a psychiatrist, writes about the underclass in the UK in the same terms: the underclass in the UK is almost exclusively White. Dalrymple, similarly found in France the underclass is almost exclusively Algerian and Islamic in origin.

He immediately came to mind.

Though we're going to the dogs, merry Christmas.

Thanks for the post.

What is baffling to me is we are importing more of the underclass to this country, and trying to keep them from becoming Americans and Balkanizing this country. - tom

**QUOTE**Presently, 60 percent of the underclass is Black, 20 percent Hispanic and the other 20% mostly White. Most of the homeless are drug addicts or alcoholics: 89 per cent of the homeless in large metropolitan areas are minorities. In smaller cities, 23 percent of the homeless are minorities.**

Don't know where you got these Stats from, but from the latest Census and Media info looks to be wrong.

The 32 Million Americans (probably more like 40 Million) living Below the Poverty Line, Nearly 45% are Blacks, 40% Hispanics, 15% Whites & Asians. YES 40% HISPANIC, they are now Officially the Poorest Ethnic Group in the USA, sometime in the mid/late 1990s they outpaced the Blacks in taking the No 1 Spot for the "Poorest Ethnic Group in America", so as "CAPT. TOM" Stated WE ARE IMPORTING AN UNDERCLASS, even many of their US-Born kids end up in poverty. This may sound Non-PC, but like it or Not Blacks and Hispanics, will and are becoming this Nations Underclass, quite frankly the "powers" that be don't give a frigging Sh*t (READ - The Demon-Rats and increasingly Kissy-Ass*d Pres. Bush).

This CAN "POTENTIALLY" create large scale Socio-Economic Balkanization/Fragmentation in the US. Particularly in the S/West where theres a LARGE & Pre-Dominantly POOR Hispanic, population, and also many of our Big Cities will become
"A tale of 2 Cities" Like many 3rd World Nations (AKA-Latin America) you will get the Rich/Midd-Class (Affluent) areas and the Dirt Poor Ghettos/Barrios, this is sad but unless
a radical and conservative effort is taken in the next
15 years Max I believe it will be inevitable and PERMANENT.

Once again this is a Bit Un-PC (but this would not be Free-repulic if it was) but I see Americas future as the Following from a Socio-Econoical point of view:

> Whites, Asians, East Indians "Most Arabs" and
Inter-Ethnic Peoples (lots of Inter-Ethnic
marriages/unions between White, Hispanics & Asians)
will integrate and become the super-majority" of the
Middle/Upper and Affluent Classes in the USA.

> The Vast Majority of Hispanics (Indio Dominant-Mestizos
& mulattoes) & Blacks (african americans) will become
this nations LARGELY POOR & "Underclass" Population.
**Please Note you need to understand that with Mexicos
Immigrants America is taking the Poorest of the Poor.
The Average Mex-Immigrant has barely a 9th Grade
Education, they Don't Value Education Highly, MANY of
their kids simply do not make it, the ones who do
Integrate and Inter-Mary at High Rate (50% approx) and
thus loose the connection to their "Raza"


Merry Xmas & a Great 2003 to all you Freepers.

Thanks !!!

The underclass expresses a consistent pathological worldview in respect to work. In 1980 Richard Freeman found that 75% of the underclass who were unemployed said they could easily get a job, but hamburger flipping, check out clerking and other low paid jobs were not for them.

Wish I had a dollar for everytime some tempworker asked me how to get hired on fulltime (pull your pants up, nobody cares about your underwear, learn to speak ENG-I-LISH, you're not in the hood) cause they're here to work (three days later they're gone)
