The Uber-Underclass

America's political system is coming apart. Cities are once again burning because of the plight of what an older class of liberals used to call the underclass. They don't use that term anymore, and not just because lefties have to refresh their terminology to keep the educated class they have wrapped around their media from realizing that the ideology they treat as progressive dates is older than the telegraph, but because the underclass consists of ghetto kids making nothing and NBA players. When the star of an HBO series is out there protesting on the front lines, when the sons and daughters of millionaires go to war with cops who couldn't afford to buy their shoes with a week's salary, when Black Lives Matter, an organization backed by the Ford Foundation, one of the country's wealthiest institutions, organizes the burning and looting of family shops, the underclass is a laughable term.
