You know what wasn't an element in the Japan Tsunami aftermath? A hugely disproportionate impact on a demographic burdened with a history of 250 years of slavery followed by 180 years of inequality under the law. Your statements that there is a culturally deficient, uncivilized segment of our society reeks of classism, elitism, and thinly veiled racism. Own the slum, the ghetto, the failing inner-city schools. These are American institutions for which we are all responsible for, elite and destitute alike. Class disparities are a product of our institutions and policies. Our welfare programs create a poverty trap. Our justice system breeds alienation. Our schools, ignorance. If people are stupid and unhappy it is your fault and it is my fault. Since you love your country so much, I'm sure you'll help me fix this mess.
