Well said, Janie. Somehow this discussion went from poverty to racisim but it is our socio-economic system that creates an underclass. By now, we should all know that if you classify people according to gender, race or class; its the women in every group who are the most frequent victims of poverty. Thats why I say that if we truly want to help, we must focus our energy on helping the women.

Healthy and happy women produce healthy and happy children.
