Author Wilson calls the exodus of black middle class and working families from neighborhood ghettos as the "removal of a social buffer" for the underclass. Do you agree with this supposition and the potential implications he purports (particularly as it relates to schooling and education in the urban setting)? Also, do you agree with his position about supporting the usage of the word "underclass"?
