That is what I was talking about. People grouped up and put into certain areas but also the fact it seems like the incentive for politicians is to create programs that seem to be good for certain groups, but only really make those groups more dependent on the government. It may not be realistic, but I think that we can't have equality if the systems in place by the government make certain groups dependent. I am all for helping people, I grew up poor and my family needed help, I just hate it when the "help" eventually turns into something that doesn't help people to become independent and free, and instead makes them dependent on a government.
I know welfare wasn't created to be a racist system, I studied government in college, I am just saying that in a way it has created a section of society that is "second class". Nobody says that it exists, and we wouldn't want it to because we don't want to be like that but, for the majority, the system creates dependence, not opportunities for exiting it.
