There are white trash, black trash, red and yellow trash...there are also great people of all color who are great people.
I've been called white trash and trailer trash...back on another forum one old hag used it constantly...until I found out she lived in a double wide in West Virginia....oh boy was that a red letter day on that forum when I dropped the hammer LOL
What is interesting in the article is it attacks the assumption that wealthy, urban, educated, “classy” white people cant be racist but poor, rural, southern white people must be.
Anyone can be racist, someone once asked me if people are born racist, I think it's learned somehow. On here I'm constantly called a racist but I don't judge on skin color, I judge on integrity and character
If I were racist I wouldn't work with our Outreach and I'd struggle with dealing with associates of my husband. Just last weekend we entertained a new associate and his wife, both black and we had a very good time. His future is promising
Anyone can be racist but anyone did not enforce their racism in this nation by making laws but one race.
I've read your posts...be very careful ever labeling anyone a racist
I don't use the the term "trailer trash" because people living in this form of housing may be poor and this is the most form of housing they can afford. However, the term "white trash" implies that the person clearly identifies with being "white," and has racist and hoodlum tendencies. trump and pence are white, are rich, and they clearly have racist and hoodlum tendencies; thus they qualify as as "white trash."
I've had the pleasure of meeting VP Pence, he's in no way "white trash"
In fact I met him at a homeless shelter during a deep freeze that paralyzed the city and he and his wife showed up to help feed at meal time.
