White Trash

704 Houser Street has a great post up about white trash. Here is a sample:

. . . It’s a myth to think White Trash and Poor White Trash are the same thing. White Trash might be poor or they might not. The Kennedy’s of Massachusetts aint poor, but they White Trash.

Just to explain: Old man Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger, not a bad start on the white trash road. His kids went into politics, a profession full of ignorant white trash. One boy, in a drunken stupor, drowned a girl he knocked up in his car. Ted Kennedy might never stood on his front porch and screamed to the mailman “where’s my check”, but he’s made it possible for millions of others to do it. Proof positive in my book, that they is a family of white trash and white trash enablers.

Truer words were never spoken.
