The words "white trash" was continually spouted out during KKK rally and marches. It was a way of labeling a white person who befriended blacks. They often were poor themselves and lived in old run down trailer parks.

White trash is another name for people who can't afford what the average families have. People who live in Trailer Parks or Mobile Home parks are people who have no other financial means to purchase a nice new , stick built home, most of them are dems who go to work everyday so that the repubs can sit in thier offices and drink coffee and gossip around the water cooler everyday. Then hit the country club for some golf and booze. And don't you forget it.

I honestly didn't understand the point you are trying to make nor did I get the part of exactly what questions do you need answers to.
However, you alluded that it is so wrong to live in trailer parks. Like it's the pits or even worse, the lowest of the low. I have several friends living in trailer parks and I tell you, they are happy people, with decent jobs and paying taxes like you and I.
You are entitled to your opinions but please refrain from making unfair generalizations.

The term 'white trash' has evolved to mean essentially what the 'N-word' means to black people. Honestly, I don't think either word should be associated with a certain group or race. They both denote a state of mind rather than a race or status, in my opinion. Unfortunately, they are and I don't think that is going to change any time soon.
As to who came up with it...who knows. Probably someone who felt they were better than someone else.

Weak people have to resort to labelling in order to vent their anger toward others. White Trash\Trailer park trash, are simply labels that some people who demand tolerance for themselves throw at others. Perhaps they'd be more successful at fighting intolerance by exhibiting a little more tolerance.

Because most of America between the Coasts is a third worlid country where people make less than a lot of other countries. Yet they spout about how superior America is.
Face it. If you haven't $100,000 in the bank you can't go to another country and buy a house.

maybe a person should think about the person calling people
white trash. I think they probably dont have a life of their own
so they try to mess with others. And the trailer thing maybe its
a choice of what they choose to live in. Did you ever think that maybe that's why they were give a choice.

I don't know where the saying came from. I think people live in trailer parks because it can be cheaper than buying or owning a house.
