Meh...this conversation is going nowhere... Some people just refuse to be responsible for themselves, they're weak and just want to blame others for their lack of success!
So all they have is trying to annoy people with childish name-calling. ...and even that bothers them when they can't get a reaction!
Sad!
They are taught from when they were born that they are owed. The parents didn't do them any favors because the people who hang onto these teachings remain poor. It never occurs to them to say I believe what I am taught but .. ok, if that is the case I will do it despite you.
No they would rather complain and whine and they will wait for a better life till the day they die. Hasn't worked for them up till now and won't work in the future.
As for the name calling, if it makes you feel better go for it. It proves nothing and does nothing for you. So what is the point of name calling anyway... an attempt to make you feel better about yourself or another to feel bad? ok, isn't working then.
The "n" word has a long history of pain and disrespect that white people will never understand......so now they say they get offended by words such as crackers or racist.... now I can understand the crackers term...but racist is by far true about many white people.......note their may be some black racist.....but never to the extent of whites how they were in the past and how they are now.....for.blacks are the ones that had and have to today tolerate blunt racism from many white peers.....or have many of you forgotten emmett till, james byrd, medgar evers, trayvon martin, jeffery davis, and the many lunchings that occurred branded with being nothing but a Ni**er
There is a young Korean shop keeper who is exposed to a lot of poor white people...He assumes if you are not wealthy and white that you are white trash. He attempted to lay the label on me and I had to educate the guy. I found it very offensive. Some shallow people judge the worth and class of a person by how much money they have and not the culture they possess.
It was made in the first place to project white people as 'noble' and 'above it all,' which is complete bull.
Like i said in my first post in this thread over a year ago, white people DO and WILL get offended if you slur them just like everyone else will. They aren't androids (despite certain poster's best attempts to make it look that way) and they have the same damn feelings as everyone else.
Just because whites may hold a certain position in this society that puts them on top, that doesn't give you the right to verbally abuse them in a way that you wouldn't do others. They SHOULD get offended, and don't get mad should they slap the hell out of you for being stupid.
I don't believe in that double standards nonsense. I won't as a black person lay down for a racial slur by any means, and neither should they.
Because they don't have giant chips on their shoulders.
Think about it...
Nonsense. And that chip is just as big if not bigger.

Absolutely right. White people get offended as hell if you slur them, just like everyone else does. This idea that white folks are a bunch of robots is bull.

White Trash is a very real phenomenon, I know people that wear that label with pride.
Yea, sure.
Still, it's one thing to be called something by someone of your own race/culture and having an outsider do the same thing. It's not the same.
It's no different than a black person (who i'm familiar with) using the N word with me, and having a white person use it. It ain't the same no matter how you slice it.
If a black or other non-white person refers to a white person as 'white trash,' they're gonna be p*ssed off about it, and i don't give a damn how much you protest to the contrary....it's a fact.
Now what happens after that is another issue, but the initial response will damn sure be anger. Period, point blank.
Nonsense. And that chip is just as big if not bigger.
Yet you see little to no reaction compared to the self-important outrage expressed at those who use the N word.
