Quoted:
IF by "white trash" you mean "down to earth country boy" then you can count me in. If , on the other hand, you mean "trailer trash" then that's not me. In my way of thinking "white trash" means people that are on government assitance and live in a trailer, they don't take a bath regular, don't keep their place clean and, in general, are a bad example of the way a person of any color should live. I'm not trying to hack on ya', I know this is all in fun but I think we just need a clarifacation on the definition of what it is we're all talking about. Generally I'd say that I'm just a plain, simple country boy that likes trucks, good 'shine, sitting by the fire cleaning my guns and watching HOCKEY(the greatest game on earth), hope ya'll have a Happy Turkey Day. Talk at ya'll later. View Quote |

From the introduction to my favorite recipe book:
There's white trash and there's White Trash. Manners and pride separate the two. Common white trash has very little in the way of pride, and no manners to speak of, and hardly any respect for anybody or anything. But where I come from in North Florida you never failed to say "yes ma'm" and "no sir", never sat on a made-up bed (or put your hat on it), never opened someone elses's icebox, never left food on your plate, never left the table without permission, and never forgot to say "thank you" for the teeniest favor. That's the way the ones before us were raised and that's the way they raised us in the South. Ernest Matthew Mickler View Quote And another short discourse on the subject: There is white trash and then there is White Trash. Those in the lower-case category would never on earth admit to the charge; while just about every honest, uncouth American is eager to become deified with capital letters in the latter guise. Jonathan Williams View Quote |

Quoted: I think there is a huge difference between white trash and not giving a fuck. White trash doesn't know any better. Not giving a fuck knows better but doesn't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. The best thing I ever did was stop caring if people liked me or not and quit trying to meet the expectations of others. The kinda people who find this shit important are usually not very good people anyway and this is all they really have. Not giving a fuck keeps those kinds of people out of my life.

Quoted: Quoted: White Trash = the equivilent of what they call black, latinos, and any other ethnic lowlife. Something of which I am not. I never have been white trash. I think the definitive White Trash stigma belongs to those idiots who show up on the Jerry Springer Show, or any show that is similar in nature. Another trait of White Trash is a person who spends 30K or more on a vehicle, but lives in a run down trailer or who is a renter. Personally after lurking for a few months off and on and finally joining a few days ago I decided to choose this thread for my first posting. Why? Because after spending a few days reading a lot of the threads and replies I've determined that there are a lot of members in here who qualify for White Trash status. Which doesn't speak well for the gun community as a whole. Education is the key to not becoming or bein White Trash. Fortunately for me I am well educated and my family raised me well. Flame on if you wish, but I only answered your question as honestly as I could. View Quote With an attitude like that you're not going to last very long. It's a shame that all your fancy-type book learnin didn't teach you shit about people. I have a master's degree in construciton management, and a bachelor's in architectural design, yet some of my best friends, and the coolest damn people I've ever met, are highschool dropouts that don't make half of what I do every year. I strongly suggest you remove your head from your ass before posting again. Are there idiots on this board? You betcha. Is there sometimes a vaccuum of intelligent conversation? sure. Have I complained about both in the past? damn skippy. when you say "my family raised me well" I know that what you mean to say is "my mommy and daddy are very well off and spoiled my pansy-ass growing up. Then they went and paid for me to hide from the real world in college, all the while taking it up the ass from my frat brothers. Now I'm out of school and pretending to work for daddy's business, but they still pay me an allowance." Pull the golden spoon out of your mouth, or you're going to choke on it when one of us punches you in the face. View Quote NORMAN! I AM APPALLED AT YOU! That was such a...a...(dare I say it?) white trash stance to take with your new bro-in-arms. Now make your dog stop humping his leg and say you're sorry. ROFLMAO!!!! |

I find "white trash" to be as offensive as any other racial epithet. The term specifically segregates by race in a disparaging context.
I don't think it is funny, glamourous, clever, cool, enlightened, or any thing else to use the term. It is akin to every other hated word that isn't allowed here at AR15.com. It would be a cold day in hell before my good friend CavVet called himself or any of his black friends and family a "Nigger". It would be an even colder day when he'd sit by and let you call him one. My reaction to "white trash" would be the same. I'm sure this is going to bring a lot of flames, but I just don't see how a self respecting person could refer to themselves in such a manner. My only guess is that many here haven't really thought this through, taking it as a joke. I guess I'm just not funny. |

That one really cracked me up, Sniper_Wolfe. Your condescending retort is surely rooted in your embarassment of being involved in this sophomoric thread.
Knee-jerk, I'm not. Right, I am. Edited to add: I don't mind cracks about education, money, social status, or even Redneck jokes. I do think that jokes based solely on race are inappropriate. I also think that the same guy that bitches he can't get a job because he's a white, heterosexual Christian male shouldn't be telling "white trash" jokes. It really is counterproductive. |

I would define "white trash" as people with no drive to succeed, no hope, and no future other than wondering which kid to pimp out for the month's beer money or something similar. I don't give a fuck what your appearance is; you can be poor as all hell, too, and I won't care.--As long as you are putting forth the effort to better yourself and your situation, you're ok in my book.

Back to the begining of the thread and the original question.
White trash, redneck or hillbilly? Take your pick, on any given day. Tattoos, trucks, bike and most of the other things on ARs list, yep. By some of the definitions you all have listed I am everything nazi skinhead to good ol boy, pretty funny. Am I white trash because I would rather go outside and piss under one of the willow trees then down the hall to the bathroom? Prolly! Am I a redneck because I believe in an eye for an eye and will beat the snot out of someone that deserves it? Yea. Am I A hillbilly as I will take a beating when I deserve it and smile when its over? Most likely. But you know at the end of the day none of that will matter, as I take my boots off the same way that everyone here does, one foot at a time. SAs post on the first page hit it on the head, I just dont give a fuck what people think of me, its not important. My family, thats important. Honor and pride in my country, that is important. Having friends trust, thats important. CH |

Then when I got the post box opened I thought better of it, edited it on the fly. Fast forward and now, come bedtime as I sit and read through things for awhile, I read the damn thread, and I see YOUR post. wt is indeed a racial derogatory remark, BUT, in the modern reverse racism climate, its perfectly acceptable. I am really surprised this one slid by me, as I am quick to point out the reverse male racism to the hairy armpit womens libbers, and often, even today at the thanksgiving table, quick to point out reverse racism (affirm action came up today) against Whites. But slip by me it did, and you are right in your post on all counts. At least when I sleep tomight I know above all else I did learn something today. I get the warm fuzzies when I learn it on ARFCOM.
