As they did where I grew up in West Virginia.
However, white trash was not applied broadly to
everybody who was white,poor and lived in a trailer
home (or worse). It was a term reserved more for what
most LBOers might call the white "lumpen proleteriat"
:) That's the difference...at least, where I grew up.
BTW, where in Virginia do you live?
-Thomas
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
