WHITE TRASH

Message 1391 of 3800

How would you define? Do you define in financial, regional, brehavioral terms? What about someone like Donald Trump? He has the right address, finances, but yet something about him seems"trashy" to me.. Your toughts please!

Always wondered about this myself...loud, rude, into drama, few values/morals, people who get into physical fights, don't take care of their property or themselves indicates trash to me, white or otherwise

I've known a lot of white poor people here in Oklahoma that I would NOT consider white trash, so I don't think finances are a consideration

I agree Kelly...being poor does not make you trashy...your demeanor, the way you care for yourself and others and your attitude make you 'poor white trash".

Now if you are just talkin 'trash' there are plenty of rich folks who are just beyond trashy in their attitude and manner IMHO.

White Trash is always the family down the road that you don't like. And, of course, they do likewise.

One state's white trash is another state's redneck.

I know a gal who came from a rual coal mining area of PA. She joined the service and maybe reinvented herself, never talked of her previous life. Lovely person, 'proper' in everyway. she knew who and what she wanted inspite of where she began. When she started dating a doctor (DDS) she kept it equal, paid her own way, I lost tract after they got married.
'Trash' is on every strata and enery culture, I agree with Marly - it is attitude and lifestyle, how you treat yourself as well as others.

where i grew up i suppose i was considered trash to some and what was bad those worse off than us most others avoided(might spred the trashy germ). it never bothered me much and you nature and grow.confounding how others that do better later on will look down their noses at those less fortunate.

The Donald has all that money and still has the world's worst comb over. Is he white trash...I don't know. I don't much care for the term myself, not sure what it really means.
