Feather not dot, I will use that one. Yes, white trash is the same as any other trash.I worked alongside one of the lightest-skinned black Marines in DC. He was also one of the most militant. We actually got along (he made fun of every other race constantly), but sometimes we had to work graveyard shifts together. Then, we'd have long-dragged out debates about most of the topics we see here in the 'Pit. I'm not one to let an MSNBC talking point to go unchallenged.
At one point, our debate got into crime statistics and prison populations. I started to research (we always started internet searching during a graveyard shift debate) prison populations. The stupid bureau of prisons and other gub'ment sites lumped hispanics in with whites in regard to prisoner numbers. I had to go to a separate site to determine the number of hispanics currently incarcerated.
The numbers didn't lie. When I did my little search and stats drop (per capita), blacks were seven times more likely to be currently incarcerated than whites.
All that being said; Where I currently live, the overwhelming majority of criminals are white trash, Indians (feather not dot), or a combination of those two. I dislike white trash as much as anything else.
