As a boomer, in my early adult life I took the pejorative term to mean people who were poor and uneducated, who didn't RISE above their born 'station'. By my early 30s, I realized that was grossly unfair as many simply had no means or ability to gain the education that could raise them up and out of their station. They could start and die in low wage jobs with little chance of movement if they couldn't break that educational hurdle OR couldn't afford the gas or rent a truck to move.
30 years of wage stagnation, shipping jobs overseas, employers who look at 'WORKERS' as an 'expense item' on a balance sheet, and find themselves one broken arm, an appendix removal or heart attack from TOTAL RUIN. And more and more of middle class are at the edge of vortex ready to be sucked in.
By my late 30's I started hearing the term WHITE TRASH as a pejorative used by WHITES about WHITES to mean behavior and choices. It had become as much about dignity, integrity, decency no matter how much income or education one had. Too much flash, too much ostentation, too loud, too much strutting, too much skin, too many gold chains. Just too much. And it didn't matter whether they lived in Palm Beach or the next mobile home park over. The poor are the poor. No matter your station you can be trashy or not. White TRASH is a choice. (I'm glad I learned that lesson pretty early).
I think the PINNACLE is Trump! It didn't think it was inevitable but maybe so. A CRASS billionaire, who for 30 years ripped off the very people described in the first 2 paragraphs. A 'puncher down'! A trashy WHITE guy who had mob members, criminals, pedophiles, the shady, the "deplorables" and as it turns out, courted the same (along with murderers) from other countries.
He stuck his face in front of every camera that was pointed at him and when they weren't he CALLED THEM for to garner more attention. Aliases, fake businesses, fake wealth, ripoffs, bankruptcies, Playmates, strippers, affairs, babies out of wedlock, divorces, more affairs, and more bankruptcies.
At 35 now 70, he was always WHITE TRASH.

Stop posting threads like this. It makes rubes and white trash like him more.

White trash means White Ni88er.
Don't kid yourself. It's a racist slur aimed at white poor ... by rich white liberals that think they are better than everyone else.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

Donald Trump has some fun pimping out like a baller, ... and you call him a White Ni88er.

It may have been from people like TRUMP and his daddy. I'm telling you if you were PAYING ATTENTION, and likely you WEREN'T, it took on a more nuanced definition.
Historically you are correct, it was a differentiation from WHITES who considered those negroes, the REAL trash.

Wow, perhaps you need to start hanging out with a different 'class' of people--white and black.
The ultimate irony of the OP is so many liberals ask working class whites who support Trump what do you have in common with him...
