Came from a VERY poor family mother w/8 kids on welfare. I heard those words so many times growing up
“I believed them”, I identified with them. We were all called that, relatives who thought they were better than us, by neighbors, at school by other kids and I even heard it from adults out in public. I heard from every race out there, but mostly from white people. People would move away from me, like I had a disease that they would catch if they got to close. Then you grow up with that in your head and people tell you to movie on, some the very same people who treated you like you trash……….

    i been called lazy white trash by several family members that have more money then me.some said why are you working retail when you are a grown adult etc.i noticed the ones that called me white trash would go around and gossip about everyone behind their backs etc.i no longer care about what they think.it took a few years of counseling for me to stop caring about what they say about me.i’d rather be white trash then a bitch like some of my heartless family members are.also i have epilepsy so my family makes fun of me about that also.i hardly talk to my family any more.nobody has called me white trash but my family
