    to naturalglenn:

    Hail fellow bratwurst and sauerkraut afficianado,

    In tracing my family history, I discovered that my paternal gr-gr-grandmother was born in Germany and came to the states around 1840. She married, according to the census, a man from Spain. I can't find what happened to him, presume he died since she remarried.

    My grandmother made a mean dish of sauteed sauerkraut with onions and either sausage or pork chops served over a bed of mashed potatoes with a side of sliced fresh onion. Mmmm .. irresistible!

    Gee Wiz! Should I be offended now that you compared me to dubya?

    I could be . . .

    But, I'm not.


    Because I know I am better than he is.

    Hey, what about what we are called

    Those of us that for whatever reason are living in mobile home parks. Everyone knows we are Trailer Trash! LOL That one has been around a long time and it does not matter what color you are, you are still referred to as trailer trash. Just wish I had a basement so when the tornados come through we won't get sucked to our deaths! Remeber the movie twister and the cows! LOL That was funny. Mooooooooooo

    "Trailerpark Trash".

    I do not live in a mobile home, but I find that term extraordinarily offensive. But then, I find elitism offensive.

    While the expression was around for a long time, we have the Clinton administration to thank for bringing that phrase into common usage. (Was it Paula they labelled as such? It was one of those..)

    I have known many people who lived in mobile homes. In fact, a neighbor of mine who is a multi-millionaire, and raises champion race horses, lives in a double wide.

    The vast majority are decent citizens, holding down jobs, trying their best to get by on wage scales which are being depressed by Illegal Immigrants. These are the segment of our community who are suffering the most from current border policies. These are the "working poor".

    The "Working poor".. people that some call "Trailer trash".

    ROFLMAO

    Good one Watchman! Hell, we will make a southerner out of you yet! LOL

    While I can sort of understand it, not all people that live in mobile home parks do it because they want to. I was married for 22 years (remarried now). I went through pre-med. medical school and residency with my first husband. I worked while he went to school. I was around the medical profession for a long time and learned a few things. I had to take care of literally everything. Put off having kids until my early 30's. I guess what I am trying to say here is this. Just because you live in a trailer does not mean you are a dummy! The lable does however prevent you from getting serious attention from the police, city and state government.

    Been though a lot and survived. This trailer trash woman is tough! LOL

    Thats precisely why I hate when they hang such labels on ya.. they marginalize you.
    That was the purpose of the label when they hung it on Paula Jones.
    Yeah.. the self proclaimed "champions of the underclass" did a good one when they mainstreamed that label.

    Of course those same people would NEVER use such demeaning terms as "trash" to describe those living in Low Income Housing on the dole. The welfare poor we must be sensitive to but if your the working poor, helping put food on the welfare poor's table, then you are "trash".

    But then again, around here, most of the Low Income Housing is occupied by mexicans, and there is no room for low income Americans.
