While I was growing up in the South (oh, geez, here he goes again with one of his “southern” rants!) we were taught ALL about the various “kinds” of people which were surrounding us – I’m only going to mention TWO, this morning, however.
There was the “Poor White Trash”. These people are represented by Mr. Danziger’s cartoon. P.W.T. were looked down upon but were usually not totally condemned for it was understood that, while they were “mostly” responsible for their plight, it was acknowledged that external circumstances played a part in their situation
The group that we mostly condemned was the group referred to simply as “White Trash” or “Rich White Trash”! These people were harder to pick out of a crowd – they were descerned by their “lack of…” Lack of education, lack of manners, lack of class, lack of culture, lack of couth, lack of language skillsthe list goes on and on. Basically, anyone who had the ABILITY to improve their lot in life and refused to take the steps to do so were considered “White Trash”. This id the category into which Donald John Trump falls: R.W.T. Because, you see, what Donnie has achieved didn’t take skill – it just took LUCK! Any moron, any idiot can get lucky. There has never been ANY evidence of the slightest amount of skill in any of his few accomplishments, to date! Even he admits to enjoying being surrounded by chaos – that the “luck” talking, not skill!
Donnie MAY be “Rich White Trash” but the last two words in his description define him, the first, “rich” is simply a ‘modifier’!
