No i said "almost" anyone. Geeze... Learn how to read Zadadka, you're making things up again. And no, my attitude didn't change, yours did.
Yes, you did say "almost", I apologise for the oversight.
I don't make things up eldragonfly, but I can make mistakes like anyone else, feel free to point any out...but if you're going to revert to the insults as a vehicle for doing so, we're done here.
I'll give it one more go :
...so how do you define who is not white trash amongst the whites then?

Originally posted by eldragonflystatistics don't lie, but niether do they tell the truth. Of the violent crimes commited by blacks in America, how many of them came from homes, or were raised in homes below the poverty level? Most of them.
Wrong. Crime stats don't lie.
The simple truth, is that poverty is the root cause of most crime, after that come crimes of passion, then sex, then greed, blacks have been convicted of the last 3 at the same rate as whites, or any other segment of the population.

Originally posted by darvlayI was stationed in Okinawa for 3 years, after which, I lived there as a civilian for another 18 months. Many Japanese are xenophobes, so as a white person, I have experienced racism in a situation where I was without "stature" or "authoruty". It changed the way I think about race.
I wonder how many here have actually been victims of racism?
In my home town, I constantly dealt with ridicule and being singled out because of my heritage. Anyone else?
