“North Carolina... “the first white trash colony.””

Only so from the perspective they were not Virginia gentry.

“But White Trash in my book is just “poor dad” stuff. I have the oldest car in my area, I wear used clothes from the salvation army and I rent a house. But I also own a software company and invest feverishly. Ya look at me, and I fit the description for white trash.”

You’re crazy. Crazy like a fox!

Vance’s book... A lot of truth in it.

The best one I gathered from the reviews was his grandmother telling him never to think of himself as a victim.

Nice work if you can get it! (The pay anyway.)

My parents were meth heads and were trailer trash for sure. Frankly, I am too and some of my choices in life have not been ideal and I know it.

And I’m voting for Trump because while my family caused its own problems the Democrat’s social workers, welfare programs, drug programs, and child protective services people only made our problems worse.

See, it doesn’t take a village; it takes God, a family, and a church.
