The term white trash first came into common use in the 1830s as a pejorative used by house slaves against poor whites. In 1833 Fanny Kemble, an English actress visiting Georgia, noted in her journal: The slaves themselves entertain the very highest contempt for white servants, whom they designate as poor white trashDon't kid yourself; Black slaves didn't invent the term. Slave-owners encouraged slaves to look down on poor whites so they would be more satisfied with their lot. They did the same with the poor whites, teaching them to hate Blacks and hiring them to serve as their "patter rollers" (slave patrols). It began in the seventeenth century as a "divide and rule" strategy and it's still working.

All people really ARE created equal.
Slaves and poor people can develop their own bad behavior without instruction from rich or white people.
