......please don't sit here and try to tell me that words like "white trash" are used on the same level as the other. That is ridiculous. I don't know what TV you watch....but I can't remember when I heard the term "white trash" being used regularly in the media or outside of it.

And we know you are the measure for all that happens and exist. Your experiences don't dictate all of americas. You claim to hear the N-word on a daily basis and say most blacks use the term, when you have heard several blacks on here say we don't, but are quick to discount our exeperience. I grew up hearing White trash and PWT all of the time and matter of fact just heard on TV the other night if not last night. The term was used to demean a group of people such as the n-word. Heck I've heard whites say being PWT is the same as being a n-word.

I am not claiming anything....stop putting fucking words in my mouth. I never discounted anyone's "experience." That is why I said, more than once, that I was referring to the use of the word on a much wider scale, not so much at the personal level. I am glad that the 4 or 5 people who said they don't use that word spoke up.....thats great. I'm happy for yall.

I am white......and I don't think it is as bad as calling a black man a n***** at all, period.

Are you getting frazzeld with the cursing?
And just because you don't thinks its as bad as the n-word there are some whites that think it is just as bad.
