Yes I do realise that and in many ways drug addicts and lifetime welfare users are let down by the state. It’s also probably an unfair characterisation by me as the reality is the truly horrific abuse can be from wealthy people (for example the evil 8) But I fully back my daughter in wanting to expend her efforts on people who want to be helped and not those that are actively resistant to any intervention regarding abuse of their kids.

There’s a lot of bs out there being received as news by a lot of people: I legit wonder where the people who “don’t trust the news” get their news. As several people pointed out, I wasn’t questioning the veracity of the original story, but your post identifying the victim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,439 #331 December 28, 2024 A. By “not really” I meant not really appropriate. I’m sorry I didn’t make that clear B. I took out the color identifier deliberately. People of all colors and ages live in trailers; sometimes it’s a practicality issue, sometimes it’s a cost issue. In rural America, trailers are often where the poor people live. Wendy P.

Be careful how you use that term "trailer trash." I was proud to become "trailer trash" when I moved out of my Volkswagen van and into a 30-year-old trailer in the Perris Valley "Ghetto" trailer park. A drug-dealer lived across the dirt street from me and another drug dealer lived behind me. It was the quietest and safest neighborhood I ever lived in. If you want to know more about how the USA oppresses poor white folks, read the book "White Trash, the 400 untold story about class in America" written by Nancy Isenberg. In short, the book tells us that American elite enjoy oppressing and exploiting the poorest and care little about the colour of their skin. The most perverse part of that is the thousands of poor whites who died defending the Confederacy only to find them competing economically with recently released black slaves after the American Civil War. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 798 #348 December 28, 2024 I use the expression "Fucking white people" when in public as I see white people being either racist or celebrating their white privilege in a minority's face. It tends to get a shocked response from the fucking white people, and a deep laugh from those being oppressed by the fucking white people. Growing up in poor neighborhoods with a fair amount of police activity sure showed a LOT of racism and white privilege. Systemic racism in America continues to keep minorities trapped "where they should be" - according to white wingers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
