McCamy Taylor: John Sununu's White Trash Moment

Few days old, but no less timely or to the point:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/28/1151439/-John-Sununu-s-White-Trash-Moment


First, I want to clarify something. There is no such thing as White Trash (noun)---poor or otherwise---just as there is no such thing as Evil Incarnate, the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus. Folks are folks. They can be nice one moment and shitty the next. They love some people and hate some others. They have positive qualities and negative qualities----and, depending upon their circumstances, their negative qualities can become virtues and their positive ones can become liabilities.

However, there is such a thing as white trash (verb), as in to blame one’s loss on someone else’s race or ethnicity. Recently, we witnessed former New Hampshire governor and current Romney pit bull, John Sununu demonstrate how white trashing is done.



...I miss seeing her thoughts at the right side of the home page, here at D.U. Thanks, McCamy. Very glad to see that you're still jotting down what's on your mind.
