Ward 8 Democrats Shelve Official's Ouster Over Slur 'White Trash' Remark

[demdave]

In a meeting that erupted into a shouting match, members of the Ward 8 Democrats voted yesterday to table a motion to remove the group's first vice president from office for calling a new member "poor white trash."



These comments are embarrassing," Kinlow said. "Our party welcomes everyone. We are aware there are increasing tensions between newcomers . . . and blacks and whites in our ward, as in other wards across the city."


Cuthbert called Burgard "poor white trash" and "poor white trailer trash."
