-Caveat Lector-
Unlike the White classist, he can't hop into his spare car or rent one while
his is in the shop. He sweats over paying the bills if he loses one day working, while
the classist can take the entire year off and still live in the style he is
accustomed to. He has not the luxury to attend environmental meetings twice a week
because he is busy figuring out when he has to take the cattle off the land without
damaging the soil. He has no medical insurance, and can't get state aid because his
income is right above the poverty level. And half or more of his pay check goes to
support the blacks who don't work at all; but live off of his labor.
This, while the classist can afford plastic surgery when he needs a tuck.
Contrast this to the poor White man whom he calls a redneck because he doesn't have
a clue what it's like to work outdoors in 100+ degree temperatures. The elitist has
air conditioning and doesn't worry about heat stroke and whether he should accept an
expensive ambulance ride. His insurance covers that and, if not, it is no sweat.
Speaking of ambulances, the poor White rural guy has to wait for emergency
vehicles to COMMUTE to an accident scene, while the White elitist wrings his hands
over an alleged two minute discrepancy between inner city and suburban emergency
services.
The rural White gets to watch as the National Guard is called out to look for
rich city hikers when they get themselves lost in the hills or when their canoes
overturn while rafting on holiday.
The economically disadvantaged White rural schools are in disrepair, and
there is no busing to better districts. There is little funding for rural schools and
no race advocacy groups to complain about it. Rural moms (yes, even rednecks have
children to care for) may be at work two hours in the other direction. So, they can't
just pop into PTA meetings. They do not the luxury of worrying about feminism. They
understand and appreciate how hard their husbands works and have no problem cooking
dinner for them.
Their lives are not like the elitists' who pops into the gym and into happy
hour after working in an air-conditioned office for a fraction of the time the rural
woman works. It is a life of hardship, sacrifice, biting their lips when they wants to
curse their husbands and keeping their sanity.
The elitist doesn't concern himself with the icy roads or the buses carrying
rural White children to school and doesn't see fit to put up guardrails in windy
areas. The rural working mom does worry about these things, but doesn't have
flex-time. The snotty elitist cares nothing that many of the roads are NOT PAVED AT
ALL, while he whines about potholes in inner cities. He never gets stuck in red mud on
the way home 20 times a year. If he has ever been stuck in mud while recreating, he
has a hundred grand Range Rover to get him out! God how many white people hate these
people!
THE WHITE TRASH Suicide and emotional despair are common in rural areas.
The isolation is unbearable if coupled with alcoholism, powerlessness, lack of job
opportunities and loneliness. If one wants to tackle the problem of substance abuse
and alcoholism (common in these areas), good luck. Without transportation to work
programs or AA meetings (if your driver's licence is taken away) which are an hour or
more away, the only alternative is jail time.
Families are devastated, lives are ruined and there are no programs except
welfare to help. No midnight basketball to keep the youth out of trouble. No
well-meaning rich liberals hovering over them asking how they can help. OUTER CITY
YOUTH.
At least, the Black man is close to public transportation. He has many groups
of all races trying to aid him. He has access to programs for troubled inner-city
kids. Outer city kids have no such thing. White teens have the highest suicide rate of
all ethnic groups, but we have to hear this in the context of What can we do for
Black boys, because they are edging toward the White suicide rate.
When we hear of shootings in the inner city, they are followed up with public
meetings about how to solve the drug and violence problem for Blacks and Browns. White
kids are not considered at risk because of the assumption that they are all wealthy
and privileged. When a White kid is involved in a shooting, the community looks for
signs of White racism, and even when it is proven false, they continue to demonize
these kids instead of asking how they can help.
What is the root of the problem? Why no race-specific programs for them? Only
repressive means are suggested when a White child goes berserk and they always center
around curbing our first two constitutional amendments. WITCH HUNT FOR WHITE
ELITISTS? Many correctly blame White liberals for all of this. They taught us how to
hate. We are an equal opportunity hater, but are
