“Pretty’s too much work, opt for clean.”
HISTORY:
“White Trash,” was used as a racial slur to describe certain low income Caucasians, especially those characterized by crude manners or low moral standards, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, our History teacher Mrs. Armstrong quoted.

“White Trash,” first came into common use in the 1830’s as an American prerogative used by slaves of “Gentlemen,’’ (Rich white southerners often plantation aristocrats against poor whites who worked the fields).

Mama once told me that Passage is the sum-total of one’s life, and there are many roads offered in this life. We often wonder if we should take the easier road or fight the fight. The sum total of all our roads brings us to where we eventually end our journey. The journey can be anything we want it to be. One’s awareness of life will carry them to their end and beyond.

Without my Mama’s strong will to succeed, this book would never have been born. Mama’s will to rise above the so-called stigma, “White Trash,” that was tagged upon her at birth, and how she pushed all of us to be sometimes, (I think) better then we could be.
