It is tough growing up poor and white. The blacks beat you up and call you cracker and won't let you play basketball with them because you "can't jump." The middleclass whites beat you up and call you a redneck because you are poor and the upper-class whites and blacks beat you up and call you poor white trash or trailer trash and wonder why you are not rich due to your "white privilege." If you work hard and do well in school...then you can apply for aid to the Negro college fund or the Hispanic college fund so you can go to college and better your life....but, like many programs for the poor...they will tell you that "whites need not apply." It is comforting to know that you got that "white privilege" thing working for yopu when you are cleaning toilets or working in the fields.
