I've never heard the term "wigger" before so I looked up the meaning. Interesting. BTW all3, if "udderly ridiculous" was intentional, you made me laugh.
My family was always referred to as poor white trash and Florida crackers by others. Hell, we used the terms to describe ouselves and, to this day, I still think of myself as both, without any embarrassment. We were poor, white, rural, living in the South, had a very low standard of living and no one in my family (I was the first) had higher education. The historical definitions fit so why run away from them?
Growing up the way I did, I never saw much difference between black and white. Poor is poor no matter what color your skin is. We were all the same, living in the same conditions, eating with the same food stamps and buying clothes at the same thrift stores. The real differences are between lower, middle and upper class...a difference in lifestyle, culture, ideology, values, priorities.
Skin color is a convenient excuse to distract people from what really separates us at our core.
so, miami...what DOES separate us at our cores? Obviously we all (or at least most of us do) have our own brains and we all (or at least most of us do) use them differently. We all have our own opinions (or at least most of us do..some of us just take other people's opinions as our own), thoughts and morals. So, is that what what you say separates us at our cores? To me, at our cores, we are all the same.
