...than brown.

many of the southerners pre-civil rights were also "white trash." but all believed themselves to be better than brown people because they held the position of privilege in the country at that time. they held the rights--and some will always look back to that as the measure.

ask a white supremacist if white "trash" is better than "brown"? guess how he/she would respond.

you have to look at it from the position of privilege.
look at media reports. last i checked there is still a "black on black crime"....still no "white on white crime" though such crimes are committed everyday.




sorry--edited for clarity. :)
