Yes, it's entirely ok in my book. White folks get to criticize their own just like Blacks get to criticize their own. Racism involves stereotyping an entire race, and since I'm not implying that the entire White race has certain attributes, it doesn't qualify as racism, does it?

Well I wouldn't normally have said anything because I generally don't care about political correctness. I just thought it was funny to use a classist statement for a racist family.

What am I allowed to make fun of since i'm only half white? Can I have feelings against 'half white trash?'

People are people, if you classify sections of your own race, then you can only have public opinions about white people. You wouldn't really get away with saying "black trash" so whats the distinction..? I'm sure you could make a valid point against any lower class within a race or religion but you are only allowed to publically express these opinions about your own?

This to me, represents a double standard. I think the only people who get it "right" are comedians who have the license to talk about anyone.. as long as they mention everyone.

The documentary on those girls was certainly interesting. They're very pretty which made their young message very volatile. The radio host said it best, people would hear it and be like, "wait... is that racist? no..?"

It appears the girls are yearning to break free. As if they're waiting for the right opportunity. The grandma has some sort of head on her shoulders, although she's a complete idiot for staying for 40 years.

The rest of the family just shows off how scared they are of differences and how well they can lie to themselves to prove their point. Lie to yourself long enough and you believe it.

I think they said the youngest daughter is 3..and shes not even talking?
I started talking when I was 16 months old and I think you were supposed to be talking by 3... The youngest daughter does seem so cute and innocent right now.

It was so creepy hearing that murdered Lane talking about how the girls went from "daughters" to him to fantasies.

Frankly, I don't give a shit about perceived double standards or political correctness.

A lot of stuff that gets posted on here is stupid, and I'll take issue with it, but I don't take issue with anything just on the basis of it "offending" me. I'm not a Democrat.
