I'm gonna try to stop using terms like "redneck" and "white trash" because they only exist to demonize the lower class and make the rest of us feel better about ourselves. We're all brothers, bro.

On the flip side, I find it upsetting when I’m judged for being so goddamn stupid in matters all things practical. I rarely meet anyone who can’t do all kinds of **** I can’t do. I respect that they can do things I can’t. It’s cool when the respect is mutual. Going from a teacher to a cook has allowed me more access with the working poor and as far as I can tell they typical seafood delivery guy is smarter that the typical teacher. When it’s 6:30 AM on a Sunday the dude with fish nods his respect when he sees us already busting our asses to prepare for the day. I might be little off point but dig this. I was a janitor when I was in college. I worked 5-9 AM before classes on campus and these supposed Marxist professors would file a report instead of talking to me if I missed their second garbage can. When I was a teacher other teachers always bitched about the custodians not cleaning their rooms. We even got emails encouraging us to report shoddy work. No matter if they cleaned my room or not I always reported they did excellent work. When other teachers bitched I mentioned that we made three times or more income. I almost always heard that doesn’t matter. Well guess what. It does ****ing matter.
