Another thing, when you're actually poor you try to hide/downplay it because you get bullied otherwise by your fellow "poor" people who are middle class pretending.

Also, specifically about trailer homes I tried to hide the fuck out of living in one for years and years.

Too bad for me small towns know everything and I got bullied for being poor and I never considered being a wh*te supr*m*cist bc of that bc it's not about being poor at all.

The people who were bullying me for being poor are the same ones who claim "poorness" to excuse racism.

If you really want to be poor come take this duct tape holding the walls of this trailer home together and the mold and the draft and the not owning the land it's on, come on, you're poor, right?

Come take the illnesses the mold contributed to also, you want to be poor, right?

No, you don't, so stop playing pretend.

And yes, ofc I'm aware multiple genuine poor scenarios are different from mine, I know my story isn't the end-all be-all.

I'm just saying what's been deep down waiting to be said for many years coming now.

If I photographed this home so many of you would wonder how I live here, maybe I will when I can get over the still lingering embarrassment from the bullying bc I was poor from people just /knowing/ I lived how I did, but I do want to showcase it one day, just still painful.

I'm already doing amazing admitting I live in a trailer home and a broken down one at that, bc this world is so cruel to us who live in homes we get no choice in, then y'all act like you care about us later, as if.

I'm starting to own it bc if I do you can't use it against me.

I have someone on here to thank for that but it would be weird to tag and they don't follow, but being poor, loudly, or discussing your poor past, loudly, or your poor present, loudly, makes other poor people feel good, makes us feel welcome as we should be.

I was so ashamed until someone else was like "fuck that" & that energy changed a lot for me, most poor people are conditioned to be ashamed of their circumstances.

Anyways, I'm rambling, so I'll end this very clearly, regardless of actually being poor it doesn't make you racist!
