As the academic and cultural elites would tell it, history is a tale of oppression, and the Haves and Have-Nots are readily discernible, for they can be recognized on racial grounds. But what about the white poor?
Well said, Sarah! Thanks for sticking up for the poor white folk. Your description of these "goings on" is well articulated (as usual) and certainly shows the culture that seems to get all of the attention, but not in the way it has been treated in the past! Tying this in with how we were created and are children of God is hopeful for the "poor white trash" as Johnny Cash used to sing.
Hi Sarah, it's pathetic how history is being twisted. There are plenty of books that tell the history of poor white children, especially in your home country of England. I have a few books on the slave trade in England and how they shipped the poor white English and Irish around the world as slaves. You never see that fact taught in schools. I grew up dirt poor myself, but made a better life for my kids. Keep up your good work Sarah.
Thank you for this story. Growing up in West Virginia in the 60s and 70s I saw this first hand. Poverty everywhere even then and the stories I was told by my family about the starvation my grandmother suffered loosing a young child to malnutrition was heartbreaking. That's some white privilege for you.
Tell it Sister !

At least they preserved the gender of the kid. I am waiting for the film adaptation starring a black female as the urchin, titled “Olivia Twist.”
