Shame on you Dr. Phil

Quote From: kurch21403

I make 75,000 a year and my husband makes about the same.  We live in what you would consider an upper class neighborhood.  HOWEVER, I have tons of friends that live in trailers and have some or no children. And never ever ever would I call them trailer park trash!! Dr. Phil has lost all of my respect with that comment!   I have deleted my DVR scheduled recordings of his show this week. Maybe when Dog gets back on the air, I will watch Dr. Phil again.

Shame on you Dr. Phil.  That trailer crack really upset me.  As far as I am concerned, people that make remarks about "living in a trailer" are just as racist as someone who says the "n" word.  When this type of remark is made, it is assumed that "trailer park" people are illiterate and worthless.  Well, we all know what the word "assume" means, don't we?

My husband and I live in a "mobile home" in a mobile home park.  We decided that we did not want to make huge monthly house payments and not have anything left over and low and behold, we are both college educated.  My husband has a degree and I have taken several college courses. 

I am very upset with you and Rosie for making these types of comments.  Since I am behind in watching your shows (yes, we have a DVR), if you have apologized, I thank you.  If you haven't, you need to do so.
