The Whites are considered by most in this area to be a bit of a joke. Like WVBassmaster, I live in a neigboring county (Raleigh) and have to travel to Boone county where they live. Boone county is a bit socially isolated, to say the least. The Whites personify the absolute worst WV has to offer. They are a prime case study on what toll rural prescription pill abuse takes on the uneducated family, not just in WV, but all over rural america.

I don't think anyone thinks the Whites are typical W.V. folks. As has been said, you can find "whites" in every state..
Wow! speechless. I saw the title of the show last night in the channel guide and thought the show is about nature. I wonder how the rest of the world view America once they get a hold of this fine documentary.
My mother still to this day wont admit she is from west virginia. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif really, there are a lot of good people in that state and a few that aint so good, just like everywhere else.
They were the inspiration for Squidbillies http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
All the people who think welfare recipients shouldn't be drug tested needs to watch all 3 documentaries of the Whites.
Jesco White aka "The Dancing Outlaw" has been a celebrity for some time. I remember he had a video or something out in the early 90's when the first PBS documentary was done on the family. He was a model airplane glue sniffer and gasoline huffer and Elvis wanna be.
The original PBS documentary was much better. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
So what is the point of these documentaries? to show how f..ed up these peoples are? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif
