Thread Name: Redneck is an insulting word
Subject: RE: Redneck is an insulting word
If you're in the sun a lot, and wear a baseball type cap instead of a hat with a full brim all the way around, you're going to have a red neck unless you turn the cap around, with the bill at the back.

But I've seen posts highly critical of people who do just that - especially African-Americans. I don't understand. Maybe the logic is that African-Americans don't need to worry about red necks, so they shouldn't be allowed to turn their caps backwards? It's too philosophically complex for me.
