Thread Name: Redneck is an insulting word
Subject: RE: Redneck is an insulting word
Well danged, Wilco. Iz' feeling real corn-fused now. See, I think "moron" as more inflamatory than "redneck". And also less descriptive. Yeah, I probably have refered to Bush, Junior as a "redneck" but I know I have used the term to describe many of the folks in Congress because the term, to me, fits. These folks, by inlarge, are white folks who rather tahn appeal to the intellect of the American votoer, instead appeal to the emotions of the voters.

Well, if Ive learned one thing about rednecks is that if keep information on an emotional basis, especially if the information is spiced with bigotry, then all is well. But don't try to get these folks to discuss much of anything, other than NASCAR, in depth becuase if it won't fit on a bumper sticker, it most likely won't fit in their minds either.


Now if this makes anyone madder than usual at this ol' hillbilly, I'm sorry. But having lived in South Richmond, Va. for many years and the last 18 years living with hillbillies, Iz here to say that there are lot of ignorant, racist, intolerant white people in America and a few too many of 'em in high places.
