These concepts are socially constructed and have been given much weight. What are your thoughts?

Are Rednecks = Racists?

Postby whiskeyjack » January 15th, 2008, 8:27 am

Im confused do people consider people who are "Rednecks" to be automatically racist?
Does the word redneck mean racism?
Does redneck describe all the people who live the rural life?
Are you redneckish?

i found this in the urban dictionary :P
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=redneck
(if your going to take a example from the link, plz make sure its relevant to your answer and not spam)

Like in the glorious world of stereotypes what does redneck mean to you?

I grew up outside the city and i consider myself more redneck then a cityslicker. Where i come from redneck would imply your more of a bushman then a city slicker. But ive heard it can mean different things like being racist towards blacks and stuff. Which is weird i think, how does living outside the city make your racist?

Anyways thx for your answers ahead of time

Not all rednecks are racist. I work with a redneck (he's proud of it) but we get a lot well. Rednecks are just people who live in rural area (mostly the South).

The ones I've known weren't that racist but they always took racial issues involving whites personally, like the Reginald Denny beating.

-well i know some "visable minorties"quite well and to them im the bushman.

-my buddy from ghana will be in the store dressed like a player, then theres me jeans, some crappy shirt, and a ripped black and red checkered jacket lol.

-its led to some commical situations, one of my ex gf said that my buddy and i were the odd couple cause we looked so different.

-or when im just driving around with my "visable minority" buddies smoking weed and visiting people they dont mind listening to my rock music once in awhile lol. Its funny white person in shot gun wearing a hunting jacket in a car full of blacks and natives listening to rock music lol. Megadeth, peace sells!!!! yea!!

-ive been told that its cool i didnt change my style or personality into that of a wigger when i became friends with some black people. Its just made for some funny situations. They always said they respect me for who iam and not for trying to be a wigger. its actually funny when other black people have there wigger bitch friends over i get more respect then them for just being there.... lol

From my personal experience I wouldnt say that all persons either calling themselves or stereotyped rednecks are racist but the majority of them have been. And many are just very dl about it.

What happens if a redneck father finds that his son has turned into a wigger?

Turns into the classic crap movie scenario of modern US redneck folks --- the father talks like a redneck, tells his son your not my son anymore your a little faggot, the son hits the father and runs away with his sister or girlfriend or something.

haha.. Jack got offended at that. It's ok Jack. Lot of great men and women were the result of second and third cousins including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Bach, etc...

Of course you also had guys like Darwin and Jerry Lee Lewis that were products of cousins.. lolol.

Yeah that's weird. I want to say the IQ is a result of dna and upbringing?

Anyways, check out the cousin marriage laws in the USA. It might surprise some people: http://marriage.about.com/cs/marriagelicenses/a/cousin.htm
