As long as you're being racist, personally I'd rather have a red neck trash type as a neighbor than an inner city thug or an illegal gang banger if I had to choose.

Whites are the new 1930s Jews. The US left-wing is using the exact same tactics Hitler and the Nazis used to demonize the Jews. And you have the nerve to accuse others of bigotry.
And on a slightly off-topic sidenote, some wants whites to come back in Zimbabwe.

I wonder if US left-wing folks and others social justice warriors will react like Trigglypuffs if they see that clip exterpted from the documentary "Empire of Dust" made in 2011?

Why do you prefer the redneck trash? I ask this because I've dealt with such types and based things done to me by such persons, they are no different from thugs.

It's simple. Personal safety. If I had to live next door to a thug, an illegal gang banger or a redneck, I'd feel safer next door to a redneck. Being a "redneck" by today's definition doesn't make you a violent person. it simply makes you low income white, according to racists here. According to the left wing racists, all you have to do to be a redneck is be white, have a lower than average income and live in a red state.

Well, I live in a red state. I don't have "rednecks" for neighbors. I have southerners, I have country types for neighbors. Not rednecks. A redneck is someone who adheres to the redneck subculture. I do have experience with those who would classified as such, based on a true assessment of such.

This excerpt, and the article for it by Thomas Sowell should give you a better understand of what I'm talking about.

Black Rednecks & White Liberals

I went to school with people who embodied and lived up to the redneck culture. Those were often the people calling me the "N" word, telling me they were going to "hang me by the end of their rope". I've also been assaulted a few times by such persons. The last few times the "N" word got screamed at me in public, it was someone who embodied the redneck culture. I've also gone to school with those who had the thug culture in them. I got assaulted and bullied by those persons too. In my experiences, redneck culture and thug culture are the same. Cultures of violence, touchy pride, anti-intellectual attitude, mentality of "you 'dis' me and there will be a fight". Being lower income White doesn't make you a redneck. Attitude and the subculture you adhere to makes the difference.

I don't feel safe around rednecks or inner city thugs.

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm using what has become the common definition of a redneck according to many liberals here which is simply being white, low income and living in a red state. Read the hundreds of posts throughout CD calling white people rednecks simply because of their income and where they live. Of course you and I both know this isn't the case.

I lived there for three years. I am white blonde hair blue eyes. Never had more women chasing after me anytime in my life. I enjoyed my time living there. I made a lot of friends there and latinos there think that white people look down at them and are racist. If you get to know them and they see you are not like that everything is fine. But if you perpetuate their stereotypes it won't go well.
They're long gone. Hawaii for two years, then Colorado and Utah. I just thought it was sad that one kid had had someone grab his arms hard enough to leave bruises, and another - only seven years old - didn't have a single friend. I will say, I'm sure it had as much to do with his inability to speak Spanish as his color or race. Still sad that these young kids wouldn't admit someone different than them. Learned, not inherited.

I grew up in rural PA and I and the few black kids never experienced something as terrible as Southern trailer trash. My area was just low income whites who liked their guns and ATVs. Nothing wrong with that. I prefer them over many suburban types who are up in your business all the time, and call CPS on you if you let your kids have fun by themselves, or call the cops on you because you didn't trim your bushes enough.

I tend to look at the term "redneck" differently. Where I went to middle school and high school gave me some exposure to this stuff. I went to school with a sizable number of lower income Whites. Many rednecks were indeed lower income Whites. However, most of the rednecks I dealt with were not particularly poor. Many of them were just jerks and violent kids. Nothing to do with income.

I grew up with very little money in a neighborhood with less. I knew some jerks that would be now considered "rednecks". Once my body grew up at about 14 or so then they stopped bullying me. This happened after I left a couple of them badly bent and a couple more broken. They left me alone.


The major factor that leads to the connotation of "redneck" is not just a bulling alcoholic personality living in a bulling alcoholic culture but being functionally stupid as well. A "redneck" can be any race, sex or wealth. For instance our President is in all manner a "redneck" despite his education, race. sex and wealth. He is just another redneck bully and colossal jerk.
