People use it as a derogatory term on this board. If you do a search of the word, there are numerous examples of it being used in a hateful context. Negative stereotyping is forbidden against some groups, but allowed to be used on others. This is unfair.Quote:

Not fair in the slightest.
I think the word ni&&er in any context is wrong,,,I had a hard time writing it in this sentence... Redneck and White Trash are acceptable because Rednecks and White Trash are proud of it and appreciate the recognition...
It seems to be accepted among themselves and becomes a friendly word at that point... I am white and in any context it is racial... Native Americans don't like to be called Indians but,,, as a group they are not as vocal as black people... if there was a native American Martin Luther,Al sharpton and Jesse J,,, I would think the word Indian would go on a list of words not to say...Quote:

The word "Rednecks" has been used on this board in the context of hate and negative stereotyping. Do a search.Quote:

The following posts are just a small sample of the types of prejudice I am referring to. This is pure hate. Try substituting another racial epitaph for "redneck" in these messages, and imagine what would happen if they were posted like that.
no offense to any one thats a redneck, but i hate stupid rednecks in lifted trucks!. I was merging onto the freeway and some assholes in a lifted chevy tried to cut in and i didnt let him so he was all pissed. Then he pulls next to me and him and hes fat friend start yelling shit out the window throwing stuff and they try to swerve into me. I was so baked and this just ruined my high. ARGH piss me the fuck off!. next time i see those fucks, some ones getting a ice pick to the neck

I hear you! Seems like here in Texas, every vehicle on the road but mine is a redneck-driven lifted truck. Be careful out there, tho! It's just those sorts of folks who'll chase you down and shoot you before you can blink an eye.

Yeah rednecks piss me off. I go to partys out here in the Michigan countryside and if your a stoner you better bring friends with you or your gonna get jumped. They like to fuck with stoners for some reason. Then theres wannabe redneck kids who wear john deere and the chicks like them because of this. Stoners get looked at like criminals and the beer swillin rednecks are considered cool. I just dont get it. Now dont get me wrong i have some hillbilly friends but when rednecks get together at a party there assholes. I had a friend who got pushed by a redneck and his hand broke through a car window. My friend started beating the shit out of him then 5 rednecks jumped him and started kicking the shit out of him. Now for one it was bullshit because the kid he was orginally fighting deserved it and 2 my friend is only like 5'7 and he got his ass kicked by a group of kids that where all bigger than him. Now i dont know if all rednecks around the country act this way but the ones around here do. They talk shit, and when someone stands up for themself they get jumped by 5 other kids. It's kinda sad that around here those are considered the "cool" kids.

sorry man, didnt mean to harsh your mellow. I just hate preppy people. But I hate rednecks even more. And by hate I mean it more along the lines of not love. To be honest, I just hate dumb people. Except dumb hippies. They're funny.

I only attack after I've been attacked. I'd rather not attack at all. I'm still sticking with my theory that the Christian right and southerners are less intelligent. After all they voted twice for the asshole known as Bush
Now if you are a right leaning Christian, or from the south, you may be the exception, as not all of them can be dumbasses, just enough to re-elect Dubya. I also have watched the Dixie Chicks movie and if you want to see dumbass rednecks from the south, go see it.

A few Notes on americans: Most of us are proud of our country and ready to fight you over it......... A lot of us have guns, but we're not rednecks or gangstas.

after years of research we still have no report from the rednecks as to whether or not humans can crossbreed with sheep

There's always the ignore button.
We can't expect the mods to clean everything up. We gotta clean our own messes first.
But it's not a problem! They don't have to "clean up" anything - just make the system put asterisks for these offensive words, like it does for others. I posted the lyrics to an offensive rap song which contains the n word, that claims Bush knocked down the Twin Towers, and the system did it automatically.Quote:
