| You might be a redneck if.................. Posted: 1/18/2007 5:32:33 PM | your really don't sound to much like a gentleman or kindhearted with that statement.
What do u know about real Fl rednecks except to offend them? You must be a Notheren bird or a real hard hearted & jealous preppy to make a comment like that. Redneck people have the best hearts you can find anywhere around.. it proves to be such when there are so many that make fun of them. The joking is fine but but not the meaness that you brought to this forum, wasn't called for . | |

You think Email is a woman with a penis or a man with large mammaries You use your bathtub as a pool and shock it every other day . You can not afford a themepark ticket so you go to the city and use the skyscraper elevator as a thrill ride . | |

| You might be a redneck if.................. Posted: 3/27/2007 6:03:32 PM | Hey... Rednecks can take it!
We enjoy the good hearted humor and join right it on the fun.
But I refuse to put fake balls on my pick-up. The fake balls would feel so embarrassed next to the real ones! | |

That isn't the point the term is insulting and insidious.
How fast do you think this thread would have been deleted had it been:
You might be a "N" if?
I oppose racism of any form! | |

| You might be a redneck if.................. Posted: 3/27/2007 9:13:23 PM | This thread reads like a long list of racist...
I can't believe the moderators would permit this kind of thread?

You're serious...are you the one that reported this to the moderators? Redneck as an ethnicity? Ah yes, the trod upon, ever burdened White Rural Conservative (sometimes described as under or uneducated sometimes by choice) that is called the redneck...nicknamed for the "tractor tan".
And you compare that somehow to an epithet used on a people who suffered being brought across the sea from their native country in chains at the point of gun and sword, and being bought and sold for generations, treated as subhuman, bred like animals, sold as property, and treated as second class citizens in violation of laws and world opinion for over two centuries...
Are ye quite right in the head? Do you know what hyperbole is? How about parody? Considering the whole joke was started by Jeff Foxworthy and not a Harvard Law student, I'd say this complaint is more than a touch out of line.
And to top it off...

| You might be a redneck if.................. Posted: 3/27/2007 10:33:49 PM | If I'm not mistaken...there has been "NO ONE" brought across the sea from their native country in chains at the point of gun and sword, and being bought and sold for generations, treated as subhuman, bred like animals, sold as property, and treated as second class citizens in violation of laws and world opinion for "over two centuries"... that is so OLD...."Ancesters"...not people in this time of the century. Just an excuse for some people to get away with everything they want to. Lordy I wish people would get on with their lives and stop dwelling on the past! | |

You're missing the point entirely.
It is the worst kind of hyperbole to compare redneck jokes, jokes which were popularized by comedian Jeff Foxworthy and have a pedigree right back to Hee-Haw on the Grand Ole' Opry as being in any way similar to making a list of old-time jokes featuring an "n" word that happens to rhyme with chigger.
That's what the poster was comparing it to. He was comparing being a redneck being poked fun at to being black and being called the "n" word by "whitey". With that kind of hyperbole, I'm surprised he didn't do himself one better and call up memories of Native American or Jewish Oppression...
That is frankly ridiculous. If you can come up with one reasonable, coherant argument as to how it is similar I would really like to see it. If you or he can come up with an argument that shows how being a "red-neck" is an ethnicity, I would like to see it or how red-neck humour, constitutes in any way a form of racism, I would like to see it. So far, all we have seen is..."Quit eyit! Dang yew, thet ain't funny!"
Frankly if it's funny enough for Jeff, Larry the Cable Guy and the other fellas on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, I think it should be funny enough for anyone. It's parody, satire, and as the product of rural North American society myself, you can hardly forbid me the right to self-depricating humour. Grow a thicker skin...I'm not inciting people to harm red-necks...just chuckle at obvious and absurd exaggerations. Unlike much racist humour inflicted by White western european Christians (mostly Protestants) on their fellows, it isn't meant to demean, incite to violence, reduce to second-hand citizen or subhuman status and is obviously so absurd, it couldn't be considered a "real" report. See the definition of satire. | |

If you live in a mobile home and you have more than 3 cars on the property that arent, you might be a redneck... (We have like 10, and 3 mobile homes :-D )
PROUD TO BE A REDNECK!!! | |
