For example of the harm done, there are enough rednecks that read message boards like this, bring it home to the kitchen table to their children, which then bring into their mind set.. So the little redneck emulating his parents grow up and keep prejudice alive.. Maybe the little redneck brings it to school, tells the joke within ear shot of black children, which do not laugh, but only grow more resentful..
I am offended by the way you prejudge the Redneck
population of SI.
Besides, any true redneck is not busy looking for stock
information, opining his macroeconomic theories,
researching political candidates, and reading messages on
here on SI especially if there are perfectly good cable
channels running continuous coverage of Nascar, monster
truck shows, and turkey calling.
It is easy to see the difference, for enlightened people I mean, when a line is crossed.. And this crossed that line...
How dare you presume that us rednecks are not enlightened
people.
Just because you don't see the logic and beauty in having
much of your old major appliances and furniture displayed
out on the front yard, doesn't mean we ain't enlightened.
We just don't fit "your" definition of the term.
Personally I find my tattered, duct taped Lazy Boy recliner
parked under the magnolia tree to be down right Zen-like
at times.
Especially after I begin dipping into my second six pack
of Pabst Blue Ribbon. I am at one with the universe.
So lighten up you milk-toast northerner. And don't presume
we don't get the joke.
Gotta run. Bass Masters is about to start.
Cordially Yours,
