why do people hate Rednecks?

[Texas warrior]

Sure we Rednecks have are dogmas but don't we all. People are hate'n on me for being a Redneck and a kinda want to know why.

[embers]

Because of shit like this (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1609825&postcount=51).

[MysticalBurrito]

It's not exactly something to be proud of... Just sayin'.

[Texas warrior]

I am a Redneck piece of white trash and I am proud of it! We have more honor and a sense of right and wrong than most Americans, not to mention a stronger scene of duty the the rest of Americans. Yes we have more dogmas but we can't be perfect.

I agree with the guy with the fish and tux as his icon.

I hate rednecks because of the attempts by many rednecks to force their views on me, such as telling me that my homosexuality is wrong.

That's a reasonable reason to hate Rednecks, I can except that.

People should just respect on anothers views.

[Texas warrior]

I can respect others views that are not my own, trooneh just said that he hates Rednecks, I am a Reaneck, but his reason for hating my kind is not unreasonable so I respect it.

[antiabort]

But yeah texas person you need to stop.


No, you need to fuck off. He has every right to post here and has said nothing wrong.

[Bougainvillea]

Because every redneck I've ever met was an uneducated, bushwhacking piece of shit who can't form a valid, respectful opinion on anything. They're pretty much always christians, and for some reason they deem themselves more patriotic than anyone else even though they don't know shit about the history of this country.

I fucking hate rednecks, and was always fucked with by them because I'm a hispanic who decided to make something out of myself. And that pretty much stopped when I took down one of the varsity football players.

[embers]

So guys, I think we need to chill out and keep the attitudes respectful here. I understand that this is a thread about hating a particular group of people but that doesn't mean you can't remain civil.

So because I'm a Redneck I must be an uneducated, bushwhacking piece of shit? I think that I just formed a valid, respectful opinion.

Ps there are a few good reasons to hate Rednecks But only my friend trooneh has said any that was not bull shit.

[Texas warrior]

I have met a middle class black man that was a Redneck, That stereotype is not what real rednecks are.

[Mtc 10]

I dont like rednecks because when I think of the word. I honestly think of. Slightly or very rascist, very uneducated, Poor, Dress any way, No "real" American dream job... Basically It reminds honestly of a bunch of hicks living in fantasy land.. And i know probaly 50 or more rednecks. And many of them fit in at least 2 of the 4 categories..

Being that I am quite well off (upper middle class).. So I slightly look down on others not as fortunate. SO maybe that is my influence

[Texas warrior]

Too many Rednecks are racist homophobes, it is sad to look at your people and see the plague that is sweeping through them. But they are still my people so I will keep defending them as best I can.

[Genghis Khan]

Rednecks =/= people from Texas. Redneck is used now to refer to bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways. If you do in fact fit in this particular category, then you probably just need to change your views. Otherwise, don't identify yourself with something you're not. And I assume you're not close-minded or bigoted.

My suggestion. Get an education. Go to college. Get a job. Get out of the boondocks, and go to high class regular american society and live what so many people crave and what your people are throwing away "The American Dream"

[Mortal Coil]

Because a lot of rednecks have outdated values, and as nostalgic as I may personally be, humans are supposed to evolve and holding onto those outdated values is not helping society move forwards.

[TheMatrix]

Oh god, not another of these >.<
There is a line between stereotypes and generalisations. That line becomes blurred in the context with groups such as "Rednecks". You, unfortunately(for yourself) are a prime example where the stereotype is the generalisation.
But don't worry, it's not all bad. I'm sure you can find people who find a large comedic value in people like you ;)

So guys, I think we need to chill out and keep the attitudes respectful here. I understand that this is a thread about hating a particular group of people but that doesn't mean you can't remain civil.
It will be a cold, cold day in hell before that happens :P

I in fact do not fit into that stereotype, Rednecks are southerners with simple tastes, To us a fifth of Jack sound better than a 500$ bottle dolor wine, to us a shotgun sounds better than a Iphone, to us a dirty pickuptruck with 500$ worth of ammo and booze sound better than a Audi A6 with a Swedish supermodel in the back. Its not that we can't appreciate thous things but like I said we like the simple things.

[Bougainvillea]

Its a different lifestyle. Southern/country customs and culture I don't have a problem with. But what Genghis Khan describes is typically what rednecks are. Its a word used to describe a certain group of people. Just like how gay is a term now.

If you're redefining that word into this sub-culture of Southerners then no, I don't think I or anyone else has any valid reason to hate Rednecks. But bear in mind when people say 'I hate rednecks' they are usually referring to the bigoted, misogynistic, xeno/homophobic cunts of the South.

[kenoloor]

I don't hate rednecks. I actually find them quite valuable, especially in a community VT. I mean, think about it; without people like you, we'd never be able to appreciate all the people unlike you. And you're really fucking entertaining.

Not according to Texas Warrior because you're not from Texas.

[Voleurz]

Why do I hate you because you're a redneck? Because you have to ask why people hate on you. Being a southern uneducated ignorant piece of white trash is nothing to be proud of.

Lmfao! Aii so I guess we ganna have to shake, do waddup? And you dont know what im talking about so before you go run your mouth get.your facts straight.

At what point did I say your views are wrong? Maybe your facts are but thats your problem.

Shut up man.

[Clawhammer]

People hate people. Always have, always will. Doesn't mean anything about who's right or not. Oftentimes the people who are right are the ones that everyone hates. The reasons can vary from logical to lunatic. Shit happens.
I'm a "hillbilly." If people don't like that, oh well. I really don't like them very much either. They can do what they're going to do, I could never stop them if I tried. People have to fix the wrong in their own lives, not others. If everyone did that, we'd be a "hell of a sight" better off than we are.

[ImCoolBeans]

The term red-neck actually originated a very long time ago and it was used to describe really hard working individuals working on farms/plantations in the south, where the sun would beat down on the backs of their necks while working - hence "red-neck" :arrow2: sunburned neck. But yeah, our present day society has changed the meaning a bit.

I don't hate red-necks in any kind of way, thats just like hating black people, jews, christians, russians or any group of people.

I hate rednecks because they call me 'sandnigger' and some other slur, and that really offends me. They automatically judge me because I was born in Afghanistan.

[Dimitri]

Reasons I do not like, hence I do not use the word hate, rednecks. My father is a huge one and he is the main reason why....

Their over-vauled opinions on how hard-work will get your farther in this world than a good education - bud, I am going to make more friends, save more lives and full-fill myself becoming a physician than living here, on the farm, working my life away to end up having a decrepit body by the time I reach 50.

Their hatred for many things different, homosexuality, bisexuality and many more (I am bi myself and have a boyfriend....) change in general....

The tobacco products, do you not understand the long-term side effects? Very dangerous.

Also, many of the rednecks I know are very bull-headed, I work in a hospital and many of the rednecks, who have been my patients do not realize that the plans we prescribe are only meant to help you, you need then....

Like I said, I do not hate them but I dislike many of them....

the "cunts of the south" are a subcultuer of rednecks that everybody hates. I have never met a redneck that was not one of them, but liked them. we all hate them. But even redneck outside of that subculture will step on some tows. And with the kind of boots we wear people don't forget it when step on there tows.

[Eclipsical]

I don't hate them.

Why hate on something that provides endless amount of amusement and makes me feel so much better about myself?

Well, then fuck them if they willingly step on toes deliberately, and are malicious about it.

Why even ask that question when you just stated yourself that they fit into a whole group of assholes.

[Rage of the Menace]

Because of this.

So guys, I think we need to chill out and keep the attitudes respectful here. I understand that this is a thread about hating a particular group of people but that doesn't mean you can't remain civil.

This still stands guys.

Keep it civil, or this will be locked, and infractions will be handed out.

To add on to that, I've cleaned up your pettifog. I don't want to do that again.
Please keep your issues private -- use the PM system or take it up with a staff member privately.

I think that what you don't get is that there are two kinds of Red neck. The kind that are generally polite and respectful. And then there are the cunts of the south. Most people, you included, think that all Rednecks are cunts, It's like assuming that if you are tan you are a Muslim, or if you'r a Jew you must be greedy, of if your Asian you can't drive. There all stereotypes that just are not true. SO FOR THE LOVE OF SPAGHETTI MAN IN THE SKY QUIT HATE'N ON ME FOR BEING A RED NECK. Dam now my thought is sore, any one have a coffdrop?

:furious: uggggggg.

[Genghis Khan]

:furious: uggggggg.

I don't see why you can't just stop calling yourself a redneck if the word has evolved to mean something negative. It's not like it's the only thing that defines you, call yourself a Texan, a Southerner, an American, a human being, an Atheist, whatever. This is similar to an African-American saying 'not all niggers are fried-chicken eating, job stealing, watermelon eating uneducated black people', I mean jheez just call yourself black or African-American. There's tons of things you can associate yourself with, and here you are getting ticked off at people on the internet using the word 'redneck' with a negative connotation when it in fact, has evolved to become a word that defines uneducated, unpleasant Southerners. Just accept it and move on. How you define a redneck is not how most people define a redneck. Big deal.

[Texas warrior]

I will not denounce my self as a Redneck because it would make people think that they are right, and I will be dammed if I just give up.

I dont necessarily consider my self a redneck but according to the kids and teachers in my school This the official definition to reedneck according to my school:
"The glorious absence of sophistication"
-Jeff Foxworthy

And they consider me that.

[UnknownError]

:furious: uggggggg.

Simmer doon hen, yer baps are oan fire.

Redneck is a 90% of the time a negative term. If you can't understand that then be my guest to continue calling yourself one.

[Texas warrior]

Simple: Don't call yourself a stereotype that the public doesn't view you as. I don't know why you're so insistent on holding on to a title that you have barely any traits of.

How many times must I say that Rednecks are just simple southerners and there is nothing bad about that .if you had bothered to read the thread you would get that, you too derp. read the thread and come back with a something to say that has not been said before.

I don't really hate rednecks, I have a few redneck friends. I just like messing with the stupid ones

That is not what a redneck is; a redneck, by definition, is a stereotype of an uneducated southerner. Whether you like it or not, that's what the majority of people think when they hear "redneck." You can either get over yourself, accept it and move on with you life or you can keep whining about how society misunderstands you when really, you're the one who misunderstands the goddamn stereotype.

[Texas warrior]

read the 51 post sap.

In all honesty, I find this funny.

If you're so confident that there is nothing wrong with being a redneck then stop getting offended when people call you a redneck in a negative fashion. Or use the term negatively.

[Texas warrior]

If you were a Jew and people called you a Jew as a negative term would you stop being offended, no. So why should I?

[kenoloor]

If you were a Jew and people called you a Jew as a negative term would you stop being offended, no. So why should I?

So you admit that "redneck" is a negative term.

[User_Does Not Exist]

I love rednecks, I think they're awesome and have tons of fun, and living in Texas really gets you out there to have fun with 'em!!!

Ex Girlfriend's family was pretty redneck, loved 4 wheeling and shooting arrows off the back at hogs at the field, fishing was fun, and so was mudding in her dads truck, and nothing is better than the drinking parties :p lol

Living in Texas I hear the stereotypical views on them though, like stupid stuff, fat country no teeth, beer 24/7 blah blah blah. Just a bunch of garbage that people ahve no idea what tbey're talking about.

[embers]

Alright guys, this is going nowhere - it's a cycle of the same opinions being spat back and forth. Really not worth it anymore.
