Everyone makes fun of rednecks nowadays
But they are the first ones I'm running to if there is a zombie apocalypse.
shareAgreed but im black so i might aswell feed myself to the zombies
shareAgreed but im black so i might aswell feed myself to the zombiesAbsolutely awesome bigotry! So casual and effortless yet so complete.
True story: I was at an alligator show at a Kissimee resort this weekend. The gentleman doing the presentation made frequent reference to the show "Swamp People" and used the pejorative phrase "dumb redneck" rather often, often enough that I and the people I was with were rather uncomfortable. Later we were discussing how society seems to need some group to single out, dehumanize, stereotype and mock. Like cruelty and contempt is an addiction that can't be satisfied on an individual basis, but must be fed on a large scale in order to satisfy the need.
We concluded that "rednecks" are a safe minority to hate on for two reasons: firstly, rednecks defy definition. No one says, "My mom was a redneck, so I'm half-redneck." Redneck is as redneck does; it's more of a culture and an ideology than a lineage. Society pays lip service to the concept of Diversity as long as it's racial, not ideological. Secondly, any attempt to "oppress" rednecks as a group would be futile. They are self-sufficient, prosperous and highly effective. They have no dependence on society, so any censure would go largely unnoticed.
And the band played on.

"Absolutely awesome bigotry!"
No, it was an absolutely awesome joke. Jeez, lighten up and laugh a little. No reason to wax philisophical on a topic like this. Besides, it's not exactly like rednecks are known for having open arms to black people.

No, it was an absolutely awesome joke.I know it was a joke, RockytheBear, though it falls far short of "awesome". Jokes can express bigotry. I could write a half-dozen scathingly bigoted jokes off the top of my head (awesome ones, IMO) that could get my account deleted with one report, and you'd probably be the one to report me.
Jeez, lighten up and laugh a little.Why, it wasn't funny. It wasn't even original.
No reason to wax philisophical on a topic like this.Why not? Who made you the topic police on this dead-ass, one-post-a-week board? I'll laugh at what I think is funny and wax philosophical when the I'm in a philosophical mood.
Besides, it's not exactly like rednecks are known for having open arms to black people.Okay RockytheBear, let's hear some awesome Black jokes. It's humor, not bigotry, as long as it's based on pithy observations and generalizations about Black people. Prove you believe what you're saying. Put up or shut up.

You don't even seem to understand the topic at hand. We're not discussing jokes about black people. We're discussing rednecks. Ya know, like your dad Jethro and his wife/sister Anna Mae. And the best redneck joke I know is you.

Putting up would have taken balls; shutting up would have taken brains. You did neither because you have neither.
Can't say I'm surprised.

You're an overly pretentious dumbass, shut the *beep* up.
shareAnd you are an idiot.
shareAnd you are an idiot.Let's see. You replied to the wrong person. (I'm assuming that you're addressing me, not Petey.) Plus, you replied to inform me that in addition to being a dumbass, as Petey said, I am also an idiot.
You managed to fit a lot of stupid into a five word post. I'm impressed.
Put your money where your stumps are. share
You typed all that and admit you're not even sure who he's talking to.
lmao so maybe he was talking to you, idiot.
Stay butt hurt, bro.
It's so funny that you said this, and yet you were the one who continued to comment for at least 2 years after this. I'm certain you'll respond to this because you can't seem to resist defending your opinion. You made good points in your original response, and then it went down hill after that.
share.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing .
Nice try trying to put a positive spin on Redneckdom, when we all know that they're just the the white version of Ghetto folks. Show me one example where they are ”Self-Sufficient”.
”Deh Deh Deh, DA Dabacco”-Puert Rican dude from the ”I aint your Papi” episode of COPS.
Nice try trying to put a positive spin on Redneckdom, when we all know that they're just the the white version of Ghetto folks.First of all, I'm not attempting to put a positive spin on any particular group; I'm trying to put a negative spin on singling out any group for dehumanization, demonization and ridicule. There should be enough of that to go around. Secondly, I'm not "trying". I know, work with and live around rednecks, so my first hand observations are just that. Finally..."White" version of ghetto folks? If you mean Black and Latino folks, why not grow a pair of functioning bigoted testicles and say what you mean? Oh yeah, because it's okay to make fun of Rednecks but not other minorities. Thanks for proving my point for me, Corky.
Show me one example where they are ”Self-Sufficient”.What the hell do you mean, "show you an example?" You obviously don't know any rednecks. What kind of "example" would satisfy you? Rednecks don't go on the dole. You're confusing Rednecks with White Trash. Redneck's recreation revolve around expensive hobbies involving internal combustion engines, firearms, fishing gear and large tracts of private land. You don't indulge such predilections on welfare.

Please! Don't get Rednecks confused with Mountain men. Rednecks ARE white trash. Direct me to a source that proves your point. Of course you're not going to call your associates ?Redneck?. You're afraid of that old saying, ?Birds of a feather, flocks together?, which would make you white trash. All that other ish your speaking on deserves no response. Why??? Because, you make no damn sense.
sharePlease! Don't get Rednecks confused with Mountain men.Mountain men? Mountain men?! Dafug you talking about? Like, Jeremiah Johnson? Mountain men are, like, a segment of society? That's got to be the dumbest retort I've heard on these boards in years.
Rednecks ARE white trash. Direct me to a source that proves your point.You didn't really just pull Mountain men all glistening and stinking out of your ass and then flip and ask me for a cite did you?! I said before, these are my personal observations. Please try to follow along.
Oh, and "Rednecks ARE white trash"? In that case, since you stated that, "...we all know that they're just the the white version of Ghetto folks" then what you're saying is that people in ghettos are NON-white trash, correct? Which proves my point yet again.
Of course you're not going to call your associates ?Redneck?.Who says I wouldn't call them Rednecks? I did call them Redneck in my previous post. They call themselves Rednecks, you inconceivable dullard.
You're afraid of that old saying, ?Birds of a feather, flocks together?, which would make you white trash. All that other ish your speaking on deserves no response. Why??? Because, you make no damn sense.You're mind is like a clown car of stupidity, it just keeps coming out.

*edit: I just discovered that this simpleton was so eager to make sure that I saw his impressively well-framed counterpoint to my ongoing anti-bigotry thesis that he left me a private message to alert me to it. He's practically wetting his adult diapers in his eagerness to tell me to "begone"...from a thread I haven't posted to in four months. On a board that gets maybe one post a week. Hats off to you, bobrob.
shut up you politically correct hitler. People like you make me sickPainfully and ultimately fatally, I hope.
you should be able to know the difference between real race hatred and a casual joke.If you don't tell me a casual joke about Black people, then you don't really believe that, and you're just yapping, little dog. And in case the significance of that statement is lost on you, that's a challenge, Corky.
Rednecks are not a specific race or creed but so no actual redneck wouild have been offended because none of them thinks of themselves as rednecks.On the contrary; Rednex are almost exclusively self-identifying. They wouldn't be offended generally because they're proud of being Rednex. But that's really quite beside the point, which is that regardless of whether the target of bigotry is offended or not, bigotry is in poor taste. Although I well understand your preference for targets that are less likely to become offended, because it minimizes the likelyhood of having your imbecilic face pushed in.
Go and blather on about fake animal cruelty or bother someone else with you rholier than thou attitude.Less intelligent things than you have emerged from human birth canals, but they were all thrown in a bin marked "medical waste." On second consideration, some of those things may have been more intelligent.
Begone fool

How do you propose to compel me to "begone?" By writing more incorrect things or by slinging weak insults that wouldn't faze me if they were originated by someone who wasn't so conspicuously inferior? Hmm?
And now, to quote the user "jimthechin", who came to the same conclusion about you that I did, kindly fk off back under your rock. Clown.

I'm proud to be a redneck. I shoot animals, gut them, cook them and eat them. If that isn't "self sufficient" I don't know what is.
Yuppies are the ones who would be the first to go in a zombie apocalypse. Us rednecks would be safe with our shotguns and our ability to get our own food (killing & growing). And BTW, I am educated and have a job. Also, I'm not racist!
Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fvck how crazy they are!!
" I shoot animals, gut them, cook them and eat them. If that isn't "self sufficient" I don't know what is."
Unless you built the gun you use, as well as the bullets, you are not fully self sufficient.
Well that was long, drawn out, and rather boring. The guy was just joking. I don't know what planet you live on, but EVERYONE gets made fun of on this one. Rednecks are just one of the many. So save the lectures and over-analyzing, get over yourself and, stop taking everything so seriously. SMH
shareWell that was long, drawn out, and rather boring.Congratulations on reading a boring thread and replying to a year-old post. I think I have a prize around here for you. Ah yes, here it is: http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff235/OsborneDeformed/Various%20and %20Sundry/brassmonkey.jpg
The guy was just joking.<sigh> I know he was just joking Evonne97 (is 97 your IQ?). The fact that his offhand joke was bigoted AND acceptable was kind of my point. Which you are the latest in a long line of Corkies to prove for me.
I don't know what planet you live on, but EVERYONE gets made fun of on this one. Rednecks are just one of the many.Also true, love, but my point, as I've stated so often and clearly is that making fun of certain groups is more acceptable than making fun of others. And I'll make the same challenge to you as I've made to your equally stupid predecessors: tell me a Black joke. Or a Hispanic joke. Or an Autistic joke. Or a Gay joke. Because if you don't, my point stands, and yours fails.
So save the lectures and over-analyzing, get over yourself and, stop taking everything so seriously. SMHA rather amusing statement when it's directed at someone who hasn't commented on this dead-ass thread in more than a year. Have you considered getting over yourself and not taking this dusty mouldering topic so seriously? Have you considered saving your lecture? Just give me the joke I asked for. I'd really love it if one of you idiots had the courage of your misguided convictions.

Even longer and more boring than before. I need a surgical team here, STAT! We need emergency stick removal from a rectal cavity ASAP. Lol, give it a rest, and stop trying to turn every minor little thing into some overblown mindless little debate. It is not that serious. We're commenting on a forum for a B movie, lol. Get real, where do you think you are? No one is impressed, hell they barely care on here. I do however think it's funny how easily your feathers are ruffled and that it literally takes nothing to keep you busy pointlessly replying. Like I said, get over yourself and stop taking everything so seriously. There, I've written yet another comment for you to take a part and play with even though all I'm ever going to keep telling you, is the same thing over and over, lol. That's how you keep someone who is predictable and anal retentive with a need to be right all the time, really busy. To everyone else reading this, just watch, lol.
shareEven longer and...<cliche message board repartee redacted for brevity>...just watch, lol.Sweet Evonne97, no one is impressed because no one is reading this except you and me.
You had the opportunity to write the one thing that would have refuted the point I've been making on this thread: to tell me a derogatory joke about the ethnic, racial, religious, or cultural group of your choice. You failed. Trumped, stumped and chumped. Anything you wrote, or will write is "pointlessly replying" if it's not what I asked for. As I told one of your predecessors, shutting up would have taken brains, putting up would have taken balls. Join the club for people with neither. Another sand-up-your-crack dumbass who made my point for me.

What point? You have no point. He's right, you're a conceited *beep* who over analyses everything and feels the need to belittle others to prove how right you think you are. Like I said before, shut the *beep* up.

I've stated my point so many times that I can safely say, if you think I have none, you have a reading comprehension problem. I don't belittle people to prove I'm right. I know I'm right and not one of you morons have provided a cogent argument that suggests I'm wrong. All you come with are variations on the theme: "UR CUNSEETED!!! UR MEAN!!! UR OVUR ANULIZING!!! SHUT DUH *BEEP* UP!!!" And I'm not supposed to think you're stupid?
Point still stands. Unless, that is, you know any good racist jokes?

No buddy, take a long, hard look in the mirror and realize you alone are being singled out for being the topics token, "retard". I mean, observe your own post, and realize what an utterly worthless dork you sound like! You belittle people because you claim you're right? It doesn't work that way. Subjectivity isn't objective.
Also, way to prove my point.. which is that your point is nil! Hah! Now, shut the *beep* up already.
No buddy, take a long, hard look in the mirror and realize you alone are being singled out for being the topics token, "retard". I mean, observe your own post, and realize what an utterly worthless dork you sound like!You're not addressing, much less refuting my point, you're taking issue with my tone. You really should treat that as a separate issue. That way you'll seem smarter, though it still won't fool me.
You belittle people because you claim you're right?No, I claim I'm right and belittle people when all they offer by way of refutation is that I "sound like a worthless dork". Please pay attention.
It doesn't work that way. Subjectivity isn't objective.Exactly! The emotions I elicit in you have no bearing on my point. You can call me a doody head all you want. To you, I am a doody head. Calling me a doody head may make your inability to refute my point easier for you to deal with. Such a simple point, so easily refuted, yet you can't do it. That's sad for you. I'd call me names too. (Actually, I'd just STFU, but I'm not, well, dumb like you.)
Also, way to prove my point.. which is that your point is nil! Hah! Now, shut the *beep* up already.Keep flapping. You're like a rape victim talking hard while they load you into an ambulance to get your ass sewn up.

Haha, right on cue! You're a sheep, a monkey! Now dance you predictable little tool! Dance!
And shut the *beep* up.
Seriously? The "I-made-you-reply" response? Dude, that is such a shameful admission of laziness/stupidity, I didn't think anyone used it anymore. Now I'm really sad for you. As dumb as you came across, I wouldn't have pegged you as that utterly helpless.
I'm so sorry.

Ok, listen, you respond to everyone in the same fashion. You belittle everyone while patting yourself on the back. Everyone, and I mean everyone in this topic, loathes you for being a pretentious, over-opinionated ass. You're arrogant and predictable, it's really quite funny. So, with that being said.. shut the *beep* up.
shareOk, listen, you respond to everyone in the same fashion.Why should I respond differently to a bunch of people who post to say essentially the same thing as the last person who posted? Why should I show any respect for someone who re-states what the last idiot stated, in the full knowledge of how I responded to the last idiot? Why would you expect a different response? Isn't that like the definition of insanity?
You belittle everyone while patting yourself on the back.I belittle people who pretend to disagree with my point, that it's hypocritical to single out certain groups for ridicule while treating others as sacred cows, when what they really object to is my tone. I think it's pretty clear I don't give a damn what you think of me. Or did you think I did? If so, in view of the evidence, would you say that makes you a very perceptive person? As for "patting myself on the back", please explain what you mean by that.
Everyone, and I mean everyone in this topic, loathes you for being a pretentious, over-opinionated ass.I loathe them right back for being whiny, self-righteous, butthurt cretins who've appointed themselves thread police on this dusty, moldering, one-post-a-week board.
You're arrogant and predictable, it's really quite funny.You're a moron and a cliche, right down to the "it's really quite funny" line.
So, with that being said.. shut the *beep* up.I've shut up on this thread for a year, you unimaginable dullard. Let's not forget who felt the need to put me in my place, Corky. If it pisses you off, why not let it slide off the edge of the board? What did you hope to accomplish by saying the exact same thing as everyone else?

97 is actually on the high end of an average human IQ. 80-90 is right at average, so 97 wouldn't be bad. It wouldn't make the person a genius by any stretch of the imagination, (that may actually be debatable in today's society) but for the point you seemed to be trying to make (which is trying to say the person is stupid) your assessment does not work.
shareYou're absolutely correct. I realized right after I posted that for some reason, 120 was stuck in my mind as average. I left it out there so she could use it to pummel me (fair is fair) but she didn't pick up on it. So 97 was actually a compliment.
