It is so ignorant and naiive to pre-judge someone from their place of residence. I understand the South has its “culture” but this type of attitude is what makes people from elsewhere think southerners are stupid and foolish.

Rednecks make this country what it is today and we stay together when we get married you always see rich city people getting divorced not rednecks and we support the war because were true patriots
to Dan” one meaning of redneck is basically because they’ve been out on the farm, in the sun so they get a redneck doing REAL work. You city people just sit at your desks or cubicle doing paperwork

I am 15 and just moved to SE Louisiana. whenever I talk to someone and bring up the fact that i am from Michigan, they immediately are no longer interested in talking or anything like that. I am not going to pretend to be “southern” or anything like that, I would rather have no friends, I am also sick of how they tell me everything we do in the North is wrong. How can I enjoy the South more?

It also seems to me that many Americans know they are describing southerners and go right along with the Anti-Americanism, because they know they are not describing them. Has anyone noticed this or is my perception inaccurate?

I think they are better than the Boston, New York, and Jersey accents. The accent we always hear from newscasters and the media is plain, in my opinion. But I did hear this one girl’s southern accent on a Girls Gone Wild infomercial that was more painful to listen to than Fran Drescher’s. I guess all American accents pretty much suck.

Sexually, rednecks, trailer trash, and what I consider the scum of the earth turn me on. I lived in the south for a while and thought “country folk” were so attractive, but I just could not stand them. Why am I attracted to people I don’t like?
