I hate southern accents. Whenever I hear them I get the impression of a very unsophisticated, uncivilized, and possibly racist person. I encourage anyone who has one to do whatever it takes to get rid of it. Some speech therapy? I had to do speech therapy when I was in elementary school. Southern accents are rediculous because it's American english, but it sounds like you don't really speak it. People who learn English as a second language have an excuse. So do people who have English or British accents. A southern accent has no excuse. I can't stand country music most of the time unless the singer has a slight accent or they have poppy music. Country music for the most part is sad and makes me feel like the person is racist/incestual/nationalist and everything else associated with the redneck/hick/hillbilly lifestyle. I don't want to listen to music about drinking to solve problems being sung by some drunk, smoking redneck hillbilly who waves a rebel flag, hates all minority groups and engages in sexual endeavors with their mothers, sisters, and possibly dogs.

I hate people who don't know the true meaning of a redneck. A redneck isn't just some poor, dumb, guy/girl living in the South. The term is one of true American pride. Back in the 1930's and 40's, the term came about because of a certain group of people. They were rural laborers who grew the corn and cotton and cut the wood to feed, clothe and grow our country. On the weekends, they went to town to buy the few things they didn't grow or make. They were honest, hard working and the backbone of the country.
They came into town wearing a worn pair of boots, and a clean pair of work clothes. Their necks were sunburned because they toiled in the hell hot Southern sun. Their life was one based on working hard and providing for their families.
People today don't understand the difference between a redneck and white trash. The wife-beater, beer swilling image isn't the one of a redneck. People like that aren't limited to the South, they're all over our country.
So, before you state you hate toward rednecks, take the time to understand what a redneck really means. Nov 2 3:57 PM MST
