Love withers under constraint; its very essence is liberty. It is compatible neither with obedience, jealousy nor fear. It is there most pure, perfect, and unlimited when its votaries live in confidence, equality and unreserve. - Percy Byshe Shelley

Umm, the term redneck comes from West Virginia, when the railroads were built. It had nothing to do with sunburn on the neck, as is commonly believed. It is actually from the red neckerchiefs that the locals working on the railroad wore around their necks.
Actually (depending on what you read) the term 'redneck' comes from Scotland.
Never heard that about WV. I find it questionable due to how far (and wide) down south it became.
I'll look it up though. Just not right now. I walked in the door about 10 minutes ago and the dog, he needs a'walking.
If you have a site that would be awesome.
Zero problem fessing up when I'm wrong. Just want to make sure I'm wrong, first.

There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilization -- these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit ~ C. S. Lewis

Here ya go backlash, looked it up
oddly enoughThe term "redneck" was also used in The West Virginia Coal Miners March (1921)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RedneckBy 1900, "rednecks" was in common use to designate the political coalitions of the poor white farmers in the South. The same group was also often called the "wool hat boys" (for they opposed the rich, who wore silk hats). A newspaper notice in Mississippi in August 1891 called on rednecks to rally at the polls at the upcoming primary election
I would cite my sources for the comments but the page does a fantastic job at that.
Edit: so no. I wasn't wrong :)

*blink blink*
*mumbles* momma always told me never to walk into a landmine but I'm doing it anyway.
Alright, so let me get this right. Some folks in here think that the NAACP are going to get butthurt?
And someone posed a question about the race of murderers and the like.
And then some folks are getting all bent out of shape because of supposed classism?
Puh-lease.
As I said before, what the guy did is not that evil/horrid. Yeah it's a dick move, but I honestly do not believe he should be arrested, charged with anything or even get a goddamn hate crime enhancement.
I will admit, the NAACP was helpful back in the day. But now, it's really a laughingstock among folks who want real change. I mean hell, even the term Colored is a bit dated. And maybe they will/have get involved. And they may/may not make a big deal out it. But you know what? That's not all black folks. These are sue-hungry bastards who I honestly think are eff hypocrites. The whole lot of them. Maybe when they keel over(why won't they DIE?!) we can get some folks who really do care about helping blacks. Like Aaron Mcgruder or something. Hell, I'd nominate myself but I'd probally pull a Dr. King(if you watch the Boondocks you'll know what I mean) except I do NOT want Oprah as president. She panders too much to the "woo" crowd and I want someone who has a brain, not a vacant expression when some idiot is jumping up and down on a perfectly good couch.
*ahem*
Anyway. About African American culture. All in All, it needs an overhaul. I'm going to be real for a moment and well, you gotta remember, this is what I see so it's different for other folks, okay?
When I mean an overhaul, I mean something needs to be changed from the top to the bottom. From country to city. River to dale. I walk around in the rundown parts of town(Urban means city, and as a lover of the city I refuse to use the term urban to describe black. It is a misnomer and needs to stop) I see alot of folks trying to just scrape by. And well, yes they are mostly AA. And sadly, in this group there are alot of folks who live by the "party hard, buy rims, and f***k as many hoes as possible". They went to school , but because it was not stressed by their parents to get an education, they have dead end jobs. The folks that do come from this background that DO want to do something with themselves, get treated like shit. My mom wasn't raised anywhere dangerous(b/c she was a military kid) but even then both parents had to work just to sqeak by. She said told me that when she reached teen years, she realized she wanted to be able to sustain such a life where she would NEVER need to come home.
My grandmother backed her(she also had a hard upbringing and had to fight her family to become a nurse), but the rest of our family made fun of her and accused her of being uppity. When she left for college, she only came home to see me(a deal she made with grandma) and talk to an enrollment officer for the military. The rest is history. But there are not alot of folks like that in this group. They are like roses found in briar patches. This would be different if there was an emphasis on education, not getting money the easy way. If we(collectively) took the focus off of these ballers and more on the educators, doctors, and lawyers. I think we'd be half way there.
The other half would be getting help for the helpless and educating(again) on diseases and the like. It would be awesome if the churches could get involved(church is pretty important for AA's. It's our nucleus) and really stressed screenings for hereditary disease and mental disorders. Yes, I said mental disorders. Having "issues" is not something that's really tolerated in AAC. As I was told by a classmate when we talked about my depression diagnosis, "Blacks do not go to therapists, they go to church." That's a problem that i'd love to really talk more about but I think I've said too much.
What I was trying to say is that for AA's to really move forward, there needs to be a paradigm shift. That includes knowing when to sue(like when your doctor botches your skin grafts) and when not to(this wal mart incident).
For myself, I love wal mart and it's low prices. But I am and will always be a Target girl. The stuff lasts longer and I can find stuff that are my size that doesn't look like a damn muu muu.

I understand there is no problem with crime among African-Americans. I understand there are no violent African-American street-gangs in the United States. I understand that Detroit, Philadelphia, Newark, Gary and other such locations are serene places to live....much safer than the more Caucasian oriented suburbs. I understand that there are virtually no African-Americans in prison. In fact it is very rare for an African-American to be sent to prison...and if he does happen to wind up in such an institution, it is the fault of the white establishment. African-Americans are far less likely to commit crimes, in comparison to their percentage within the overall population, than are their caucasian counter-parts.
Of course, I never said that "rednecks" were "non violent, peace loving, people." I only made the statement that "rednecks" are not responsible for most violent crimes in the United States. Of course, Justice Department statistics bear this out.
Yes, there are bad people in every race. But, if you cannot understand that there is a problem within the African-American community in regards to crime, you are the one with blinders on, not me.
As for my reading material....I just finished Thackeray's Vanity Fair (again), and I must admit...there seems to be a bit of Miss Becky Sharp in you, although without the coquettish charm. She didn't come to an entirely bad end, you know.

http://www.courierpostonline.com/art...ercom-incidentA Winslow man, who says he was traumatized by a public-address announcement directed at black shoppers in a Walmart store, is seeking $1 million in damages.
Donnell Battie has sued the retail giant over a March 14, 2010, incident at a Walmart on the Black Horse Pike in Washington Township. In that incident, a teenaged shopper allegedly got on the store’s intercom system and announced: “Attention, Walmart customers. All black people must leave the store.”
A 16-year-old from Atlantic County was later charged with harassment and bias intimidation in connection with that incident and a similar announcement in December 2009.
In his lawsuit, Battie says Walmart was negligent in failing to control access to the intercom system and that the announcement was “reasonably likely to harass or intimidate black people.”
Battie says he has needed medical care due to the incident’s impact. His lawsuit contends the incident caused “severe and disabling emotional and psychological harm, resulting in depression, anxiety, anger, loss of sleep, loss of appetite, paranoia, anti-social tendencies and loss of enjoyment in life activities.”
Battie is a middle-aged black man who’s experienced previous incidents of bias, said his attorney, John Klamo of Cherry Hill.
“Prior to this, he was receiving medical care for various issues related to being discriminated against,” said Klamo, who offered no details. “Here, he was in a public place and again prejudice rears its ugly head.”
Walmart spokesman Greg Rossiter noted the firm has apologized for the incident and has “updated our intercom system in the store to prevent this from happening in the future.”
[...]
Rossiter said the company was “appalled” by the incident, which he described as “backward and mean-spirited.”

I was just talking about this thread a few weeks ago, and I still stick by what I said. I prefer the redneck Walmart in the middle of no where to the Walmart we have here in Suburbia. It was all just a big joke that not so many people thought was very funny. Get over it, and get your panties out of a bunch dude.

Fuck Me! I am so sick to death of all whiny ass people who gets their feelings hurt and see dollar signs. Get off your ass and work for your shit like the rest of us do. And if you don't want to be offended, in any way, don't go into a fucking Walmart, period.
Now see what this jerk-off went and made me do? I got mad and it affected my entire outlook of the day. I am useless as I won't be able to control my temper with anymore asshats. Seeing as I work at a crisisline for teens and their parents, 99% of the callers will be treated like shit by me due to what I have suffered having read about this man's idiocy. I think I'm going to sue him for my emotional turmoil and disability because I am unable to perform my job to my usual standards. Anyone know a good lawyer?

That kid's parents have homeowner's insurance?
Covers this type of incident. There will be some kind of payout. Maybe not millions, but I bet at least a couple thousand just to make it go away.
Dear Mommy...I see you smile down there below...are those tears of joy you show? I'm glad you're happy, although you lied...I'd love to be right by your side...but by your choice, I view from above...tell my Grandparents I send my love...it's Beautiful here, is all I can say...your life will go on... without me in your way.
