But if you said " your acting like a redneck" to a white person they are not going to get butt hurt because they understand its out there....
  

because redneck / hillbillie /cracker  to a white individual doesn't have the same negative cogitation as #@** / *%@%$% / ghetto to a black person

Thats because those people are from the "hood & ghetto" and never, in any of the songs I've listened to, have they every said, "this song is strictly for black people".

If its obvious that she was trying to act like something she is not then I see where you're coming from, in the end people who try to act like something they aren't are in the end only hurting themselves...to answer the question I absolutely hate when people put on a show to "impress" or "show off" to other, when I went away to Ohio for school I dealt with white girls ALWAYS doing this, hated it

Im not disagreeing with the point you're trying to make, but country music is no where near hillbillie redneck. Or it would be called hillbillie music. Half the music is about girls, not about losing your other lateral incisor. Country people are midwest, hillbillies are down south. Just throwin that out there

They don't IMO.

For a few reasons.

Stereotypes affect the majority and minority in different ways.

When people see a white person acting like a redneck or a goth or whatever they don't extrapolate that person to all white people.

When people see a black person acting stereotypically "ghetto" they often extrapolate it to all black people and just brush off folks like Obama as the exception. That's why I always cringe when I see black folks act ignorant. It reflects on our entire race.

i was in Ft. Lauderdale, FL when i was like 13 and i heard a song called Redneck Yacht Club by a dude name Craig Morgan. Now don't get me wrong when i was young and impressible my favorite artist was Trace Atkins and my favorite song was Do You Want Fries with That?.
I'm just saying that even if "Afro-American" artist are embracing there hood upbringing, must of them are glad to be out of the hood and they mainly rap about the hardship of life in the hood and how it molded them to the person they are today not its "positives" 

 im not being one-sided, i'm just saying that the negative terms about white people (if those are even negative) does not have the same value of defamation and as the terms associated with black people
Edit: @Josednk1068 im not being one-sided, i'm just saying that the negative terms about white people (if those are even negative) does not have the same negative lineage the as the terms associated with black people

The white friends that I have will get extremely "butt hurt" if you called them a redneck.
I'm starting to notice a pattern with you.

I have heard the term that RetroSan listed "cracker" to associate with all white people. Just like "ghetto" to associate with black people.

Yea I definitely see what your saying. Was just saying idk if it was the best analogy cause people who grew up on a farm, which are where most of country singers came from, arent rednecks.  I see rednecks as low life dirty alcoholics. There may be songs out there that reference rednecks for all I know I dont have the most in depth knowledge of the music. I have to listen to it everyday at work, and grew up listening to it cause of my mom so thats as far as I know. My moms side of the family owns a farm in South Dakota so im a city boy who's experienced that lifestyle many many times. A very different lifestyle but nothing redneck about it.

Well there is a difference between the terms redneck and cracker. One is a negative term attributed to white folks who act a certain way, the other one is a racial slur.

 

[kramer]

Man there were definitely some kids at my high school that I considered redneck and I don't wanna be like that

 

[battousai701]

educate yourself and get to know people in the real world instead of relying on stereotypes

 

[buggz05]

I feel this thread has served its purpose and made significant light.

 

[mycoldyourdone]

i think the non deletion of this thread is a little pick and choosy.

 

[thytkerjobs]

smh

 

[verbatim2d]

how about talking to your cousin instead of judging....and thats your own fam, i'd hate to see how you treat others.
