because redneck / hillbillie /cracker to a white individual doesn't have the same negative cogitation as #@** / *%@%$% / ghetto to a black personOriginally Posted by Josednk1068
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....Originally Posted by RetroSan
country artist make songs embracing being a hillbillie/redneck, does that mean i'm suppose to assume all white people are hillbillies/rednecks?

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".

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 thereOriginally Posted by RetroSan

so you are really saying those terms don't have just as much a negative aspect on white folk than ghetto has on black folk? man you are really one sided my friend
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?.Originally Posted by Jay02

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.
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.Originally Posted by RetroSan

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"![]()
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.Originally Posted by Josednk1068

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