Ma’am, I also am a redneck, along with swampsniper. And, no, I do not believe what he said about them. I do not for a moment believe he ever spoke to a redneck about anything. He certainly never called me! It appears to me that he is attempting to spread the guilt around a little by mentioning rednecks, but he doesn’t have to do that. I don’t think many people in America believe that because Vick does this that every black in the country is either doing this or somehow aiding in it. Vick, and all his associates in this, should go down and go down hard.
I just wanted to say this about the rednecks I know. I live in rural central florida, and I’ve gotten to know a lot of them. I even have a couple that work for me. They are generally very outgoing and friendly, always willing to help. They are also the kind of people I love dealing with. You ask them something and they answer right off the top of their head. Tell you instantly what they think. Very likable and very easy to get along with. A few may lack some sophistication, but when you work around a bunch of academics, like I do, who are all PHD’s, scientists, or graduate students, most of which are constantly trying to impress, rednecks and their laid back approach, is refreshing and pleasant.
