What do you have against rednecks?
Rednecks just mean someone who is country and works outside for a living. A simple life but honest. These kind of good ole-boys is what we need more of. NOT the kind that are coming out of Harvard like b.h.o. and other brainwashed elite. Country folks and blue collar workers (and cowboys) are the meat and potatoes of this country and received a bad rap these last few decades.

Chris Kyle was not a redneck anyway nor portrayed as one in the movie. He was a TEXAN, a cowboy with the same qualities, in my opinion, as a true TEXAN.

I think the actor accurately shows Chris Kyle to be a strong, good, kind, and noble man. One that would certainly have my heart and admiration. Being country, or cowboy, or suburban blue collar ‘regular folks’ needs to be recognized for the good qualities they truly represent.

How is saying “sounded like a bad redneck accent” in the trailer translate to hating rednecks? You people need to pull that stick out of your keesters and read some.

What was the line in the movie that Kyle (Cooper)said about rednecks???? I can’t remember it - lot’s of “sensory overload” still from seeing it yesterday.

Unfortunately the media has portrayed people with these qualities as simpletons for so long when we see a character like this in a movie we automatically assume that this will be the case.
