I think it's basically cool to be dumb. That's from a lot of walks of life. Some people value intellectual status, others say you're not being real if you have smarts.
Its such a ridiculously stupid counter-culture. Much like the rap subculture. Why would rappers pride themselves on being murderers, rapists, drug addicts/dealers, etc? Same with this entire Redneck thing. Why would someone be proud of being uneducated, dirty, descendants of people who fought for slave ownership, etc?

There is a difference between an ignorant hate-filled racist, and plain good ole boy. But apparently the rest of nation doesn't care to understand that. They'd just rather continue to remind us about the war, even though the general population here doesn't dwell on it.
I do feel concerned for someone that truly, honestly believes the south is only populated by people that are dirty, racist, dumbass psychos that live in trailers and have ever read a book without pictures in their lives. Hollywood be damned for planting this image into people's brains.

i'm southern, and I have a slight accent, but i am not a redneck.
i'm intelligent, funny, and a lady. just because I have a slight twang, some ppl seem to think I can't possibly possess the traits I listed.
I love proving those people wrong

Speaking of that,i hear "The South" only refers to states that were of the Confederacy in the Civil War.Depending on who you talk to,Texas may or may not be part of the South.
I like how she can hold the beer and the cigarette in one hand. True sign of one.
I don't approve of rednecks, but I don't hate them either.
I voted can't decide, I'll tell you what.
not sure about the face, but i would totally hit that...even thought her boobs are a bit saggy.
Sheesh, I wouldn't even consider it. Beer+Cig+Confederate Flag = turnoffs X3.
