Well, first off, 'rednecks' aren't a social class, and they aren't a racial class. The term is used for someones social and political values. I *will not* apologize for calling somebody ignorant who thinks a certain race of people should sit in the back of a bus. I *will not* apologize for someone who believes women should be subjected to 'second class citizens', and belong 'in the kitchen and pregnant'. AND..I *will not* apologize for persons who think they have a right right to physically beat a child.
This has *nothing* to do with race, colour, sexual orientation, etc. It has to do with a group of people, a type of person, who believes in the above, based solely on their political and social views. Now *do* you understand?
