Redneck And Hillbilly?
What do these names mean to you?
Are they the same?
If someone called you one of these names would you think it was a racist remark?
If you do find these to be racist remarks is it ok for one white person to call another white person these names like blacks do with the n word?

Comments on Redneck And Hillbilly?
I posted a question earlier about this very thing. A person was being racist to blacks and in response to his post he was called a redneck which is a derogatory term used for white people and just as unacceptable as any other derogatory term used for blacks, Asians, Mexicans and gays. It is all unacceptable in my eyes. I do think that if people find a derogatory word bothers them then they should not use it, if a black person finds the N word unacceptable than they should not use it either, In my opinion the N word is flung about so carelessly within the black community that people seem to think it is less offensive than it is and when it is used by other races they become upset. Unfortunately within the black community where I am at there seems to a sense of entitlement where racism is concerned. They can be racist because they are a minority but are quick to point out racism in others. I hate this because I am not a racist in any way but I am surrounded by it daily and sometimes I struggle to not become bitter when I am discriminated against because I am white.
Um..im not sure why you are asking this here….but! It is racist!
I want to add! I am a redneck! I just get offended when other races scream about every nickname and white’s are supposed to be okay with ‘cracker, hillbilly and redneck’, when they are using it in a derogatory way!
I grew up in the back roads of West Virginia and Kentucky. I don’t find it offensive when called a hillbilly. By the grace of God I am what I am and proud of it. We can all be rednecks. Redneck is an attitude. Hillbilly is being born a raised in the country.
