Redneck?

The S.C. Hispanic Leadership Council believes its voice is missing from the state’s immigration debate.

Now, the council wants to be involved as politicians debate more than a dozen immigration bills that have been filed this legislative session.

“We didn’t just want to come to a meeting where everybody talks nice,” said Ivan Segura, the leadership council’s president. “We want to be effective.”

Have no fear, there's at least one group living up the promise of "not talking nice..."

“We need to have a more unified voice and get out there and talk to politicians so they’re hearing from others besides — pardon my expression — ignorant rednecks,” said Ken Carey, a member of the leadership council.

Redneck?

Hmmm, I wasn't aware that the term 'Redneck' was a compliment, but wait, there are dictionaries right here, online, I wonder what they'll have to say....

Main Entry: red·neck
Pronunciation: \ˈred-ˌnek\
Function: noun
Date: 1830

1sometimes disparaging : a white member of the Southern rural laboring class2often disparaging : a person whose behavior and opinions are similar to those attributed to rednecks
— redneck also red·necked Listen to the pronunciation of rednecked \-ˌnekt\ adjective

It may be sometimes or it may be often but what do you know? It's always disparaging. I will be damned.

But remember folks, according to Hannitized, even though you don't use racial epithets no matter how mild, or racial supremacist language, always remember, you are the racist!
