Title: Redneck Scapegoats

Cultural critic Jim Goad explains that the redneck and white trash stereotypes fit all of the traditional scapegoat requirements: rednecks and white trash have biological differences (buck toothed, inbred, and stupid); geographic and regional differences (rural areas and trailer parks); economic differences (sick, lazy, and dirty); cultural differences (loud, superstitious, and excessive); and moral differences (racist, violent, and alcoholic).

Poster Comment:

The full article is far too long, and covers too much ground, but the author is pointing out something very true: while we're not supposed to say bad things about any minority, be they black or Mexican or gay or Jew, the one group which is pretty much invisible to the media (and which it is okay to mock and disdain), are the white working classes.

Oddest part of this inbred hatred for white trash is the fact that when the good white people involve this country in a war, we are the first ones that are invited to attend.

If we ignore their "greetings", men with guns come for us.

True, but I've long thought when our military succumbed to the diversity set back in the early 70s, it was time to pack it in. When a HS drop out, midget gay Marine is waved into camp, it's time to raise the white flag.

Even after Truman, the military resisted as long as it could. This resistance ceased when perfumed star people rose to the top.

In 1950 our squadron was totally integrated on paper. We had one black officer, one black enlisted man. We had no girls. We had gays but they played by the unwritten rules.

Over time however as PC generals etc rose to the top, all of that changed. Now the typical aircraft carrier sails with up to 800 "girls" aboard, and assorted male "girlies".

Vifredo Pareto divided rulers into two classes: the Foxes who use fraud, and the Lions who use force. The masses of men he called Sheep, except he didn't point out how bloodthirsty they are.

The bulk of the sheep/cannon-fodder has always been working class. The media likes to pretend it's black or Mexican, but it's not. Most of the military has overwhelmingly been Scots-Irish working-class, i.e., rednecks, hillbillies, etc. The media completely ignores that, except to portray them as Beverly Hillbillies.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

white working classes

"Working class" is very different from the description above, which has a lot of veracity.

We demand our United States Constitution be restored.
