nothing wrong with liking country music, driving a jacked up F150 or using dip, or frankly even being a ‘redneck’.
But you must admit that for the past 3-400 years of this country’s history, rednecks did not exactly embody diversity, inclusion, open mindedness, education. And the lynchings did not help the redneck cause. Maybe that is changing but that much history is very, very difficult for many to overcome.
I can tell you that as a person of brown skin, when I see a car/truck with a confederate flag i don’t feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
