Easy. See your above posts. All of them.

Before your head explodes with anger, please refrain from clicking the reply button and instead ponder why you just might be wrong.

That seems to be what you're doing. Making fun of rednecks isn't racism and you have yet to show evidence to support your opinion -which you'll never be able to do.

the part where everyone is laughing at a stupid joke and you being the only one offended and you arent even a redneck. Thats the part where you made a fool of yoruself. YOU are the only one that cares and it doesnt even affect YOU. Now, why dont you just sit down, follow brutskends pill advice and laugh at a dumb joke thats not offensive.

The thing is, Ive read all my posts, and all of the replies, and Ive yet to see anybody dispute that it is racism by using information from a credible source.

Also, my head is not about to explode with anger. I am actually switching between replying in this thread, and writing an essay for class, so theres no room for headexplodation.

How can we dispute something you have yet to prove?

So by your logic if I make a joke about hippies that too would be racism?

BTW: I'm probably closer to a hippie than any other "group" you may want to put me in, and yet I have made jokes about hippies.

I make JOKES about damn near ANYTHING.

Jokes are good, they lighten people up (most times at least) and so, I will continue to do so....

You are a strange young man....

So I guess that you must have just skipped over the parts where I quoted information directly from online dictionaries. One of which has been producing dictionaries since 1831?

Oh thats right, youre Nik. YOU know everything. Im so sorry. Please forgive me good sir.

So then I shouldnt stand up against X even if it doesnt apply to me? I seem to remember some old story that goes something like this:

Something is being taken away from person X. Since I am not person X, and since it doesnt apply to me, I do nothing. Next, something is being taken away from person Y. Since I am not person Y, and since it doesnt apply to me, I do nothing. This series goes on for a bit, until finally something is being taken from me. At this point, everybody else has had that something already taken away from then. Since I abandoned my fellows in the past, now I stand alone against the masses.

Even though it doesnt apply to me doesnt mean I should ignore it. I sure hope you arent saying that I shouldnt speak up for another group of people(blacks, whites, jews, rednecks) if I am not a member of said group. That doesnt seem very human to me. Besides, there may come the day when I am discriminated against, and I would surely hope that I would not be standing alone.

Yet to prove? You truly do not know how to read if you cannot read the entries in a dictionary. I have even done you the favor of bolding out the relevant parts, but still you just ignore them. Bravo sir.

It sounds to me like you live a paranoid and sad life.

You've ignored the replies to those posts. Redneck isn't a race. You have absolutely no argument.

Hippies? I dont know about them. Rednecks would be the issue of this thread.

I make a good number of jokes about a good number of things, but I also freely admit that Im a racist.

Please point out what replies I have ignored and I will promptly respond. I apologize if I forgot one in the flurry.

Indeed I may, but then again I feel good to know that in this country I can freely live whatever paranoid and sad life that I wish to.

its odd that dictionary.com says that race can also be called humans considered as a group. LOL what a flawed defintion. I play with a group of musicians. Looks like we are a race. I have my own line group at my work. Anyone who dislikes my line group MUST be racist! LOL

btw, ignore Abix. He's a 12 year old boy that relies on the dicionary to sound knowledgable.

Well if you think you're a racist for making jokes about hippies and rednecks, you're wrong. :)

No, I am pointing out that the word "redneck" or "white trash" is racist. My own racism doesnt come into account here.

Just because a blind man knows that a banana is yellow doesnt make that banana any less yellow.
