I guess that's the nature of a white man. White man = bad man (hope this isn't racist).

People are jealous of us because when civilization crumbles, and life in the cities is no longer possible, we hicks will still be around.

First of all, it's "racist" and not "racial". Second, you're not even using it properly. Hicks aren't a race.

Well, beside NASCAR being, IMO the dumbest race I've ever seen, people just put bad connotation.

Hicks are seen as stupid, incest encouraging, promiscuous sexual activity undertakers, marriage at 12 trailer trash, trailer trash, doesn't care about appearances, are messy, drink, get fat, don't take showers...etc.

I'm not saying that hicks are like that, but that is what people see them as.

"Son, she's still a Virgin Take HER BACK!!. IF she ain't good enough for her family, she surely aint good enough for ours."

Wrong... but funny.

You should be banned for using racial slurs like "h*ck" in your title.
hick is not a race. It is a description of a type of person. Like fat and ugly.

It's interesting that you think you've associated yourself with them, especially since Orego is about as far away from the South as you can get. And yes, I am saying that when people think of hicks, they think of the southern belt states. I would not consider a farming community in rural Oregon (LOL) as one that would include hicks.
Yup, we're talking bout Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas - this one is th weirdest one. Looks like it's supposed to be pronounced Are-Kansas, but it turns around and hits you in the face with Are-can-saw.

... you might be a redneck.

Neither are homosexuals and we can't talk negatively about them.
I'm telling you man, fat people one day will fight back. One day..... maybe... no one cares. Fat people are too lazy to fight back. Gay people are slim. I myself am fat.

Whats funny is seeing a white guy call another white guy white trash. Apparently its a bad thing.
lol. That's like Biggie, getting prosecuted for saying the N word.

This post isn't meant to offend anyone. I apologize if I have.

Nope. I've always been me. You might not remember me because I'm an old timer (some say that's good, others say bad). ;)

Like "The N-word" describes someone who is niggardly, which according to Merriam-Webster Online means:

1 : grudgingly mean about spending or granting : BEGRUDGING
2 : provided in meanly limited supply

"The N-word" itself refers to "a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons".

Of course it, just like hick and redneck, has been applied to a single race, and is meant as a slur.

Racial means "of or relating to a race". A "racial slur" is a slur relating to race. Pretty simple.

I wouldn't consider gays "socially disadvantaged". I think that "socially disadvantaged" is just a PC term for poor.
