Then don't post something ignorant like that. You see, some of us are, by the common man's definition, a redneck. But, most people that are by the common man's definition "redneck" are not racist. Then will come in the other stereotype of "hick" "stupid" etc. Well, there are a vast majority of us working on higher education with plans to gain even more higher education. So, that disproves the stereotype of that as well.
When you make a thread like this, and then post an ignorant thing like you did, people are bound to start flaming you. And people are bound to keep at it until you realize how ignorant of a remark and stupid it was to post it.
As has been said, all the talk about racism is what perpetuates it. Making a thread is contributing to racism. Stereotypes contribute to racism. When people stop acknowledging the race of someone and the color of their skin and start acknowledging the fact that everyone is human, that is when racism will truly die.
