Aren’t rednecks the dumbest people in the world?

Their idea of fun is sitting at a racetrack watching cars go around in circles while they drink beer and listen to Hank Williams, Jr.

At least, that’s what some stupid hippie told me.

Of course, his idea of fun is sitting beside a hemp tapestry watching the walls go around in circles while he smokes pot and listens to Bob Marley.

At least, that’s what some idiot raver told me.

Although, his idea of fun is sitting on the floor of a dance club watching his friends go around in circles while he’s rolling on X and listening to The Orb.

It seems like everybody hates some type of person, but very few of us will admit it.

The liberal, politically-correct faction is a prime example. Many of them pride themselves on their lack of prejudice. 

They fight for equality and an end of stereotypes, but they stop their fight when they have solved the problems of race and sex.

When confronted by a person of overtly Southern persuasion, the instant stereotype is “redneck.”  

This is just as wrong as a white person hiding his valuables from a black person or a man expecting a woman to cook, clean and keep up with her soaps.  

However, in the college environment, I have noticed the “redneck” stereotype is much more prevalent and accepted.

The politically correct movement does nothing to stop this stereotype. In fact, I believe it purposefully perpetuates it.

I think many people desire a stereotype to hate, and if the movement were to completely remove all stereotypes, its followers would be left with an unfulfilled need to blindly hate.  

The result is hypocrisy.

Those people who preach about the removal of stereotypes often turn right around and view anyone with a strong southern accent as unintelligent.

People who like NASCAR are seen as drunken wife-beaters.  

I’m sure some of them do beat their wives, but then again, some politically correct, very hip lesbians do the same thing, and can drink a race fan under a table.    

So, how can we remove all stereotypes of color, sex, location, and class?

I don’t believe we can ever remove all the prejudice from the Ku Klux Klan, B-GLAD, the NAACP, the NCAA, FFA, SGA or anyone else stuck in between.  

Maybe, instead, we could remove some of the hypocrisy.  Before you attack someone for his or her prejudices, investigate your own.

If everyone were looking inward trying to solve their own internal problems, instead of throwing blame outward, the level of hatred couldn’t help but go down.

If that doesn’t work, we could always try war.  Yes, a war that turns all of our individual hatred toward a singular enemy could eradicate stereotypes from our homeland by aiming those prejudices elsewhere. 

In the 1940s, war began to put women in the work force. Now in the 1990s, it can do the same for white-trash Southerners. 

Heck, there might even be a few job openings for hippies and those little rave kids, too. 

That’s why, I, Nathan McKinney, on behalf of the people of the earth, declare war on the moon.

Rise up friends. Cast aside your petty grievances with your neighbors.

Join in the fight for our very survival, and remember: Moon people suck big time.
