We are all rednecks!
No, no we’re actually not.
I’m so sick of redneck jokes about Alabama and the southeast in general. They’re old, tired, and idiotic at this point.
For one, Alabama and the southeast actually has some of the best economic conditions in a America right now. A home that would cost over half a million in some parts of the country like New York City or California would only cost 100-200 thousand dollars around here, because our housing rates didn’t balloon like theirs, which means we’re not so much feeling this whole “can’t sell my house crisis.” We have jobs around here, especially in Huntsville with the BRAC.
Also, people seem to think everyone in Alabama is stupid. Guess what? We’re not. We have the country’s major technological centers right here in Alabama. Huntsville? Basically every piece of hardware we’ve sent into space was built there. By rednecks apparently. Mobile? We’re building the newest Navy ships there. Atlanta, GA has some of the foremost medical centers in the country.
Yet people still want to call us rednecks. Why? I don’t know. But we’re not all stupid, and we don’t all marry our cousins. So the next time you feel like making a redneck joke, would you kindly go piss off. Thank you.
I feel better now. :D
