does anyone else love the vibe when you’re leaving a concert and everyone’s just walking on the roads together or is that just me??
You can identify a fake redneck by their passionate support of “blue lives matter.” Real rednecks have been in at least one physical fight and/or high-speed chase with police officers and would do it again
“redneck” is a valid culture, not a euphemism for “bigot”
this is a reminder that one of the historical roots of racialized slavery in the United States comes from the “Slave Codes” of 1705 that made slavery firmly based on skin color instead of circumstances
One of the biggest influences on creating these codes was “Bacon’s Rebellion” where white indentured servants and black slaves united to attack the Virginian Governor and thoroughly spooked the ruling aristocracy that feared the disenfranchised teaming up to overthrow them
remember: race divisions were orchestrated in the US to maintain class hierarchy, racism did not just happen– it was constructed intentionally to keep people divided based on perceived differences.
The narrative of the “Redneck vs the Black man” is a false one that is purposefully spread and popularized to extend the status quo.
Shout out to acclaimed horror mangaka Junji Ito for writing a cute slice of life comedy about competing with his wife for the affection of his two cats and REFUSING to change his eerie, body-horror-filled, vertigo-inducing art style at all for its entire duration
Don’t forget about KISS KISS
Terrifyingly adorable tbh
