I think it would offend too many white people.
It would offend all of those white people whose favorite white historical figure was omitted (there are just too many worthy individuals to count).
Not to mention all of those limousine white Liberals who know that every great historical white figure was racist, homophobe who should have been shot for his thought crimes.
“There is a REDNECK AVE in a nearby town “
We had a local road called “HNIC Lane”. Some of you older vets here on FR will now what that stands for. The sole black man that lived at the end of HNIC Lane was the one that named it that! But someone got offended so the name was changed.
See post 21. A school did just that.
Didn’t work either.
Anybody remember the U of N. Colorado, Fighting Whities? I thought this was going to be all about how an intended insult to Americans of European heritage were going all in for another attempted dig. Instead, we have the NAALCP hyperventilating.

“... A school is supposed to be for education and showing people where we come from, our history...”
Whether you like it or not, that Confederate flag IS a part of our history...To ban it is an attempt to rewrite or change history...something that liberals are well known for....
No doubt “Cracker Day” would have been much more acceptable.
Don’t worry. Next MLK day, the white kids can show up in black-face.
In solidarity, of course.
I’ll bet that if they called it “Muslim Day” they would be lauded for their “diversity”.
A ‘’conservative’’ who flies a flag associated with Southern Democrats.Interesting. The flag that was attacked on Dec. 7,1941 and Sept.11,2001 sure as hell wasn’t The Stars and Bars. It sure as hell wasn’t the flag being raised on top of Mt. Surabachi and it sure as hell isn’t the one our men and women are serving under today.
I fly it right under Old Glory and by my Texas flag. My family tree is southerners from way back. I also fly The USMC flag.
but we certainly can't have "Redskins" as a football name, and we can't have any more "Aunt Jemimas" and we certainly can't offend the muzlems....
What is really funny is when people from outside the south come down and you see them in southern restaurants with their jaws stuffed with BBQ, biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, pork chops, cornbread...*LOL*
A Redneck was simply an honest, hardworking, sunup until sundown farmer with a permanently sunburned neck from tolling in the fields all his life.
Of course we learn that is not true any more. Leave it to the Liberal Socialists to relabel this innocuous term for my beloved antecedents into a pejorative image of hate against Conservative values.
Perhaps Anglo-American Necks or Necks of Color would have been more acceptable.
Old Glory.
God, Country, Corps, Family, and Self
Interesting. My Mississippi history textbook talked about rednecks. They were loyal to the Union. But maybe that’s not taught anymore. Maybe my memory is faulty. Maybe there’s a lot of ignorance floatin’ around.
“Redneck” is an offensive stereotype against whites. But go ahead and have a day for it. Actually why not call it “white person day” to be more inclusive and everyone can dress like dumb white people? I am sure that would make everyone happier.
Back in college had a “zoo” fraternity (think Animal House)
Dressed up as KKK for Halloween
Got expelled.......
