We always worry when someone strays beyond the suburbs. If they go into the countryside their car will likely be surrounded by angry white people and they will be pulled out and severely beaten.
Funny how it’s never videoed.
Maybe there are no cellphones in the country.
Tom Schaller and Paul Waldmam are both MSNBC homosexual Bolsheviks.
One was employed by Media Matters and the other FiveThirtyEight. They know much more about San Francisco bathhouse parties than they do about rural America.

the splenetic hostility for their countrymen of condescending elitists like the authors of White Rural Rage.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What these fools don’t comprehend is that their ilk are despised not only by many White people in rural areas of the country, but also by many highly educated Whites in cities around the world, AND by many people of color everywhere.
It’s splenetic alright!
The authors are projecting.
Bkmk
Those authors better not talk with their mouths full.
They’d be getting mighty hungry without rural whites.
If this country were run 100% by the people disparaged in this book it would be so much better you wouldn’t even recognize it.

Mare of Easttown - Season 1
Thumbs down
I’ve noticed that I either give a thumbs up or thumbs down, definitely thumbs down on this. I am very insulted by the writer’s depiction of a “ red neck, poor white trash “community where the suggestion is everyone has an inherited mental illness....
Edit review
My review went on to show every family with an unmarried daughter with a child and of course every man was walking around with a beer in his hand.
Perhaps if the authors got out of their leftist bubble and actually spent time with rural Americans they might have a different opinion than their preconceived notion that all rural folks are racist knuckle dragging hillbillies. Perhaps if they spent time getting to know people in places like Murdo, SD, Pipestone, MN or Chariton, IA or hundreds of other small towns in middle America or in the south, they might have a better picture of rural Americans.
An excellent article about a book I’m sure to avoid.
As someone who lives in a small Central Kentucky town, I know the book is almost total b.s. At Walmart blacks and whites walk around freely without harassment and I often see blacks and rural white people have jovial conversations. I never see black waiters being harassed.
Oh, and BTW, people with open carry guns don’t seem to be scary to anyone either.
Based on the review, the book is total B.S. However, I have believed for quite some time that rural eastern Kentucky (and areas of other states) share some of the same problems as black urbanites. Both groups struggle to live and be accepted because:
1) Neither group cares about speaking the language anywhere close to properly. This holds them back from moving to a more prosperous area and also shuns someone from outside who might be thinking of investing in their area.
2) Related is the problem common to both groups are that they don't value a good education. A company thinking of investing and locating in any area wants an educated workforce.
I know someone who had a friend who advised him to try to get a factory job at Square D and brought him an application. My friend filled it out and sent it back via his friend. Square D liked what they saw on the application and soon called him in for an interview. When he got there, they made him fill out another application. Why? Because Square D wanted to know if my friend, from a very rural county, could really read and write.
Also, I know a woman who had 5 brothers; none of whom completed high school, though all or most got their GED later.
3) Illegal drug use is rampant in both areas.
4) The citizens of both areas are prone to fall for the lure of "get rich quick" ideas, which leads to all sorts of crazy crimes being committed, which leads to being caught, which leads to spending time in prison.
Sigh. Feel free to add to the list.
