Change the word “Redneck” to “African-American” and tell you you would have enough nerve to tell the same ‘joke”
I think not.
Change the word “Redneck” to “African-American”...

This was told in a forum that contains a contingent of rednecks or those descended from them.
In a group of blacks, you would have lists concerning Cousin Pookie. Go listen to black comedians from the 60s or earlier. Jackie Mason had Jewish audiences peeing their pants when he poked fun at stereotypes we all knew or were related to (and they aren’t the ones you get from Stormfronters).
Funny is funny and if I told you some Yiddish jokes from the 1950s, you’d need a cry closet. But you likely wouldn’t understand them because they come from before your time and concern a population/environment you don’t know well enough.
To tell the truth, many, many whites come from redneck backgrounds or live in redneck areas. Many, many blacks have a Cousin Pookie and old-time immigrant Jews recognized their shared neuroses and the village stereotypes that are themselves or people they were related to.
Ethnic humor abounds, all over the globe. Tell me your background and I bet someone will find a so-close-to-the-truth joke about it, that you will laugh, or at least crack a smile.
And if you aren’t capable of that, we’ll all just pray for you.
