Attacking and stereotyping poor white rednecks is actually psychological displacement of liberal racist impulses toward a safe, white target. When the MSM and liberals scorn Billy Bob and LouAnn, they’re really attacking NuShawn and LaToya by proxy.
Dinesh D’Souza does a great piece in “Hillary’s America” showing how Democrats north and south both supported slavery, and no Republicans north or south owned slaves. But the myth that the racists became Republicans in the 1970s-1980s let Democrats smear them as the racist party. Reality, less than 1% of Democrat officials EVER changed parties, while the Democrats continued to support Jim Crow and later welfare as enforced dependency.
