Rednecking

posted by Ben Witherington | 5:00pm Friday June 19, 2009
 My fellow United Methodist, Jeff Foxworthy has made a living off of redneck jokes. I once shared a stage with him at the North Georgia Conference. Though I am a southern boy, I couldn’t hold a candle to him. He’s got a corner on the redneck market. But there are plenty of rednecks in N.C. as well. In fact we used to have a disk jockey in Raleigh whose call name was Red Neckerson.  Then too there was a rumor that N.C. state troops stopped anyone at the state line comin’ north from S.C. and checked their necks to make sure they were from S.C. It was an instant I.D. This nice little collection of odds and sods comes my way courtesy of my friend Jim Horn, not known to be a redneck, but rather a proper Kentucky Gentleman.  Enjoy. BW3

So what makes Redneck jokes any different to jokes about Blondes? Irish people? Colored people?
Surely a someone who claims to walk in a life of Christianity should have a little more restraint and tact rather than reproduce a series of lame jokes which can be aimed at any particular person/group/race you like by the simple exchange of one word; in this case, Redneck.
As Jesus once said, “Love thy neighbor”. Give it a try some time, rather than insulting whole groups of your neighbors.
