(23,083 posts)Haven't heard it in a really long time. I also rarely see the confederate flag anymore (except in pictures of NASCAR events). I live in redneck No. FL, so maybe in the "deep" south as we call it, they're even further behind than we are?
As far as working, there aren't a ton of jobs here. Lots of people would love to have a job, but just don't have the training or experience for the jobs that are available, which are in banking, call centers and healthcare. Of course, there are some folks (like one of my cousins) who could work at least part time, but who don't want to. At least she's a liberal and doesn't want to prevent other people from being on disability and getting the same deal as her, so she's still better than the redneck slackers who only want that privilege for themselves or their families.
