| | Review: The Redneck Manifesto (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | This book is a brilliantly-written defense of the working-class white male, who has been disparaged in American culture with terms like "redneck", "cracker", and "honky", and caricatured as being a "rifle-totin', booger-eatin', beer-bellied swine flesh, [s]keeter-bitten, ball-tuggin', homo-hatin', pig-f**kin', daughter-gropin' slug". |
 | | He argues that class, not race, is the principal force of "oppression" in America, and that lower-class whites, who are descendants of original indentured servants, have never been in a position to oppress anyone, and in fact have historically been treated far worse than fl slaves. |
 | | The real villains, according to Goad, are not 'rednecks' but the Federal Government, Liberals, the Media, and the European upper class and their descendants, who used a policy of divide-and-conquer to create antagonism between lower-class whites and fls in order to maintain the class structure in America. |
