Letters to the Editor: April 16, 2017

Is New Albany the No. 2 redneck city in Mississippi? There is a post on Facebook entitled “A hilarious look at the 10 most redneck cities in Mississippi” that is apparently going viral. It lists New Albany as the No. 2 most redneck city in the state. The criteria used for this post includes the number of trailer parks, barbeque restaurants, dollar stores, tobacco stores and gun stores, as well as the percentage of folks who spend time hunting and fishing. There are many definitions of “redneck.” Comedian Jeff Foxworthy just says it’s a “glorious lack of sophistication.” Although I don’t consider myself a redneck, my family has lived in Mississippi for 170 years, and I have a noticeable accent.
