Hearing Donald Trump's rhetoric, I thought of a song by Randy Newman way back when.

[CTyankee]

It was called "Rednecks" and it epitomized racism, albeit only Southern racism at the time.

If Newman is still alive, I hope he comes back with another rendition of "Rednecks" to remind us all of that time in U.S. history.

1. The song actually called out racism as it existed, then and now, in places other than

the old South.

East St. Louis, the south side of Chicago, other places he names that I can't remember off the top of my head.

He very justly calls out the banality, backwardness, and the provincialism of right-wing white Southerners. But racists elsewhere don't escape his satirical wit.

2. I love the line "We're rednecks, rednecks, we don't know our ass from a hole in the

ground..."

Bring it back Randy!

3. he is still alive

fortunately!

4. wonderful! I hope he can come back and help us get that groove again...

boy, do we need it!
