.aaaaaaaaand it begins.   Fucking niggers that's all Kentucky is and ever will be
I find it extremely hurtful to use derogatory terms like that. Why did you bring this up?
People in Kentucky are indeed proud of their heritage and most likely will not let some liberal nigger-loving commie from maryland talk shit about it.
Using derogatory terms to refer the people especially one of that extreme isn't right. Using language like that can be extremely hurtful towards them. If you really do understand why that term is hurtful, you should look into how that term came to be.
