Ever since outsiders found we had something valuable under our land, they’ve been stereotyping us as inbred, ignorant hicks. Look at movies like Wrong Turn or Deliverance. Look at old cartoons of hillbilly moonshiners fighting off the ‘dadburn revenoors.’ Beverly Hillbillies. They want to portray us as sub-human so they don’t have to recognize their guilt for poisoning us and destroying our land so they can ‘keep their lights on.’ Meanwhile, many of us barely afford the electricity that our coal produced. It’s a sick, sad world.
