Many White Americans Fail to Assimilate
Oh, you’re 100% right. It’s just frustrating and sad that Ronnie Van Zant died, because I don’t think Skynyrd were really associated with that ideology before the plane crash. They were white trash from the South, sure, but they were also a bunch of hippies trying to show that there was more to the American South than the racism decried by Neil Young in “Southern Man.”
Such is the duality of The Southern Thing.
