Quote HistoryQuoted: If you think we don't have rednecks and hillbillies up here, you would be mistaken. A guy up the road from my dad's place lives in what is essentially a shack. I'm talking plywood over a dirt floor. I got to witness someone pull his last tooth at a party one night, said it was bothering him so they got some pliers and yanked it out.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have thankfully moved past my redneck upbringing. I tried my best. Farming wasn't for me, nor was taking pride in making my truck as loud as possible. Ironically, I now make a good chunk of my money from farms and the work they need done. |

I’m a blue collar worker with 5 kids (oldest is 7!) a bunch of crap in my yard, an above ground pool, and my favorite beer is natural light. I’d argue that I’m not white trash just because I have a high school diploma and don’t receive any government benefits, but I’d have a damn hard time making a case that I’m not a redneck.

When I was a boy, I helped take Christmas food baskets from church, to the poor side of town. I was in houses with dirt floors... this was in a town of 22,000 or so in the'60s. I watched a fellow at work use his Leatherman tool to pull his OWN tooth in the breakroom. |

I’m a hillbilly. Grew up around the hollers of east KY and SE Ohio.
That being said I wouldn’t consider redneck an insult. I’m also not concerned in the slightest if I’m called a bigot, racist, asshole, dick, etc. |

Insult since redneck is a convenantor.
In Scotland in the 1640s, the Covenanters rejected rule by bishops, often signing manifestos using their own blood. Some wore red cloth around their neck to signify their position, and were called rednecks by the Scottish ruling class to denote that they were the rebels in what came to be known as The Bishop's War that preceded the rise of Cromwell. Eventually, the term began to mean simply "Presbyterian", especially in communities along the Scottish border. Because of the large number of Scottish immigrants in the pre-revolutionary American south, some historians have suggested that this may be the origin of the term in the United States. https://www.liquisearch.com/redneck/historical_scottish_covenanter_usage I'm non-denominational. |

This is why we are losing, because we can’t fight like they fight with us. We should all agree that a redneck is a racist term because it’s a white person that is stupid because of the color of their skin. If we did that to a black person and made a name that referred to them as being dumb and reflected the color of their skin it would be called racist. So as we put our tail between our legs and let them pull all their shit that they do and we let them get away with this. Redneck is racist, many are too feeble minded to see it that way even though it could be used to fight the liberals.
