I hate people who don't know the true meaning of a redneck. A redneck isn't just some poor, dumb, guy/girl living in the South. The term is one of true American pride. Back in the 1930's and 40's, the term came about because of a certain group of people. They were rural laborers who grew the corn and cotton and cut the wood to feed, clothe and grow our country. On the weekends, they went to town to buy the few things they didn't grow or make. They were honest, hard working and the backbone of the country.
They came into town wearing a worn pair of boots, and a clean pair of work clothes. Their necks were sunburned because they toiled in the hell hot Southern sun. Their life was one based on working hard and providing for their families.
People today don't understand the difference between a redneck and white trash. The wife-beater, beer swilling image isn't the one of a redneck. People like that aren't limited to the South, they're all over our country.
So, before you state you hate toward rednecks, take the time to understand what a redneck really means. Nov 2 3:57 PM MST
