• They are not mutually exclusive however, as I have met people who are both. Me, I'm just redneck. Check out my Geek question, Lady. You will enjoy I'm sure.

• I just want to correct all of you. I do this a lot and yes I am proud to be a "redneck women". Here is clarification the term comes from a group of coal miners who marched from Clarksburg WV to Logan County WV, to help their brother unionize the coal mines in the southern part of the state. To make sure that when the fighting started everyone knew who was who, the "good guy" wore red bandanas around there necks. They also wore them all through the court trials that followed. The term also refers to sharecroppers from the south that would have there necks sunburned from the hard days work. Both of which I beleive are hard working and noble professions. These men worked hard and took care of their wives and children with what was given them. The true virtrue of being a redneck is that we can and will make the best of whatever we are given in life. I come from a long line of sharecroppers and coalminers on 1 side and indians of the other.I am proud 2B redneck,w/ a BS CIV ENG.

• My family is fro middle Georgia and grew up in a double wide trailer and we bought shoes once a year if we needed them or not. We swam at the sandbar of the river where my folks owned some property. And was brought up where when the three year old used the N word, he was patted on the back. I did well in school and dropped out of college like everyone else I knew after 2 semesters. i then got a job making $7 an hour (min wage was 2.85 at the time. It was good money. I started looking around and did not like what I saw. I went back to school, got re-interested in education and "bettering myself". I now make a crap load of money, am trying to instill a strong work ethic and conservative morals to my children and believe I earned everything I have and it should be mine and mine alone.

• Redneck is a term that has been used derogatorily to invoke racist, ignorant, backwoods southern culture. I am no Civil war flag waving asshole, but my family came from immigrant farmers who busted their ass to become tax paying Americans. Did they earn a lot? No. Did they leave their children a lot? No. Did they have all of their teeth when they died? No. American culture has shifted from the basic values that built this country. They do it by making fun of the southern working culture and it feeds the bigotry that lies underneath our society. Now, everyone can stereotype us as cousin lovin' morons, but if anyone uses a pickaninny stereotype for a black person then they are somehow evil. If you come from the group that is being stereotyped, it hurts.

• Someguy - I guess for me, your background and experience doesn't deem you a redneck (IMO). You just sound like a southern boy who did well for yourself. To me, a redneck is about attitudes and choices and a lower caliber of person. (Though I remember when it literally refered to men whose necks were red from working in the sun). My fathers family all live in trailers in deep south Arkansas. They buy brand new Cadillacs every two years and they drove me on a tour of "Niggertown" which was when we crossed the street to where the black folk lived. As a northerner, I was shocked, but I understood it was a part of their culture. I am surprised you would consider yourself a redneck - you just sound like an American to me! I still don't get why it was offensive though - with the term "Redneck" being used in marketing so heavily by comedians etc, it seems so commercialized and almost a novelty. Does the "Redneck Comedy Tour" offend you? Just wondering :o)

• Someguy - our comments crossed in posting. I have read your last and understand much better now. I think the difference is that I have never used that in the derogatory way which you have described. Your comment describing the sterotypical aspects is brilliant and I wish more people would read it.

• Thank you for the compliment, but...
  We are rednecks. My cousin's kids think their dad will pay for their college when he wins the lottery. They get excited when he buys tickets b/c they want to go to college. I had a Panama City Beach tag on my car in High school. We had a Niggertown as well, which ironically had nicer houses than ours.
  I am proud of where I came from and am upset at the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. It makes the redneck into a clown. Sort of the white Fetchinstep. I truly am offended because people make fun of any social group. I don't want ANY group marginalized by stereotypes. It is hypocritical to make fun of one and get outraged when another is made fun of. Now, I don't mind funny - there are funny redneck jokes, but when you get to the point of making fun of it crosses a line.

• Thank you very much. We need a best of the Answer Bag section (not saying this should be one of them, but I have read (and written) some pretty profound stuff here and it should be saved off for all eternity.
  So, if I may ask, what happened to your plurality? Why is it This Daley?

• Someguy - I totally agree that we, as Americans, need to stop tearing down the pockets of culture that dot our nation and start embracing different groups before we lose our identity into one big homogeneous blob. I also dislike the Redneck Comedy Tour for the exact same reason - it may have been sincere at first, but now it makes fun OF a population and some of what is propogated is just plain WRONG and leads to ignorant assumptions made by people who use such "comedy" as a form of education about people they don't know.
  
  As for the AB name...I registered originally for my husband and I. He never uses AB and I began to chat with really interesting people here, so I wanted an identity of my own, but still wanted people to know it was "me". I will eventually just change it to "ThisDaley".

• I do not take redneck as an insult. I assume the person using it is either a redneck themselves, or is jealous of the simplicity of redneck life. No keeping up with the Joneses, no need to have a bigger house or SUV, no need to spend all my waking hours shuffling the kids off to practice, the mall, friends' houses, after school activities, etc. Just simple people, easy to please, and grateful for what life has given them.

• The term "Red Neck" was originally coined by the long-hair hippies and beatnicks to describe the non-hippies who had short hair and thus got sunburned on their necks, hence red necks.

• hahaha i find it ridiculous people get offended by stuff like this. i mean coooome oooooon get over yourself. i am a woman and if i was as petty as you i would be offended anytime someone said "bitch" or "whore" as a joke to one of their friends. which then i would go into a three paragraph complaint about how i am a classy well educated woman and i find the term bitch offensive. uh no. get over yourself please.

• Oh please. I grew up white trash, too. All of my siblings outgrew it and moved on. For my upcoming 40th, I'm throwing myself a white trash bash and it's going to be awesome. It's not stereotyping...it's fact! This is how a LOT of people live. We're celebrating it, not tearing it down. Lighten up, Someguy.

• Ew, but thats where it all started. You know it was a blistery summer day down south, We were all hanging by the craw fish pond when out of nowhere BBJW started walking back into the house. He went down to the moon shine distillery in the basement and started taking mason jars of Uncle Eddies best. I grabbed the pitch fork and made my move. Next thing I know, he's running up the stairs with a fork in the arse. They say I have a bit of a temper, but I seem to disagree. It was nearly the last mason jar left. We wouldn't allow that to happen now would we.....LOL ,that was all spontanious but I think we have a novel here.
