Are you a Southerner or a redneck?

[gabosaurus]

Please get it straight: Not all Southerners are rednecks. In fact, true Southerners have serious disdain for rednecks for giving us a bad name. There’s a reason why we capitalize “Southerner” but not “redneck”. But still, bless their hearts.*

I am a simple West Virginia raised country boy. Call it what you want.

I refuse to pigeon-hole definitions on people just because that is the liberal

I am an American. Some folks would call me a Granite Yankee, but I am an American .... first, last and always.

Yankee by birth, Southerner by choice.





Certainly not a redneck.

I am an American, father of two Americans, married to an American, with six grand children who are Americans, and I was born in Pennsylvania.

Only the ignorant require that other Americans be called names to that identify the dumb, stupid, and ignorant, in order to make them feel superior as SNOBS always do.

There is obviously a difference between hillbillies and rednecks.

The term redneck came from coal-mining hillbillies.
