Are you a redneck?
Answer:
Am I a redneck? Depends on who is doing the assessing! I grew up in a trailer in south Georgia. My parents worked very hard to provide for me and my brother. They scraped together enough to send us to college. He and I are both respected professionals as adults. But our roots remain the same.and deep at heart, I'm still a good ole southern girl many years later--although I earn a great income, live in a gated community and have all the accouterments of the upper middle class.
I am who I am. I can mix in both crowds .
Who needs labels anyway?
And PS, the term redneck originated as a reference to hardworking, manual laboring folk who got sunburned as they earned their living. Nothing to be ashamed of there!!!
no... the label doesn't bother me as I am not one.
Huh?
I'm not a redneck because I'm not even an American but I think it's funny that they all support Bu$h.
Don't give a damn what you call me. I still get in my A/C and fly where I want. I still eat at finest of places. I still vote Conservative and carry concealed.
Best of life. What about you?
A redneck is as a redneck does. Listen to Jeff Foxworthy and he'll tell you what a redneck is.
A racist term used funnily enough by people who complain that people are racist to them!!
Use a term of abuse and you will get it back at you!!
Certainly no way to promote racial harmony!
Yep. Doesn't bother me. As for the one that said we all support that moron Bush - WRONG!
NO, BUT I REALLY HATE MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS, I THINK THEY ALL SHOULD GO BACK HOME!
Redneck is just as racist as n*, or jew or whatever. It stereotypes a certain race, it portrays them as dumb, it demeans and degrades. Why dont you post a question are you a N*? Why is it okay to be racist against whites, bu t not any other race?
No, but my neck was a little red a couple of weeks ago from being out in the sun.
no, im not a redneck
no ,born and raised in neworleans mearoux challmete owls
There are worse things to be than a redneck.
Well, I guess I am one, I work hard for my kids, I don't live on welfare, I don't get any Government help. wouldn't want it if I had no other choice, I am proud to be Texan, I pay all my bills, I don't have kids running every where by different mothers. I don't blame society if I don't get my way, I don't use a gun to settle fights, but if you were to call blacks, Mexicans, or anyone else of another ethnic creed something, you would be thrown to the bottom of the jail, called a racist, but yet idiots like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton run their mouth, but they get nothing. Why is that?
Yes I am... the reason is I was born one.
No.
1 - Yes.
2 - Been out gardening.
3 - I FEEL good, I KNEW that I would... :-))
Originally redneck was a negative word.. but like most words such as redneck, cracker, or all the other words that were originally negative don't really bother white Americans... if anything they embrace them... they can take a negative connotation and turn it around to mean something good.. we just don't care... words just don't bother us that much- now a days people embrace the word redneck and make it into something good .. and proudly proclaim themselves as a redneck.. though we don't embrace the word cracker, the word doesn't really phase us... they're just words
Red neck refers to someone who works long hours out in the sun and develops a 'red neck'.
If you have a problem with people you call 'red necks' what does that say about you?
The term "Redneck" has been twisted from it's original meaning. Jeff Foxworthy doesn't know what a real redneck is, he just makes things up to be funny. A real Redneck is a hard working (as a farmer/rancher/cowboy working outside getting sunburn on his neck & arms; hence the term Redneck), consertive, patriotic AMERICAN. I'd be proud to be an "original" Redneck.
The Foxworthy jokes can be applied to anyone (wet-backs, polocks, etc) and most of them aren't funny. Rednecks aren't in-bred, illeterate, KKK southerners, just like most of the Blacks aren't the illiterate, lazy, welfare bums some popular black comedians made them out to be. Some comedians also depicts Latinos as gangbangers, dopers, and car theives. Not true and not very funny.
No, can't say that I am..
Yes I am. By that I mean family oriented, hard working, loyal, not high maintenence, no need to impress people with things that don't matter, will defend myself and those I love (or even strangers), help people when I can, etc. And I'm from the southern US, although I don't consider that to be a requirement. How do I feel about the label? Just fine, until someone says that all rednecks are racist. That's silly and untrue.
You know i have know idea honestly why they call people rednecks... I think that it is pretty rude but it wouldn't be this country if someone didn't have something rude to say... i tend to ignore any racial remarks and so on.
Some people call themselves rednecks proudly.
It means something different to each person.
No I am not a redneck...I feel it does get used as a racist term.But some "rednecks" wear this label with pride, so I am not sure it is always considered racist, since many embrace this label.
Yes I am a redneck and proud of it. To me a redneck is someone who can handle being in the woods and not be afraid of the lions and coyotes and bears since he, or she, has a pistol in case some critter gets stupid. I'm also proud to be a NASCAR fan. Go 99 !! Rednecks are not sissies like most city snobs who are afraid of the dark,and are a lot more fun to hang out with. If something bad happens and a redneck is around the redneck will help solve the problem instead of running and crying about it like people who degrade rednecks tend to do.
I like being called a redneck and when people use the term in a derogatory manner I get a good laugh because the person insulting me is usually and ignorant fool and a wimp.
Once a man who insulted me by calling me a redneck saw a wasp in the room. He was so afraid of the wasp he backed up into a corner and watched while the wasp landed on the wall across from him. If he was allergic to bee stings I would have understood, but he was not and was just scared of the little wasp. I swatted the wasp with my hand and stepped on it. He thanked me, and never used the term redneck in a derogatory manner in my presence again.
Y'all be sure to watch the race tonight, and thank all the NASCAR rednecks for the safety and engineering advances invented by rednecks that make your cars safer.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that I have deer meat in my freezer from deer I shot on my land, trout in the freezer that I caught in local creeks, eggs in the refrigerator from the chickens I have, and a garden down the hill from the chicken coop that gets fertilizede every time it rains. This redneck recycles biodegradeable chicken crap in the God intended and I have the plants in the garden to prove it.
Then there's the lion trap next to the fence around my chicken coop. I'm trying to catch a mountain lion alive to prove to the non-rednecks that they are here. I saw one half a mile from where I'm sitting.
Not many people have a neck redder than mine, but only a fool thinks that makes me uneducated. Maybe sometime we can talk about chemistry. Can't make good moonshine without knowing a little about boiling points, condensation temperatures, and how yeast metabolizes sugars into alcohol...
Yep, I'm a redneck. God bless y'all for asking...
If wanting our laws enforced, if wanting illegal aliens deported makes me a redneck, then yes, I guess I am.
