American Redneck Day 2022
 |
Now then, when this term was being leveled at me I was far from actually being a redneck. I acquired the label due to my resemblence to my father and I get the appellation quite honestly I can tell you — but it is purely based on physical appearance and those notions people think they perceive at a very superficial level.
July 3rd finds us in the midst of "American Redneck Day" according to conventional wisdom.
Anymore the redneck thing and it's associated culture has become increasingly popular.
Contrast this with the past when only poor white southerners living in rural areas were called rednecks.
It is said that a synonym for the word 'redneck' is 'hillbilly' but I beg to differ. While I am sure that the two cultures may cohabitate in certain individuals, we in the know realize that they are in fact two separate cultures and sets of customs joined together with a common countrified presentation.
I accept "redneck" in these my latter days for I am far too old to pick any fights unless absolutely necessary and will take on any and all disparagers with enthusiasm and whup up on them as required.
