:mad::mad: Just because you have a big 4x4 truck people think your a dumb redneck. I take offense to this. Dumb people couldn't build something like that. If I see someone with 24's on there car or a low rider I don't think there are a pimp or drug dealer. What gives? We need to change this.
 
Nah.. they have stickers to denounce that.. They are straight forward and either say "Redneck" or "Aint Skeered," those are the distinguishing factors to identify a redneck.

But in all seriousness, I get it too. Guess its an old sterotypical deal which will tarnish us forever.

And when I see these old school cars lifted up with 24's and decals such as M&M's, Skittles, and McDonalds (I dont know why they are putting these decals on) but i ALWAYS assume drug dealer/gangster or gangster wanna be. Guess to each his own.....
 
We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of. I hope I am one of those. You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'
You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'
You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays.
You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.
You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have.
You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to.
You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and raised your kids to do the same.
You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

Being a Redneck may not be a bad thing.:rolleyes:
 
Anyone who goes out of their way to prove themselves as nothing but ignorant to you are not worth the time.
 
Jay like your sig. Grew up hearing my dad say it. He was Airborne. Many tours in Nam.
 
Nothing wrong with that.:bronco:

There's all sorts of words people confuse on a regular basis....

Redneck, Hillybilly, White Trash, etc, etc....


I claim the redneck lifestyle, nothing wrong with it. Just us plain ol' country folks.

I am NOT, however, a hillbilly. I don't have an "uncle dad".

Nor am I white trash....they're easy to spot, they draw plenty of attention to themselves. Just watch Jerry Springer, Cops, or listen to Dumb Crook news on John Boy & Billy.
 
If the economy keeps heading the way it is it's going to be a point of who can survive, live without and make do with what they've got. Rednecks are the best at that. We can kill our own food, fix our homes and vehicles and tough it out like no other group of people. Rednecks can take care of themselves. All the ignorant, narrow minded people are going to have to hate it when sh!t hits the fan and they have no clue what to do because they've never had to live the simple life. If it really hits the fan, my family has over 200 acres in the middle of nowhere in the mountains of WV. No power, no running water, noone for miles and miles. That's where I'll be. I'd build a shack/cabin up there and just wait it out. Y'all are welcome anytime.
 
Fact is, stereotypes exist, you have to deal with it in one way or other. And, unfortunately, they do exist for a reason.

Aside from the lifted truck with mud on the INSIDE of the windshield (I left some from URE just to remind me of home!), I also have long hair and scraggly beard, and due to some really unusual ocular defects I have pretty squinty eyes AND nystagmus, so I look like I'm stoned all teh time. I get "the look" all the time.
And you know what, I kind of like it.
Let people assume I'm stupid or inbred, that gives me the advatntage.
Once I open my mouth, they learn otherwise pretty quickly...
 
people are gonna think what they think no matter what just let them be narrow minded unless they give ya trouble then....
ex. a few friends and I were traveling to a local 4x4 spot and went through a police check point and it was me in my cj5 and two friends one in a tj and one cj7 my friend in the tj happens to be african (acts like a hick though lol) but i was waved on through so was my other friend but they stopped his and searched his jeep and he was the only one with out a top they said it smelled of a substance lol and he has Bad asthma and cant be around cigarette smoke lol the point is alot of people are like this but to each there own :beer::beer:

I have always been classified as a redneck to everyone but I was raised to respect other people for who they are no matter how much money they have or what they have.I guess if thats a redneck ill take it.

The term redneck refers to a white man who couldnt afford to own slaves and therefore had to work the land himself. Now we just call it a farmers tan. I know the economys kinda bad now but i think most of us could still afford...nevermind
 
i mean i hate stereo types people think that rednecks are white trash i mean im a redneck but i aint no white trash and i wouldnt move to a city if they paid me enough.
i mean i respect and person thats older then me with yes sir or ma'am..
i dont see a problem with that..
