Dayton,

Loved your story...here's mine. About 10 years ago 5 of my deer hunting, football watchin buddies and me decided to do somehting a little different than the usual singin Friends in Low Places kareoke followed by $5 cokes at the "Cherry Patch" and all we could see.

If you know Dayton, (Ohio) you know Salem Ave where a handbill stapled to a telephone pole advertised a "Rump Shaker dance". We decided to check it out. First sign that we were out of our "cultural element" was we were patted and frisked as we paid our $1 cover. (Funny, some bars we went to we would show firearms as ID). Anyway, rap music was blasting (yep even 10 years ago) still we went in and ordered beers. As we waited for eternity for our beers we observed the hand bill was right...a whole lotta rump shakin was goin on. One of the guys decided to dance (by himself)and apparently offended the bouncer somehow. Still no beers when it was suggested by the bouncer we might want to seek our evening's entertainment elsewhere. One of us (the dancer) wanted to raise a stink....cooler heads prevailed and we told the bouncer we would leave only if we were served our beers. He did, we drank a toast to Woolworth's and hit the Cherry Patch anyway.

Cheers, Skip

 

but i gotta
spent several years in good ol dixie south carolina/ georgia
and red necks are horrible for the most part not inclusive

sorry but do you think god is gonna let you in thinkin like that.
a good person is good and a bad person is bad(for now may come around probally not)

you lost get that CSA flag down from the state house this is what happen when you lose a war flying it on your house car or on your property is a good thing

I AM A HILLBILLY just don't call me a redneck. i love runnin in the woods on foot or in my truck this is home 4 me

had to get it off my chest

had a great idea wanted to epoxy the CSA flag to I-77 and drive the IQ up everytime someone stops to pry it up

the last is uncalled 4 and I appozigize but still

 

Did you guy's know that the term "REDNECK" is a compliment?
Do you know where the term came from?
In it's originality the term "REDNECK" meant that you were a hard worker, usually working in the field's, which meant your neck would get sun burned. Hell I'm proud it be a "REDNECK"

 

I love living in Texas every third radio station is country the others are a mix of tejano, oldies, rap, rock, and hip hop. For my senior prom I'm pretty sure we line danced from nine o' clock on.

 

hmm, im glad im not a redneck.

 

i know what its like at those clubs. and even worse, its like that at alot of the country places. there is a place in springfeild missouri called cowboys 2000 where they have indoor rodeos. thats pretty cool but they also play that rap and other crap after a couple riders fer a while. not a country place in my opinion. oh well, at least i know where i got my roots.

 

Yea i got a story..

Me and two friends of mine went to eat lunch while working...We just got out from the fields and i had mud boots over my jeans,my friend had a John Deere Straw hat on and my other friend had some overalls on with a John Deere cap on...So we go into Burger King just to get some fast food and there are some white kids with the baggy jeans and the big shirts and the ear rings and whatever else looking at us like we was some crasy folks....so we sat down and they kept laughing at us so my friend asked them if they were...you know whats...and of course they got pissed and mocked us....and of course we laughed,and they got up and left in their car with those big hudcaps.....and when we was done we got in my F-150 thats so pretty..lol
needless to say i have had alot of run-ins with kids who act like the city kid as u say....but i know i am myself and not trying to act like something i ain't..
i also dislike the rap music..give me some late 60's and early 70's country and classic rock and i can listen for weeks

 

I have to agree with most of you. the "rednecks" are great people. When i have troble with my baby bronc, a guy at my fire depart. helps me everytime(he owns a shop). Another funny thing is i was litening to days of a new- face of the earth and i ended pulling up next to a ricer, the guy heard my music the crancked his....i couldnt help but laughing. Then another day a ricer pulled up to me and reved his 1.4l 4banger, he kept up with me till about 3000rpm then i wen WOT, man he had an evil stare when i hit 5500rpm(of course i slowed after too pretty much the speedlimit....i was going 40 in a 30) he then blow by and he didnt see a cop sitting in a speed trap, once the cop pulled out i pulled off onto a side street(i know my area like the back of my hand) the cop scared the daylights outa me.(even though i knew there was a speed trap there) but here in nowheresville Va, everyone in highschhol eithre drives a ricer or a redneck truck(or jeep) or thier daddies car. sry bout making a wordy post.
*if i have offended anyone, i'm sorry

Here's one of the smarter redneck tricks I pulled.

Once in college I was fairly wasted at someone's keg party and for whatever reason I got into a pretty bad fistfight with a Japanese kid over a bag of Doritos. The police came and I don't really recall many more details. We both ended up at the emergency room. I had a broken nose, he had to get stitches in his lower lip. Still have teeth scars on my knuckles...and that was about 13 yrs ago!

 

what do rednecks say before they get hurt, "hey ya'll watch this"

i am a redneck myself,
there are alot of us in
ohio

 

I'm prob goin to get alot of BS from people saying this but, hear i go.


Now in my school in green bay Wisconsin we had, gangs,spics, asians, preps, jocks and hicks.

Yes i did hang out with the hicks but did i call myself one? nope. I may have done the same stuff they did or listen to the same music, i'm not a farmer or a southern boy so why call myself a hick? Yea people say i am, But i'm from upper MI i'm a yooper , 95 % guys i run into dress like rednecks are city boys wana be. Now i knew a couple of guys had there daddy by them a mid 90s chevy or dodge truck that was jacked up and these 2 guys listen to rap and they dress like a preps and talked to some wana be rednecks (and don't even know how to fix there truck)


At this pool hall i hang out we get to pick the music you want to listen to and so far i haven seen any start a fight over rap and country.

I just think its funny when you see a guy dress up like a redneck but they live 2 miles from school and they don't even hunt or fish

 

Nobody mentioned a word about the rebel flag.

And you need to show God respect by capitalizing His name. A true Redneck shows respect for the Lord.

And you need an education. The flag that misinformed or uneducated people associate with racism is not the true Confederate Flag. A true Southerner has respect for all people.

That is the 3rd National Battle Flag and it was used to distinguish the Feds from the Confederates. You need to learn that the 1st National flag of the CSA looks nothing like the flag you think it is.

The reason we fly the flag is to show our pride to our ancestors and our way of life, which would cover our respect and love for God, respect of ladies, respect for other people (even if we don't agree with their lifestyle), love of cars, trucks, fishin, huntin, and whatever else we've been brought up on.

I do not like to see a person put someone else down because of their opinions on something they know next to nothing about. Sorry for the long post, but I had to straighten this out.

One more thing, the worst misconception about rednecks, is people think rednecks are dumb ol' backwoods country folk. We AIN'T dumb, and we won't stand to be put down by someone who's probably never been below the Mason/Dixon line!!!

Again, I apologize for the long post.

 

Well said, MW95 (for the most part). The civil war had VERY little to do with slavery, it was more about the northerners taking control in washington and making laws that strangled the southern way of life, and the south saw that they were gonna be hit hard, so they done the same thing the colonies did, and revolted. As I remember from history class, the south didnt lose by much, but had half the people. So when most true* rednecks (more on the * later) fly the "Confederate Flag", it would be the same as anyone else flying the betsy ross flag.
About the "true" rednecks- at my school, there were a few that were born and raised on a farm, and worked from dawn to dusk, and accepted that as a way of life. Good, simple people who worked hard and got stuff done. Then we had the "cowboy wanna bes. They would have the late 80s jacked up chebbie, shovel manure at a horse stable after school and think they were NBR champiions. They would come to school talking about "I broke this horse", and "We had to shoe these horses", but in reality, all they done was relocated feces. I really dislike anyone who tries to be something they are not, all for "coolness" sake.
I listen to my punk rock because I like it, not to fit in with these people or to get those people to like me. I think this happens in all kinds of lifestyles, whether it be the hard rockers(ie slipknot/disturbed), punk rockers, rednecks, rappers, ricers, drinkers, smokers, and on and on and on. Just be yourself, and don't worry about what everyone else thinks, and you might be suprised how much smoother things go, and how many more people like you.

 

Hank said it best, "A country boy can survive". nuf said.

I've never called myself a redneck but I have been accused of it many of times. I was born and raised in a city of about 250,000 people. But I spent most my time out in the boonies. I was never in the "in" crowd at school. tshirt and jeans and work work boots weren't cool. Wore the same kind of stuff everyday. Never had to worry about what was in style. But when the cool people were stuck in the winter who did they call with a real truck? Me. Sad part is I can do anything they can and more. I can hunt, fish, fix, work ect.

A class I was in sponsored a school dance once. So somehow I had to DJ the darn thing. Needless to say I wasn't asked to do it again. Also I was stopped midsong by the principal when I put in a David Allen Coe CD.

I'll agree that counrty boys tend to stick together if they can. Problem is is that most of my high school buddies are spread throughout the state working. But we keep in touch and meet up when we can.

Got to run, time to go fishing.

 

Yeah, I don't like to be around many of them horse folks. Most of them around here are preps who just put on the clothes to look like a rider and they BUY those championship buckles. Don't get me wrong, I like a good rodeo, but these pretenders are not that much fun to be around. You got it right, all they do is go clean stables and occasionally saddle up to ride in a circle. I am not real crazy over horses myself, since my family is into beef cattle. Horses have no "resale" as they get older (anything over 6yrs. old) they lose value faster'n anything I've ever seen. At least with beef, their value grows or at least stabilizes as they get older, and when it comes time to sell, they, in most cases, will pay off.
