Blair mountain, I’m specifically referring to Appalachian and Ozark Scots-Irish descended folks. The term Redneck got a wee bit bastardized during the 20th century, mostly due to being slapped onto every poor rural American sub culture when before it’s glorification post WW2 most poor WASPs would’ve shanked you for the implication.
Also the reason I’m making this exception is because the very first Rednecks were an early labor movement back in Scotland, their descendants in the early to mid 1800s started to adopt the aesthetics and terminology.
I hope it is obvious when we mean rednecks we do not mean Blair mountain labour rights fighters, but the white racist trump rural base. Those were based, I did not know that that term once referred to people in Scotland.
Yeah just get annoyed when my kin get associated with white trash, I’m from California and my ancestors left around when the first Rednecks were getting going way back in the 1840s and we usually worked with the Western variant those that got the name from sunburnt necks. Just wish we had a better term that didn’t denigrate a historically respectable and proud culture that happens to be in a slump.
