"You might be a redneck if you did not even realize you were a redneck until you were about 30-years-old." That quote describes me.
I still believe that the most discriminated against and under-represented people in America are rural, middle/working-class white folks. Not that I am wanting or expecting special treatment, nor am I being biggoted against any other group. I am just speaking from experience.
Finally, a fellow redneck has stepped up:
American Redneck Society Formed To Advocate For Rural AmericansTo visit the American Redneck Society website where you can sign up for membership, copy and paste this: http://www.americanrednecksociety.com/
You might be a redneck if…you create a dues-paying society and a scholarship fund?
And that's what a Virginia man did last week, launching the “American Redneck Society.”
“I really felt that American Rednecks are an under-served, but large population that could benefit from a formal membership organization structure,” said American Redneck Society Executive Director Rob Clayton.
A $20 membership fee will get you access to retail discounts across the country, and a portion of the funds are set aside for an educational fund for “rural youth.”
"What does it mean to be a Redneck?" the group’s website asks.
Well, with apologies to comedian Jeff Foxworthy, apparently, you might be a redneck if…
You’re a fan of Nascar.
You’re a gun owner.
You like country music.
You can fix just about anything with duct tape.
You think “duct” tape should actually be “duck” tape.
Yee-haw!
