Anyway, why do you guys want these lowlife rednecks as part of the union? Wouldn't it be better for them to go off on their own? I posted videos of some of them in the Electoral College which I will try to bump.

It's amusing how some people on this site throw around the word "redneck" and are oblivious to it's true meaning or where the term originated from.
.
The origins of the term redneck actually go back to the 1930's in a number of disputes in West Virginia. A large group of unionized miners marched south to Logan County, to pressure the mine owners there to allow their miners to become unionized. To identify themselves, the miners all wore red bandannas around their necks. The publicity associated with the battles and the subsequent court cases created the term red-necks, and at that time they were viewed as the good guys in the conflict.
Originally, the term came from the later 1800's in southern Georgia and Alabama to refer to sharecroppers who worked in the fields thus getting a sunburned neck. They were called 'rednecks' as a term meant for hard working peopleComment
