RE: [Sndbox] Here's a debate

"Redneck dates to 1830, when it was first used to denote the Presbyterians of Fayetteville. The significance of the name is somewhat obscure. Three explanations are commonly offered. First, it could be a reference to a ruddy neck caused by anger. Second, it could be a reference to sunburned necks caused by working in the fields all day. Finally, it could be a reference to pellagra which turns the neck red.   There is also a tale in which it referred to striking coal miners tale who wore red bandannas a means of group identification. This is unlikely due to what we know of its origin. The sunburn or pellagra explanation seems more likely than the anger one."   Charles Mims http://www.the-sandbox.org   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Harder Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 10:24 PM To: The Sandbox Discussion List Subject: Re: [Sndbox] Here's a debate   IMO.... A redneck can still have family and moral values.... A redneck is proud of being a redneck.... white trash are trying to figure out how to score some more crank etc. On Tuesday, September 23, 2003, at 09:13 PM, Angela wrote: Might wind up being a touchy subject, but it's something hubby and I discuss all the time.
