What are the traits of a redneck?

[Eilan]

so what your like the authority on rednecks and ignorance? i believe it,cuzz friend, yours is showin.

i'll not argue your point that ALOT of redneck are intolorant towards those groups but not all .i live in West"By God"Virginia and know alot of "rednecks". and some of the are the kindest ,coolest people i have ever met.

they show everybody respect untill they are given a reason not to respect said people,regardless of race,religion or sexuallity.

and not every bigot is a "redneck" i know a lot of people who freely use words like "nigger","faggot" and other equally ignorant words,and they come from California New York,Mass. and other "civilized" areas of our great country.

the point is you are no diffirent than the stereo typical "redneck"judging based on apperance and stereotypes rather than interactions.

Don't assume that all of us who are poking fun at rednecks are clueless white-bread suburbanites guilty of stereotyping. I live in Appalachia (and was married in WV); therefore, I'm NOT acting out of ignorance. Like EJFan, I see stuff like this every day.

While we might occasionally take the joking/comments to extremes here on Lit, most of what we're saying is spot-on. If you don't like it, then I suggest putting the redneck-bashing parties on your ignore list. It will surely make your Lit experience much more positive.

EJfan your beliefs confound me,but hey to each their own right ?we'll just have to agree to disagree on some these points.

i'm sorry i took such defensive stance on this,i hope that it will not effect any further interactions that we may have on the boards.

Eilan,if you don't mind my asking where in this great state were you married?

Eilan,if you don't mind my asking where in this great state were you married?

In a now-defunct wedding chapel near Huntington. I grew up in a small town along the Ohio River, in the part of Ohio that's considered Appalachia.

I've never been to Elkins. But I think Lewisburg would be a nice place to live.

My favorite is from Jeff Foxworthy. "If you work with your shirt off, and so does your husband, you might be a redneck..."

That's funny!

I just hope I don't turn into a redneck. I'm replacing most of the rusted rocker panels on my 93 explorer. It would cost way more than the truck is worth to have it done at a body shop, but I've owned it for a long time, it runs great and the rest of the body is in good condition. I'm not ready to let it go and it makes a great extra vehicle. I'd just like to get another year or 2 out of it if I can.

I hope I can get it looking good enough that it doesn't look like a redneck-mobile.

I say keep us posted with pictures - someone will tell you if it is a redneck-mobile - and to boot they can post in "what made you laugh your ass off today..."

As long as your new running boards are made primarily of metal, show no plastic filler, are actually painted to match or complement the rest of the vehicle, and do not involve the use of chicken fencing or baling wire, I'm sure your truck will look like it belongs nort of redneckland.

Per Sassy_girl's request...................

So, no red or grey primer showing, I believe it does not qualify for the redneck look.

Note: Yes, I put the doors back on.

Glad to hear you put the doors back on Scaly - otherwise then yes it WOULD be considered a redneck vehicle!

Per Sassy_girl's request, here is a picture of my explorer after I repaired the passenger side rocker panel. I replaced about 90% of what you see below the rubber door seals. The part right in front of the real wheel I shaped from a flat piece of sheet metal. The dark metalic green color along the bottom matcheds the original color; the parts above that are not dark are caked with dust. I spent about 45 hours repairing this side.

So, no red or grey primer showing, I believe it does not qualify for the redneck look.

Doood, you put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Nice work, Scaly. You must have the patience of Job to do your own body work. That's far beyond my powers.

Now that's what I need--body work.

Thanks.

Plus I picked up some new power tools along the way.

Then all your hard work was worth it!

You might be a redneck if...

Your step-dad is also your second-cousin

Your husband is related to you down the line through old Vernan.

You paint your house to match your truck.

You plow up your front lawn for the sole purpose of jumping the old junkers from the back yard over.

You volunteer to go up to the town bridge in the middle of winter, strip naked, and jump off to get two fake chandeliers out of the apartments your buddy's gutting... and actually do it.

Note: These actually apply to me or people I know....
