You know all. Where did the term Redneck come from?
I'll play. From the unionizing coal miners and their red bandanas.
Mark E. Williams


No, the term probably is religious in nature, and from another
country.
In
this country, it used to refer to members of the rural white workers
of the southern states.

Nope, Mark is correct. Hary, you are not very versed in mine union
history.


Mark isn't even close.... and I have no idea from whence that nonsense
issued....

the wiki reference is about spot on.....

Ok.... who, pray tell, is the author of your cite? Who *is* Patrick
Huber? Is he *SO* incredibly versed that we should accept his word as
gospel... with no question? Did you notice he has *NO* citations for
his claims? Who published hi work... in fact, was it published at
all??? He might as well have said that the term was decreed by aliens.
Matter of fact, while you are at it..... why not let us all know who
and what bnet.com is...... (research center? Riiiiiiiggghhhtt..)

Wikipedia, on the other hand, offers no less than 29 citations to
support it's claims. Tell you what. Check out those 29 sources and
let me know what about Huber refutes that information.....
