There was a book written about 20 years ago by Michael Graham, a conservative commentator, “Redneck Nation: How the South Really Won the War”. He makes the claim that “redneck” traits are found nationwide, amongst people of all races.
That’s probably true, but what is also true is that they seem particularly concentrated in places like Manassas, Virginia. (You may know of Manassas as the place where the John Bobbitt incident happened..)
Interestingly, for a book written by Michael Graham, it got almost no attention on Freerepublic (which was around when the book was written).
Something recently about rural southern blacks and Deep South county folk sharing so much common culture
From emulating gentry to manners and God fearing
It’s true
My middle TN wife goes to deer camp on bayou Pierre near port Gibson with me in Deep South Mississippi old plantation country ....near Windsor ruins
Her first comment....black people are so nice down here....
