I was told the term redneck came about that time from the migrant farm workers (citizens) whose daily work in the fields created a burned neck. But this is based on colloquial evidence and not an academic study on etymology. It came from a family that used to live in the Ozarks and moved to the Missouri flatlands just before the dustbowl/depression. But then what to rednecks and migrant workers know?
Or somebody in between. The one who required that lenders make risky loans (aka subprime). The one that broke his economic guru’s (Keynes) rules and let the economy run too hot. He set us up for the housing/lending crash like the roaring 20’s set us up for the WS crash in 1929. Obama is acting like FDR by delayed the recovery and desperately looking for a war to help.
No, the term was coined in the 30’s, when a group of miners decided to nconfront the mine owners about conditions in the mines. They all traveled to Blair Mountain in West Va. or Va. and wore red rags around their trhoats to identify themselves to each other.
The term Redneck was first used to describe mine workers a long time ago. Because of the red cloths they would wear over their face and around their necks. It meant back then that you was a hard working person. It has now been turned into something way different.
It will never go away. Blacks are the new Mormons.. they refuse to conform to the American way but unlike the Mormons, they don’t have the decency to start their own state. Instead they want to ruin what this country stands for.
generation of haters? pull that card for a millionth time why dontcha, if you are in the 30 percent that still thinks “Change” is coming your in sad shape, keep your “change”, your gonna need it, unless your another one living off of my taxes, amazing how many peoples utilities in government housing I cut off now-a-days, guess they havent got the “change” they voted for either eh? ha!
Don’t get me wrong,I like Jerry, I laugh at his jokes. He was a funny guy,but I like OUR President too. Remember this is america, where all things are equal, I thought. I guess america has a long way to go. Maybe the new generation will get it right. This generation of haters has to die off first, and maybe the next.
He says he never saw a redneck without a job. I’m sure glad he’s no longer alive to see all the Rednecks that Obama has caused to loose their job. I’m one of them.
wrong, he always did jokes about his dad, he stopped when he died it brought back hard memories. He started again after he made peace with his deceased dad.
Really? Not to sound like a tackler or anything, but can you tell me which show he said that on?
Because I heard this directly from him during his show in Toronto in 2007.
lol thats wrong.. in one stand up, he says he isn’t doing any more “some body getting a hurt real bad” because hes dad recently passed away. clearly u Have not seen russell peters enough.
Canada has two official languages which is English and French. You are better off learning English unless you are going to live in either New Brunswick or Quebec otherwise you are learning French.
Lol, he’s funny.But Canada is bilingual, you are not obliged to know english.If i would hear an indian accent i would pretend i don’t know english just to piss them off cos they sound funny.
