Even the definition of redneck has changed. The Rednecks from the 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain are long gone. That morphed into the jock kids in my first year of high school in NC who fought me just cause I was a skate punk from VB. The ones that would try to run you over as you skated in downtown. Those were the modern rednecks, flying the confederate flag off their trucks and boats. The ones who vote for trump. That's what the modern redneck is now and not to be confused with a southern man or woman. Some of us took that seriously, the challenge to be a southern man or woman. That change was going to come at last. That we would change. Not a redneck.
