[QUOTE="City Guy, post: 1373019, member: 25547"] Hurlkeyjd: I'm glad you asked. As usual this urban hillbilly knows everything!! haha. According to a TV documentary, hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus, the term redneck has a proud and noble beginning. In the 1930's coal miners in West Virginia were trying to unionize. Much of the state had accomplished it but the mine owners at the town of Matawan strongly resisted the union movement and held their workers and the town as virtual slaves. Union miners from around the state decided to march to Matawan and support their comrades. Mine owners hired goons to confront them. Knowing violence was coming, the union guys tied red bandanas around their necks as as type of uniform and show of solidarity. There is an XLNT film about this starring Tom Scarratt as the sheriff of Matawan and James Earl Jones as a miner and union supporter. Highly recommend it. Film is "Matawan" Matawan is pronounced MATE WAN. [/QUOTE]
