Is there any movement in 2025 in the US to get the term redneck given the same racist status as the "n" word?

@RisingMorningStar7 Those that use it as an insult have no idea where the term even came from.

Then again many who embrace the label have no idea either.

@RisingMorningStar7 Not even close to correct.

See my reply on this post.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The term "redneck" originated as a derogatory label for poor, rural white laborers in the American South, whose necks would be sunburnt (red) from long hours of outdoor work in the fields. It was a visual marker of their lower social and economic class compared to wealthier individuals who worked indoors.
Historical Origins and Usage
The word's use and meaning have evolved over time with several possible origins:
Sunburn from field work: The most widely accepted explanation is literal. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, upper-class whites and city dwellers used the term to mock lower-class white farmers and manual laborers who developed sunburned necks from working in the sun without head coverings or adequate protection.
Labor union symbol: Another significant historical origin traces the term to the West Virginia Mine Wars of the early 1920s. Striking coal miners wore red bandanas around their necks as a symbol of solidarity and resistance against mine owners, proudly calling themselves "rednecks".
Scottish Covenanters: Some theories suggest a much earlier origin in 17th-century Scotland, where Presbyterian rebels signed covenants in blood and wore red cloths around their necks to signify their allegiance to the Church of Scotland and rebellion against the King of England. These Covenanters were later ridiculed by the English as "rednecks".

@RisingMorningStar7 It was about solidarity with radical socialist unions and labor workers the same reason the Soviet flag was red.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The version of redneck was working like a slave basically.

@RisingMorningStar7 Americans are not taught labour struggle history on purpose.

@RisingMorningStar7 Again you are just wrong.

@RisingMorningStar7 The version you claim was popularized so Americans forgot their history and stay in their place and don't fight back to improve their lot.
