I wonder how long before "Hillbilly" gets the axe ?

Right after the N word falls out of parlance.

I've had several people try to insult me by calling me hillbilly and/or redneck.  Attempted insult failure.  

I had a woman from England thought it was so cool to be dating a Hillbilly.

I like to be referred to as a Native Missourian.  I was born and raised here.  Family came from Tennessee and I enjoy spending time there too exploring my heritage.

I have no desire to see where they came from before.  USA is the place to be.

I have been called many things while one hurricane recoveries, often repeatedly, one crew of all black guys from Atlanta delighted in calling me various things (my favorite was "redneck MFer")  but never in all mean way, more like how they would call each other a specific slur.  None of it ever bothered me a bit.  If you know me you are pretty much free to call me whatevwr you want, if you don't know me I couldn't care less what you call me.

All of this is BS and pandering to the participation award generation. No hurt feelings. I guess the saying sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me has be rejected😒.

Funny I was raised in the Ozarks moved North worked as a Union Baker. Was there long enough to be known and was like them. Moved back to the Ozarks, been here several years. First thing I was told was I would be fine here because I already knew the rules. Never call the Law and always Pack.

Was having trouble with a neighbor from St. Louis. I was told by an other neighbor they have their City ways and I have my Hillbilly ways, so we are going to clash.

Funny I go to the North East I'm considered Southern. I go to the South I'm   considered a Yankee.
