It 's a safe bet that no southerner will be called a "red neck"

no matter what his color is.
Leftists apply that term to anti-Roosevelt, anti-Kennedy pro-freedom citizens.
I do try not to, but he had, as I remember, a scalding take on those who derided rednecks, workers who naturally obtained red and (my words, later leathered necks). But on research there seem to be other posts, and I'm not chasing them.
