You can identify a fake redneck by their passionate support of “blue lives matter.” Real rednecks have been in at least one physical fight and/or high-speed chase with police officers and would do it again

“redneck” is a valid culture, not a euphemism for “bigot”

So this has probably already been said on this post but I dont wanna scroll through 66k notes to find it.

The term Redneck gain prominence with striking coal miners in Appalachia. They wore red bandanas around their necks to express union solidarity.

And they fucking FOUGHT police and Pinkerton strike breaker forces. It was a period called The Coal Wars.

The poor and working classes have a long history of community support and rejecting police authority.

If you’re pro-cop, you’re not a redneck, you’re a bootlicker who based your personality on a played out Jeff Foxworthy caricature. Get bent. Your ancestors are ashamed of you.

When it came to huge, gaudy tiaras, nobody could beat the Russians. Unfortunately, like the royals who wore them, very few tiaras survived the 1918 revolution. Most were dismantled by the Bolsheviks, but a few were kept as examples of royal excess. 

One of the few to survive was the Russian Nuptial Tiara. It was made about 1800 for Maria Feodorovna or Elizabeth Alexeyevna. It centers around an enormous 13.3 carat pink diamond, and is estimated to have over 1,000 carats in total. It was a part of an entire parure worn by Romanov brides, with some pieces going back to Catherine I.
