Greg Reese used to have a Confederate on his car. This year he replaced it with a bumper sticker bearing a new, inclusive Southern pride flag, and the words 'Rednecks for Black Lives.' He tells hereandnow how he changed his views, and those of others.
The term “redneck” originated from a major labor uprising in 1921, she writes. Multiracial coal miners in Appalachia wore red bandanas to indicate they were in favor of unionizing.
Howard, who grew up in a poor, working-class mining family in rural Kentucky, says she was often angry at living a life where “poor people are sacrificed for a few to be rich.” She says society taught poor white people to divert blame onto people of color for their struggles instead of the real culprits — money-hungry billionaires, politicians and big businesses.
“We need to educate people and teach the people that I know and the people that they know that will join my group, Rednecks for Black Lives on Facebook. I'm trying to teach them all these little things that honestly, yeah, we probably should have known a lot of this stuff. There's a lot of people saying, like all lives matter and all this stuff and they don't understand what they're saying. They don't understand that the issue is not really even black and white.
