  Amazon.com: The Redneck Manifesto: Books: Jim Goad
That words like ``redneck'' and ``white trash'' are deemed acceptable while the ``N-word'' is not is proof that as Americans, by and large, we have been duped by rich folks into playing the race card.
The author is at his best when using humor to elucidate a point, as when he argues that both fl slaves and some disenfranchised whites were cheated and lied to by society in the same manner.
While Goad's defense (and overview) of redneck culture past and present is sure to infuriate the liberal reader, he is also likely to make that same reader laugh ruefully, and often.

  CLUAS | Gig Reviews | Redneck Manifesto live in Dublin (June 2006)
In fact, and to their credit, The Redneck Manifesto are one of the very few Irish bands who can draw large crowds nationwide, a telling testament to their widespread, cult-like status.
There was a definite edge of expectation in the air, aided and fuelled by possibly the grooviest between set tunes I've heard in a long time, and when the lights went down, and the Rednecks took the stage, people surged.
If that happens these ambitious Rednecks could be something truly amazing, as it is they are still definitely worth seeing.

 The Redneck Manifesto: How Hillbillies, Hicks, and White Trash Became America's Scapegoats
He explains the virtually ignored topic of white slavery, the development of the word "redneck", and the utter contempt and bias the modern mainstream media has towards those unfortunate enough to be labeled as such.
A joy, a pleasure, a belly laugh, a bacchanal, a celebration, a hootenanny, a liberation, a nouvelle monde, a birth, a breakthrough, a backslap, a war whoop, a whimsy, a watershed, a wonder, a discovery, a delight, a treasure, a classic.
Jim Goad's The REDNECK MANIFESTO: HOW HILLBILLIES HICKS AND WHITE TRASH BECAME AMERICAS SCAPEGOATS is as American as white lightening and as welcome as liberty and as classic as Menken's "The American Language." A significant and delightful contribution to American prose.

That rednecks have been made society's scapegoats for problems they didn't cause and can't control.
That, in fact, poor white people and poor fl people have a common history of involuntary transport and slavery (it was called indentured servitude if you were white), and a common cause against the real enemy: the privileged class that owns the companies, runs the government and writes the history books.

 CLUAS | Interviews | The Redneck Manifesto
March 2003: With the Summer 2002 release of their second LP, 'Cut Your Heart Off From Your Head', The Redneck Manifesto have confirmed themselves as one of Ireland's most original, exciting, and indeed goddamn brilliant bands.
The fact that 'Cut your heart off...' was released less than a year after their equally mesmerising debut, 'Thirty-Six Strings', is further verification that they are one of the most talent outfits around.
I read somewhere that the Redneck Manifesto felt that "Cut Your Heart off From Your Head" was sort of a companion piece to "Thirty-Six Strings".

The Redneck Manifesto is comprised of five guys and what sounds like about ten thousand guitars in complexity, making a racket not far from the Ahleuchatistas and Pattern Is Movement movement that's picking up so much good press.
The skills of the players are important here, as much of this music's success lies in the technical ability behind it all, but a certain melodic attention is paid duly.
Fun Fact: "The Redneck Manifesto" is also the name of a book by Jim Goad which argues that issues of sexism and racism stem from a greater class conflict at the bottom of it all.

 Review: The Redneck Manifesto   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This book is a brilliantly-written defense of the working-class white male, who has been disparaged in American culture with terms like "redneck", "cracker", and "honky", and caricatured as being a "rifle-totin', booger-eatin', beer-bellied swine flesh, [s]keeter-bitten, ball-tuggin', homo-hatin', pig-f**kin', daughter-gropin' slug".
He argues that class, not race, is the principal force of "oppression" in America, and that lower-class whites, who are descendants of original indentured servants, have never been in a position to oppress anyone, and in fact have historically been treated far worse than fl slaves.
The real villains, according to Goad, are not 'rednecks' but the Federal Government, Liberals, the Media, and the European upper class and their descendants, who used a policy of divide-and-conquer to create antagonism between lower-class whites and fls in order to maintain the class structure in America.

The third album from The Redneck Manifesto sees the five-piece deliver their most focused work to date with this accomplished collection of guitar-driven instrumentals.
The punchy tempo of 'Bring Your Own Blood', in particular, constantly coaxes the less disciplined instruments onwards, the bass and drums guarding against any signs of complacency.
Although it is certainly ambitious, the music of The Redneck Manifesto is created well within sight of the beaten path, demonstrating that quality and accessible music need not be made within the rigid song structures so familiar to most.
