I Discovered The Most Redneck Place In Tennessee

I'm a native Tennessean, and as you can see in the vid, we keep our rich folk behind the gates.... the rest of us feel safer that way. ;)

Nick, be respectful - especially when you are an outsider. Calling people names or trying to sound funny does not portray you in a good light. I am not originally from Appalachia …. I moved here to be close to my new granddaughter. I have come to appreciate people here for their gentle ways and their warmth. They are down to earth folks and not trying to impress others and do not put on airs and affectations. They are true to themselves. Down to earth, humble and real!

A man informs you that he was in the Marine Corps, and he been all over the world, and he never saw a place that he would prefer to go back to his home in Tennessee and all you see is a redneck.

"They don't want their culture changed and just want to be left alone." Hell, I can't blame 'em one bit! Our whole country needs to go in that same direction.

I would've thanked the old guy fishing on the pier for his service on camera after he said he was a truck driver while in the Marines. Our vets, no matter who they are, how old they are, or where they live, don't get enough of that gratitude.

I’m a proud new Tennessee resident. I don’t want it to change. That’s why we moved here.

IT'S EAST TENNESSEE AND YOU MADE ME DIE INSIDE EVERY TIME YOU SAID CENTRAL!!!!!

I am African and I live a rural life, if I were American I would live in the Deep South like a hillbilly

Driven this part of the State several times and found the people not just nice, but helpful…the landscape here is beautiful.

I’m a truck driver and pass through Tennessee frequently. Beautiful state.

You are extremely negative towards people that are a little different than you. Maybe you should trying to be a little more positive.. it goes a long way dude….

Hello friends, Pastor Fred here in Rockwood TN. Yes, we are the Bible Biker Church you pointed out on this video. I do wish you had stopped in and talked to us, you are welcome here.

I don't recon you'd find young boys running around dressed in miniskirts and wearing makeup like where ya'll came from Nick.

Hey Nick, as a Tennessean who has grown up here my whole life, just a piece of advice... The word "redneck" is usually not used in a positive way here in Tennessee. When someone calls someone else a redneck here they are usually meaning someone who usually not very well educated, stuck in the past, poor, and probably likes to drink and chew tobacco a lot. You call someone a redneck here, it's usually an insult. But it's ok! I got a good laugh at the beginning of the video since you just didn't know and were just trying to be nice.

Hey Nick, Great video. It had me LMAO!!! I'm a black female and I grew up in Roane County. You were pretty much all over the place there. Most of it was Crab Orchard, Rockwood, Kingston where Larry was and is probably still out there fishing. Shoney's was in Harriman and Rooster's place is out in Midtown. Too bad you didn't go on down the road to see our beautiful Roane County Park. All in all you did a pretty good job. We are hardworking folk, and we try to keep the peace with our kin-folk black and white. Feel free to come back and see us ya hear!

I grew up living in 12 states - always in a trailer park. People refer to us as "trailer trash" but never to our faces because they might get their face rearranged. My Mother is 96 was always a church lady. Those people city folks refer to as red necks are mostly just country people who would go out of their way to help you if you needed it. At the same time don't mistake nice for soft or weak. I would avoid the word redneck.

Too funny Nick, "who you callin a Redneck!" Great people there for sure! God Bless them all!

I grew up in eastern Slovakia and always thought it was rural but damn it wasn't. United States is so big you can drive for hours and hours and still be in the same area/county. I can take a morning train from my town in Slovakia and up in Switzerland or Italy in the afternoon. The perspective changes a lot when you learn about other places. I've been to the US several times but mostly to big cities. I would love to visit rural parts of America, especially small towns in Utah, Texas, Tennesee etc but for someone that doesn't drive, these places are so out of reach. One day :)

I sure as hell wouldn't call this "central Tennessee"! Nick needs to get a map and learn East and West! lol!

"I have no family here, but I've got a really big family here". Love how these people accept others like their own family even if they aren't blood family.
