I have.

That extends to people who don't know the history behind "redneck." These things are not taught in many schools and that includes the predominantly Black schools. Children are taught what the school districts want them to learn and that varies based on the area. My siblings and I learned most of the things that we learned because both of our parents are educators who believed that learning is what happens before kids leave for school and after the kids get back home.
