Especially for Coonskinner
Because of the climate of political correctness now
pervading America , those of us from Arkansas ,
and Missouri (AND PARTS OF KANSAS) will no longer be referred to as
HILLBILLIES.
We ask that you now refer to us as OZARK-AMERICANS.
Thank you!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I got a possum to fry.....

And, believe it or not, they are not all white supremacists waiting for the arm of the Lord to strike down everyone who does not look like them, talk like them, or think like them.
Most of them are -- or should I say "us?" -- are honest, hard-working folks who love life and family and God. They have a deep sense of who they are because they have a keen idea of who their parents were, and who their grandparents were, and so on. They have a rich heritage of living off the land -- not because they wanted to so much as because it was a necessity. And now that the days of depending on a garden patch and a milk cow for sustenance are over, many of them look back on memories of those days with a great fondness and tenderness.
They are also an educated lot; if not through formal education, then from pure will power and desire to gain knowledge no matter how it came. Many never finished high school, yet they are now voracious readers who learn volumes from life itself.
Many are artisans, woodcarvers, quilt makers, carpenters, log home builders (who still build them the old fashioned way), frame makers, artists, musicians, doll makers, blacksmiths, and writers. Others are entrepreneurs who have made their mark on the economics of this great nation.

My family with roots in the Ozarks always referred to the people in that region as "proud mountain folk."
