You the man fuggin
When WW111 starts make sure you have some of us as friends. We will survive. Shout out to all my Mississippi stump jumpers.
Can I please show you one of these wraps I have been practicing on it's called a venom by Eminem and then there's also another song called the search
@@kurtsaxton823 Back at ya!!
Can confirm we can survive
As a kid growing up in the country... I didn't know what racism was until I went to the city..... It's amazes me now days how country & racism gets thrown in the same sentence. We are about God, Family, Country, Respect, Hard Work & Moral's & the only color we see is Nature!
💯
Exactly
Right. I feel so out of place in any city I go to
Amen Scott! Same here!
I know what you mean.
Being a "country boy" isn't about race. It's about rugged independence. I really appreciate your review of the song! We are all Americans and we should be united.
Some of the best country boys I know are black.
@@hardtogetnamehere ong!💯
Agreed. They want us divided so we fall. We need to come together and quit listening to the narrative so it sticks.
Yes sir
Their mama will also cook some of the best dang food you will ever eat
As a old hillbilly farm boy. We all come from that branch and hold on to the values of Patriotism, Being Neighborly regardless of race, giving back to the community, and word of God.
LFR Family, I appreciate your commentary. We "country folk" have heard such vitriol and spite from so many black people who've judged us because the media paints country folk as ignorant racists. Your open minded attitude and kind heart is very touching. it rekindled hope for a unified American identity and brought me to tears. Thank you my brother. Sincerely, thank you for your healing words.
No country folks are not all the same people. I'm a country boy, and I'm Native American, and I can skin a buck. I do grow my own tomatoes, corn, squash, and beans. There's a creek just a short walk from my front door, that I can catch fish from all day long. There's a bunch more Native American country people here on the Reservation. I've known country people from all different races and cultures. I've known mexican country folks, black people who are country folks, white people, country people from other Native American tribes, I've known a few Asian people in the country. Country people come from all different races, cultures, and walks of life. I've known cowboys, cowgirls, farmers, hunters, mountain men, hippies, bikers, small business owners, mechanics, fire fighters, cops, soldiers, and more. Who are all country people.
Yes! Most people don't get it!
To be called a young buck is a complement coming from a southerner... it means you are physically fit, strong, and healthy and exhibit pride in who you are and where you come from... it also infers a level of respect is due you...
Yeah. I don’t get what he is saying. I mean I have never heard of buck being offensive. Why is it? I mean I’m from Kansas so call me an ignorant country guy but I don’t get it.
@@thefreeman8791 it’s offensive because it’s a term slavers used to advertise big strong black men. So a buck is what southerners used to call big black men
@Nick O I still ain't able to understand that... ain't it a good thing then?
Although I've had one get mad for me using the word boy, so I you just can't win with some of them.
@@nicko4346 no the hell it ain't. I've lived in the south all my damn life and I haven't ever heard it used in that reference. It literally means "young strong man". Quit falling for the buck breaking meme.
@@ForgotteMemories101 youve obviously never read any historical documents from slave owning plantations. Buck was a term to describe a strong enslaved male. White country folk have since used the term to describe any strong male but that doesn't negate the harm of the term. Learn and do better. Compassion and understanding costs you nothing.
"My grandpa taught me how to live off the land, and his taught him to be a business man" Those are some powerful lyrics...
I became a USNaval Officer in 1980 and was soon introduced to country music. This song is one of my favorites.
I gotta tell ya, a man from the south hears this in his soul. And we don't care what anyone thinks about it. We know what we know.
We know what we know and we're proud of it.
It's not just people from the South its little towns all around this land. If you're country, you're country, and damn proud
@@Unhinged933 Everywhere I have gone in this country, pretty much everywhere, that's true. I agree.
Im a Iowa boy born and raised. Grew up in acity with as many weekends as my Dad and I could spent in the country hunting and fishing. As an adult I moved to a rural town with the countryside just 2 minutes away. Hank Jr music resonates through my soul! being country isn't limited to a geographic region.
Women too 😉 I belt this out at the top of my lungs, cruising the back roads, with my windows down and my hair flyin' in the wind ❤️
That's OUR culture. There are country Black folks who can do ALL of the things spoken about in this song...my father was born around the coal mines of West Virginia and Kentucky..my mother was born in Akron Ohio. She was city, he was country. I grew up in Akron so I was raised in the city but I was brought up to appreciate both cultures. We visited family in Kentucky and Tennessee during summers. My family in the country taught me some of these skills and for that I am so thankful. I moved to the country to be with family about 15 years ago and....I'll never go back to city life...but believe that the country lifestyle is the lifestyle of most people who live in the country and it's not exclusive to any 1 race.
Smart comment, Amanda. It's about an attitude of fierce independence and self reliance. It's an understanding that the fragile veneer of "civilization" can fail. This could be during a weather emergency, war, or any other unforeseen circumstance. If supply lines failed, many urban people from all walks of life would be helpless. We tend to stereotype what we can't understand. That's why these conversations are important. When you make the effort to understand a different way of life, you win, and society wins.
If you were born and raised in the south no matter what color or nationality you are part of the country folks.....we have to stick together.
That's right. It's the culture, not the race. Country boys can be from any ethnic background.
Thank you for that post, gives me a little hope after seeing all these other posts.
As a country raised man here in Tennessee this song speaks to all race of Americans. Where I live there was just as many Black country boys as there was white country boys. What our country faces today is not a White Black battle. It's a Rich Poor battle. What our government doesn't want is a United Group of Americans. Of ALL races. If we have more of a conversation with each other we learn that our differences aren't really there. There is no government fix for a Human problem. We have to be willing to fix the differences. Just my 2 cents
I LOVE THAT SONG! IT'S NOT ABOUT ANYTHING RACIAL, IT'S ABOUT HAVING THE SKILLS TO SURVIVE OUT OF CITY TYPE LIFE. SURVIVAL IS LIFE.
...it also says to look out, Stagger Lee.
That is not true! SHow me where he says that??@@MidnightMark12
@@jaya2534
Guess who the shotgun is for, 'Buck'.
Go on, give it a try.
Thanks for listening to Hank. As a child born in the late 60s all I was taught..get in the garden and collect our vegetables...then can them. Our men in our family hunted to keep meat on the table. Taught about God, Respect, Values. We are poor...racism wasn't taught in my family. Equality was taught...learned of racism in school. Didn't care for it. All that is ..is hate. True country is about the land...nature. To hell with racism. As my grandfather stated..we all bleed red.
I was raised a country boy and that song is right on the money. I also feel that there is only one race. The Human Race. We are all in this together trying to survive.
and "THEY"'re trying to eliminate us...all this division between race is created to eliminate us...but they can't stomp us out ...IF WE STAY UNITED across this GLOBE
Buck thing could have waited, but he got it.
@@finallythere100
Someone is going to have to explain what that means to those of us who grew up skinning the male deer sort.
Is this one of those things that you look for to be able to pull the victim card?
When you start digging into what Hank Jr has survived, you realize just how truly bad ass and "unkillable" he is. An absolute Rebel legend who lays it down honestly.
Have you heard any of Hank III or Hank Williams Jr. Jr.? Now there's a guy who's survived it all. Hank Jr. lost all honesty when he started shilling for the NFL. You can't be a rebel and a corporate suit at the same time.
@@kevinpeterson1398 funny, I never read that part of the constitution.
@@jamesbael6255 the Constitution isn't instructing anybody how to be a rebel, it instructs us for Law-abiding. But it's non-law-abiding corporate suits who are forcing us into rebelling and no, you can't be both at the same time.
True. Anyone who can fall off a mountain, survive and come back 1000x stronger has my respect
@@princessoffire1107 we lived near the mountain he fell off😮 We’ve hiked it a few times and it still gives me chills!!
I love this guy for paying homage to us country folks. We're not flashy, rich, or braggarts, but we believe in peace and harmony between all humans, and we believe in providing for oneself off the land and sea. I was raised in TN and that's how we were taught anyway. Parents grew up in the civil rights movement. Glad to see a black man on the internet not hating us and realizing most of us are just as human as black folks are.
I am a 65 year old white woman, subscribed to your channel. I never knew "buck" was a word that triggered some people. Thank you for saying we all need to try to understand and appreciate the thinking and mindsets of others. That is a message everyone needs to hear.
Yeah, same here. Appreciate the sincere, non-judgmental, education.
I’ve never heard of”buck” used as anything racial. I have heard it used to describe the male deer or a strong young male or young buck. A buck is, in my eyes, a strong dominant male. I just don’t see how that could be a trigger word. If it is, it is. I would take that as a compliment. I’m older now so my “buck” status has been dropped because there are plenty of young men out there that are strong and dominant. Color of skin has nothing to do with it in my world. Alabama country boy/man here.
@@GaRockZombies its use for describing (usually younger) male *animals*/livestock carried over in the slave days, and after slavery, was used to continue to dehumanize black men. It is used to verbally hold them to their inferior place and triggers feelings for generations of maltreatment similarly as derogatorily referring to a man as "Boy" but worse due to the dehumanization and livestock connotations.
@@WonderingWildWanderingRosehonestly that sounds like something that needs to be left in the past. I have never heard of it being used as a racial slur. If it triggers someone then they have to deal with that and learn that it’s typically not meant to be degrading. It’s weird how some words can be used as triggers and others are freely used as a “term of endearment”.
A buck is a deer county folks hunt and fill freezer with deer meat
"just talk about your life"
Summed up country music right there.
Three chords and the truth.
Yes sir I love that
Three cords and the truth could also refer to Buddy Holly & The Crickets, CREAM and countless more. Sums up music right there.
All country songs talk about the same crap, their truck their dog, Nashville and drinking and heartbreak
@@JohnStockton7459 naw, it's about slap'n ho's n shit
I don't know who you are but you just let me write a song thank you muse
Sign of the times......." Due to the rising cost of ammo we've eliminated the warning shot!"
Actually, the warning shot goes into the stack leader, that's how the rest of the stack gets the warning. (I know this 'cuz it's a MEME.)
Shoot in the air, you don't know where the round will land. Learned in the Army: one shot, one kill.
You earned a hillbilly subscriber and Mad respect!!! There’s no racism with this music, it’s just the voice of a different kind of culture and poverty. Much love
As a liberal redneck, I hate how much our culture is tied/associated with racisim. I mean...I get it, it IS a huge issue that needs to be addressed in a lot of our communities. But everyone, from the country to the cities can be and are shit too.
Why I love reaction videos like this from people with no idea about what they're getting into. It's just raw and pure. And LFR is the kind of good people that makes it a great experiense.
@@d34dR0d3n7 I’m going to assume you’ve watched Trae Crowder? You should if you haven’t. He’s a good old boy from Tennessee,and a stand up comedian. He is very liberal and his videos are awesome.
@@d34dR0d3n7
There was no racism out in the country in the 80s.
The boomers pulled that out of the 60s when they needed to feel important again.
Country boys and gals, have no color bro. It's a way of life, a way of thinking. Blessings to you and your family. Thanks for seeing through our eyes..
Country folk don't go hungry. Even the poorest ones won't starve. They thrive on self sufficiency. Something that everyone can benefit from learning.
Neither will a fisherman?
@@PatrtgamesPsPs , not a lot of fisherman in the big cities. In the suburbs though there are many. Also hunters but most don't do it for the sole purpose of feeding their families. It is a sport they enjoy and not done for survival.
I got cousins who hunt and fish in between work. The got sheds that they carve up any deer they kill, and smoke it up for some damn good jerky. I used to hunt but it lost the appeal after my grandpa got sick. But I know how to smoke meat and carving up a beef. Family tradition of beef raising, and I make my own recipes for bbq.
Yes! Thank You.
Neither will their neighbors. Country folk take care of each other, regardless of skin pigmentation. Hell, if a neighbor gets hurt/sick the other neighbor will come do your chores, just do the same thing if the time comes
I think it’s a damn shame we can’t come together as American and have to be divided by color rather than unite by morals and genuine human connection
When we fight each other, we don't fight them. Divide and conquer
I dont understand. I'm not separate from anybody.
the left doesn't have morals
We are divided by economics.
I think most people do. News stirs everyone up to think it’s the norm.
This song has come back around and is certainly a song for these times. As far as the word buck., I would have never thought of it in that context like a black person. It’s all a matter of perspective and what you’ve been taught.
Exactly. I think of two things: a male deer and buck shot.
Right buck stands for one dollar. Young buck means young an strong. Stop with the victim snowflake bullshit van.
Right I wanted to ask how many points because I get damn offended by a three point... triggering as hell 1 tag... im definitly a failure 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for being open- minded and realizing what the song is about! God bless you from us "country folk"!
That song was made a long time ago, before people looked to be triggered by every thing.
people was still triggered by everything there just wasnt social media to find out about it
Yes
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@zachfulk9852 What is called "Triggering" today used to be called "I don't like." Triggering is an idea peddled by the Misery Merchants who push victimhood for their own profit.
@@zachfulk9852 90's was the Christian political right and now it is the radical left. It is all about controlling the narrative.
I'm a white man from Alabama walking this dirt for 55 years. I love you bro for reviewing this. We are not all the same people. There are haters against black folks everywhere. There is also hate for white folks in the black community. Both are wrong and need Jesus. We need love. I love you and everyone else. I am here for anyone who needs me. I can't change or fix the past. All I can do is be a positive force fo tomorrow. So that is what I do. I work towards making tomorrow better for us all. If tomorrow is a setback for you, it's also a setback for me. That's the commitment I make to my fellow humans.
Everywhere?... I guess. Idiots are not "haters" they are just idiots, mostly. 🙄
Indiana proud !!!
YES, brother! See you soon in the sky at the rapture!
As John said, people of ALL nations and all languages will be there at the wedding supper of the Lamb.
He (Jesus) had to save us from our sin, not skin.
There's only one race, the human race!
@@mattyjay8896 yes sir would Jesus care ? He isn’t white
This is one of my favorite songs to listen to, and to pick around at on my guitar. I grew up in SE Ohio, spending lots of time visiting family in WV and TN. This song always makes me think of hunting with my dad and uncles & cousins, fishing with my Pap, and drinking beers in truck beds parked out next to the cow pond at a friend's farm. It also reminds me of the hesitancy my people can have toward trusting outsiders, or venturing out of the hills to see what's there - qualities I didn't relate with, and have always tried to do my own thing. Things you remember with love, things you remember with anger, things you remember with laughter and sorrow - home, basically.
I'm Wooster Ohio, grew up in cleve
I saw hank jr. twice, I was a country girl born n bred in Philly when country wasn’t cool. He is a legend and has been my favorite singer since I was 18, now I’m old, lol young people have no clue, his dad was Hank Williams, there will never be another Hank❤
Respect to the host of this podcast... seems like a proud black, American man from the city. 💪✌️ This H. Williams, Jr. song is also about respect: for the law, for self reliance, for friendship, loyalty... and for 🇺🇲
Clearly! 💪🏽
@@LFRFAMILY thank you for your content. Just subscribed.
Ain't that the truth, my Daddy was artillery, they shot at my house because I am white 1989. Pregnant to boot
This was our anthem growing up. I remember when I bought my first 4 wheel drive. Had a Pioneer super tuner III Tape player. Cranked this song to the max, with the windows down, and 30-06 rifle in the gun rack in the back window! Brought a tear to my eyes. It's not racial, it's cultural. I love everyone just like the Bible says.
Hell yeah
Amen!
It is not just the South, my Pap always called young boys bucks, especially Teenage boys. Just like a Deer, a young buck is full of energy, full of himself and ready for the world. Also Buck was the name of one of my closest adult friends as a 20 year old and he was a very big guy, very proud, and full of life. A Buck is a majestic animal, in full antler with velvet, and the more points the more majestic, missing the Hunter's bullet or Arrow for many years.
Never knew the word “buck” triggered the black community. I don’t know why. I’ve only thought of the word as a deer. It’s great how much we can learn about each other when we discover more about each other’s culture, backstories and traditions. Thanks for making these videos.
I was born in Arkansas, grew up in Vegas, and now live in Idaho. Being "country is just a mindset. Pretty much just love your family, respect your neighbors, and love the good old USA. Great reaction!
I also live in Arkansas. Country boys are just well mannered, polite, kind, funny people.
I'm from Arkansas as well I'm a black country boy and I love this song

Haha exactly I was like wtf?
Me too that’s what a buck is and it’s also a male rabbit
@@mayjones7337 a male rabbit is a jackrabbit or hare
My parents listened to Hank when I was a kid. I always have loved him and his music ❤
I enjoy your content sir. New sub added! I’m a God fearing country boy! Born and raised on a cattle farm. We hunt, fish, trap and raise a garden. We were taught to respect our elders and show manners toward everyone. You’re spot on about what you said. We need to communicate and understand each other. We’re not really that different. We’re all just trying to navigate our way through life while try to provide for our loved ones. Much respect to you sir, take care.
I'm one of those country boys! I grew up on a farm on the Virginia/North Carolina state line. I farmed part-time for many years before going full-time last year. It's hard work, but it's worth it. Folks raised the way I was tend to be more polite, and more self-sufficient. I think we need to teach more politeness, respect for others, and self-sufficiency skills to our kids. Come on down....my folks will welcome you like family and treat you right! Love from Virginia.
North Carolina 💙
@@JDC1976 I prefer Lexington style barbecue. My last meal should be a Cheerwine and chili burger. I live in VA, is that Carolina enough? I can also dance "the shag."
I grew up in a busy suburb but my dad grew up in the Virginia mountains during the Great Depression. Even though they had to reuse everything and jimmy rig things, they always had food. He pitied the townies when he saw the soup lines when taking food to market.
Same! Mississippi
Love from NC!
Love it! My dad was a country boy from the sticks in Tennessee. He could do most of these things! He passed away when I was 13 years old, but I’m thankful for my country roots. This song always brings me memories of my dad. Yesterday marked 35 years since I lost him, so this reaction really touched my heart. 💜
What he’s saying is!! Country people can survive… thank you for playing this.. and thank you for finally seeing a different view..at the end of the day We are all Americans!! People in power forget this…
Born n raised in NC in the country and i can tell ya the resilience of a true country boy is unmatched i know 80 year olds that still get it in daily with the young boys i also know people who cant read or write but can build anything you ask em too
"Hank, Why Do You Drink, Hank Why Do You Roll Smoke" It's a "FAMILY TRADITION" ☮️✌️🕊️
To get drunk! To get stoned! Lmao LOVE ME SOME BOCEPHUS
This 64 year old white city boy from Arkansas loves you brother. THANK YOU for saying what so many of we “deplorables” believe. We must bring under control all the race baiting hustlers who are trying to divide us and rip back open those old ugly wounds and scars most of us carry, black and white. We must stand as brothers and sisters against the evil SOB’s that profit from our pain. LETS GO BRANDON!🇺🇸
@mr oko it’s named when found not for the source. The Mississippi starts in like Idaho. The Arkansas river was discovered in Arkansas, hence the name.
@mr oko as an Arkansan, I’m weary of that joke, but I get it. How states got their names from so many mixed languages, it’s a wonder we can pronounce anything correctly 😂
@mr oko 🤣🤘
I say stop teaching the kids the words like N - or buck as you feed them pain and hate
I grew up no knowing what white trash means which it never effected me
EXACTLY!! GOD, Creator of the universe, created ALL the various skin colors and there are, unfortunately, good and bad among EVERY skin color! God LOVES VARIETY - that's why there is VAST variety in EVERYTHING that exists in the world! So hating a certain color of SKIN is totally POINTLESS, RIDICULOUS, and PURE EVIL!!! END of rant!! 😆😉😁 .
You nailed the vibe of country! It's story telling at its best and there ain't nothing like some good ole country folks
Wise words from a young dazzling urbanite.
I have a neighbor who is a black man and is a hank jr fan to the max. I would say he is more country than i am cause he does more of the things in that song than i do..lol
I have known many pure country black Americans.....
@@6StimuL84 Yes indeed. Culture makes a person more than biology does.
not an uncommon occurrence. country folks are country folks.
True that race don’t matter at all it’s where you grow up and how you grow up
Hank is essentially a blues man, makes sense. Lots of his influence comes from there
All my rowdy friends have settled down. Another great HWjr song.
My personal favorite is Family Tradition. That one is real fun!
Kaw li ja, and Family tradition
Major moves and all for the love of sunshine are my favorites
My favorite Hank song. (All my rowdy friends have settled down) Swear, story of my life. I would LOVE to see that!
It makes me so happy to see people doing reactions to old Hank songs! The music I grew up on❤️
Im an old white man but i love your way of thinking. We need more people of every race thinking like you. God bless you brother.
Thank you for your comments, saw Hank perform this live in 1987, crazy concert by even today's standards. When I was a kid the first day of deer season was an unofficial school holiday and the kid who shot the "buck" with the biggest rack had bragging rights that season. The biggest takeaway from this song is country folks/hillbillies don't need city people but city people can't live without country folk/hillbillies.
DANG STRAIGHT. far better to be country then an inner city dweller
Country is: Friend of mine once told me "You could survive out in the woods with just a knife and a lighter.".. One of the best compliments I ever got.
I was guiding a canoe trip of foreign tourists, one of them called me Jungle... I was kind'a peed until a friend told me it was a real compliment for a survivalist.
You need a lighter? Sounds like a city boy
@@robertbolen5424 I'm country as they come. I can get a fire started without it, but you best believe I always have a lighter, though. It's way more effective and less energy spent.
You can’t do that 😂 guaranteed
One of my bosses at a construction company once told me that I could do more with less than anyone he'd met. 20 years later, it's still one of the most memorable compliments I've ever gotten.
This is great! Omg, this got me right in the heart. ❤️ My late ex-husband, and I were young and married, loved this song! Played the hell out of it. Thank you for memories! ❤️
I grew up in both worlds ,I lived with my mom during the school year in the city. Weekends I went with my dad to the lake were we fished hunted and sp4ent time with some good old boys and ladies just loven life. Im proud to say that city life left a bad taste in my mouth so at 17 I moved to the country and never looked back. I wouldnt change my life for anything now Im 65 ,retired and just watch the horses run and the cow get fat and there is only 2 seasons Huntin season, and fishing season.
When I was growing up in the Sixties and Seventies on a Farm with River Property in West Tennessee. The Hatchie River has never been dredged or bothered in anyway. It is home to so much Wildlife. I was walking by myself hunting or hunting with my cousins at 11 years old. I always had a 20 Guage Shotgun or a 22 mag Rifle and a 22 magColt Peacemaker. We knew how to stay in the woods. Our parents taught us how to know the difference between what you could eat and couldn't as far as Wild Vegetables and Berries. My mom made Muscatine Wine. We canned fresh vegetables from the Garden. My Uncle kept Ham and other meats in a dirt cellar the same way it was done before refrigeration. I can do everything mentioned in this Song. Except make my own wine. I don't drink alcohol except very very rarely and very little if I do. I was driving a farm truck about 12 or before. I drove our two tractors and raked and bailed hay. I know how to kill a hog and clean it. Same with Dear. I never had the chance to learn how to dress a cow though. Staying in the Woods for days was fun and adventuresome as a child, teenager and my early twenties. I could live out there but at 60 I would not enjoy it now.
Hey , brother , great reaction ! I'm a 42 year old Country Boy - Born and Raised - and it warms my heart to see a good young Man like yourself discovering and appreciating This Classic Masterpiece ! ! Keep up the good work , Son ! ! !
A country boy can survive is the greatest country song of all time
That's what country music is, story telling.
This is one of the greatest country blues songs every written.
My friend, I have now watched a few of your videos and hats off to ya…
I am a country boy born and raised in a town of 220 people deep in the hills.
Your response to this song and a few videos that I’ve watched shows an amazing part of your character as a man.
I was raised to judge a man on his character as there is no skin color in my heart.
I raise my boys the same way and you my friend are a good man!
So again my hats off to you and so many blessings to you and your family!
Sincerely Dusty
Great content a must Sub!
Hank Jr. Is a legend. You are absolutely correct about educating each other. Another song of Hanks you can do is whiskey bent and hell bound.
Old country is much different than new,, and Hank is outlaw country 🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸
"Cuz you can't starve us out and you can't make us run, cuz we're them ol boys raised on shotguns"
Amen brother
And we are the ones that NO ONE can disarm. WE MAKE GUNPOWDER WHERE I LIVE.
This southern girl can shoot the top of a D cell battery off from 200 yards away...yee haw!!
@@donnar9864 I can't shoot a gun for crap other than 22 squirrel rifle, but I can hit the white on a metal fence post at over 50 yards with a LONGBOW.
And I CAN skin a buck, I CAN run a trout line, I CAN make my own smoke and my great granddaddy made white liquor for Chicago during prohibition.
I even studied with a midwife lol. The boys are good; we womenfolk are much better.
Gigantic Bocephus fan here, for years, but just now finding out with your comment that those lyrics are “ we’re them ol’ boys …”. I had never caught that
I grew up listening to this music and I can fish hunt work on my car. My daddy taught me well. I am a country girl born and raised. I can survive in the world. One time someone we didn’t know showed up in our driveway drunk at 2 am and was met with 3 shot guns and 2 dogs. We are friendly and civil. We are not savages as some people believe. ❤️❤️❤️
Were out here...they'll know it when we want them to, but for now-just leave us alone. I hope the pups are healthy and the powders' dry.
Only thing you all were missing was a couple of 3 cell Mag lights shinning brightly in his eyes! Journey on country girl, journey on. Country folk like us have a common core, it's common sense and situational awareness. Which I picked up from my Dad, God rest his soul, who taught me how to hunt. Taught me a great respect and connected me deeply to our one and only great Mother Earth. Love and forgiveness is what we need to keep the human race thriving. Peace to all
At 67 I took stock of what I have done and can do to survive and I’m grateful to the men and women in my life that taught me how to do survival skills with hunting, fishing, trapping, butchering, build fire and sheltering and to cook and sew ! I know how to shoot, dial in any scope, shoot a bow , make arrows! God bless my uncles and mom and dad who enriched my life and I have taught my sons my skills and hopefully it will serve them if things get any worse!
Thank You For Being Real!!!!
“WE” as Americans should be able to critique, joke, party, discuss, listen etc etc etc without all the anger that the media keeps narrating to us.
Braw - Keep up your genuinalty to others and if you can get just one person to realize, out of millions that life to short to be bickering over the past. You’ve done the right thing!!! Your the Best Man! Keep an open mind and you’ll rip later knowing you did your best!!
I love that you get us. I never knew racism growing up. Never heard the words…never saw anyone treat anyone with nothing but respect.
As a white country boy that grew up in the military around every race there was I appreciate your comments and thoughtfulness about how we can break down the barriers between each other. You are an inspiration and I appreciate you as a man and a person. 😎😎😎👍👍👍
There is such raw emotion in Hank's voice when he says "shoot him with my old .45". You can tell that is a real experience.
My dad had a similar experience. He had a friend working at a 7/11 who was shot by someone over $11 in the cash register.
That's because his Friend Mike really was killed over 43 dollars in NY.
All love my American brother 🇺🇸❤️ more alike than we are different and the differences in all is what makes us the best. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
I really respect your efforts to understand the culture of other's WeThe people!!! No race No gender, No religion, just We the people!!! Free people!!! You are correct we need dialog understanding, Remember anyone can twist anything if given the opportunity!! I Enjoy your learning, keep up the fantastic work!!!! Stay safe & always protect your family!!! We are American's!!!! Family!!!! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS!!!!!
Funniest sign I’ve ever seen out in the country hood read “You are now within firing range.” Lol
My grandfather had a sign that said "Trespassers will be shot on sight, survivors will be shot again"
My kids made a sign when it retired. "Our dads retired now you've been on range for 2 miles and he's bored.
" don't worry about the dog, he's to scare off trespassers before I get to you"
@@jimmynickels158 named my pit bull snuggles and my rottie/mastiff mix fluffy for just those occasions.
I have seen a sign that said 120 MPH on a gravel road
I’m 43 and from the south. Never heard of buck used differently.
Truer words were never spoken🙏 communicating with others could stop so much hate..simple misunderstandings have caused more heartache in this world than all the wars combined
I am a 63 year old woman and grew up hunting and fishing in Montana. We had a huge garden and grew almost everything we ate. We canned, pickled and even made ketchup! I was a country girl and still am to this day. I now live in Texas on a little plat of land by water and wildlife all around me!
As a New Englander who now lives in the Mountains of Western North Carolina, I have to tell you the people here are big hearted and generous to a fault.
I love listening to Hank Jr.
I had NO idea that the word "buck" was something of a derogatory word in the black community. Damn, good to know. Thank you for this great review, Van. I never stop learning from you. I love your videos, love your channel and have an enormous amount of respect and appreciation for all that you do.
If a southerner calls someone a buck means they respect you!
Actually the plantation owners called the black male field hand a "buck". So, it could be something that does not sit well with black Americans growing up in the south.
I’m from the south and have had older black men say young buck as a normal substitute for name. idk wtf half y’all on about I’m just not trying to play the language police games that ultimately divide…
@@guyincognito1406 Sorry, I'm not trying to divide; it is just the history of the word. It was a way to describe the male population without calling them men. Maybe the meaning has changed now.
Small town “country folk” are good people like 99% of the rest of people from anywhere else. We are all people, we all need to stop stereotypes and just start talking.
Yeah, we're all people, but good exists, and evil exists, and "what you're saying is just naive silliness. 99% of people are not good. Bad people awlays have and always will outnumber good people. That's just the nature of the human race. While you're talking, the other guy is likely thinking of a way to stab you, shoot you, rape you, or enslave you.
You'd better be ready to strap on a gun and come down out of the hills when called on, or the bad people will win.
@@jamesaritchie1 you'd better be ready to strap on a gun and come down out of them hills when called upon.
Yeah. Let me stop you right there. We don't work for you. And what your saying is is that yall can't handle it and that you need us country folks to come bail your asses out. Ha
Now its called "Living off the grid". I was raised in a small town right on the Mississippi this song hit home with me.
Same man. North Mississippi backwoods born and raised
Man im from Texas brother and anyone i meet from Mississippi is EXTRA off the grid. You boys get to talking and ya wont stop!
My granpa from Mississippi. he tells storys of how it used to be back then. God bless
I was raised on an island in the middle of Puget Sound. We fished and farmed food and had well water and an outhouse.
No BS I grew up in Monroe, La. It's always in the top 5 dangerous places in America. This song was my Anthem growing up. I always felt I could survive because of this song & where I was raised.
That Song is So Real 🇺🇲✨🙏✨💯👍✌️👌💞Love Your Soul Van , I know your a Good Father ✨🙏✨💯🇺🇲✌️💞
Theres noway Bocephus won't survive anything. A damn mountain couldn't kill that man.
Yep! Great movie about him called “Living Proof.”
That mountain tried, but Bocephus even survived that!
Well we know that ladies and Jim beam didn't kill him back in 73......that whole family is a bunch of tough SOB's. I love Hank 3 song the Grand old Opry isn't so grand anymore.
Man can take it!
@@kimberlinibambini1988 LOL...You’re old. JK..I remember that movie. If I’m not mistaken, John Boy played Jr.
Been listening to Hank my whole life and he never disappoints!
Will never run out of Hank jr. songs to listen to.
I got to see him in concert back in the day, it was great until some hells angels started a freaking riot. Ahh, good times!!!
Me 2 all my life My 18 yr old niece is a HATD CORE Hank Jr fan , goes 2 concerts with her Daddy
Hank 3 is awesome also, take a look, has 3 different shows in 1 concert, extremely talented.
This was the way my family grew up. My brother made his own beer. We deer hunted in the winter and fished from spring to fall.
Ain't no racism in that song! It's about living a good honest life loving God and your neighbors and helping each other no matter what your skin color is!
The term "redneck" actually referred to the men who worked hard in the fields all day and the back of their necks would turn red from the sun. I liked the way you explained how the word "buck" is a trigger. But what we need to do instead of allowing ourselves to be triggered is to always consider the intent and the context first. That is what you did. A great lesson. Meanings are in people, not in words. Thank you.
red bandanas around there necks is were it came from.
@@deannaledford1270 nope, in print a half century before the battle of Blair mountain.
No actualy the term REDNECK came about from the coal miners. The unions wore Red bandanas to distinguish them from the coorporate. Look it up.
@@laurabeckwith7431 Do you know where the word "redneck" come from?
“Redneck” is a derogatory term believed to have originated as a literal description of poor, rural southern U.S. farm hands and road construction workers, whose necks would be sunburned bright red from hours working outdoors in the days before sunscreen. The term dates from the early decades of the 20th century in the U.S." looked it up. 🙂
It all started with the coal miners!! Wiki makes it derogatory. Look up coal miners n the term redneck you dumbass
Bocephus...the man, the myth, the Legend! Stoked to see you cover him.
Country music is life in the realest way
Preach! We are all children of God!! God bless you Van for always having an open heart!!!
One of the few country songs that gives me goosebumps every single time.
I actually got goosebumps right as I was reading this
There is something about you reactions that literally bring me to tears and it's this. YOUR HUMANITY! You make it so easy for people of different cultures to experience each other. I come here and watch you get inspired by my culture that you've never seen and you do it so kind and loving! You are really bring us all closer and May God bless. You for that!
Songs coming true right now. The Mississippi is drying up again. You talk about just talk about your life. I like all kinds of music but I grew up way back in the hills. I got my hands on a copy of Straight out of Compton and it changed my life. I'm glad to see other people hearing the music I grew up with. You hear that Blues in the song. Makes my heart swell.
This man's life story is incredible
We can come together my friend. All of us. We just need more people realizing this shit. We not enemies, coming from a country boy. ❤️
People all over have far more in common and they are more alike than many people ever get the chance to realize. When you've traveled to many places and spent time with the local people, you learn this is the same all over the world. It's the "top dogs" that try to separate us and make us see only our few differences and they do it to try and keep us apart.
Amen
Well said!
I never knew "buck" was a negative term. Born and raised Ga girl and NEVER heard anyone use it to describe anything negative. Had no idea. Learned something new today. Wish it wasn't a thing that needed learnin'.
Historically breaking the buck is where wearings pants below the butt came from many southerners deny this happening google breaking the buck you will see what hes talking about
I'm from LA and we have never used buck as a negative term. It's a compliment to usually a young strong man..."young buck".
The song says skinning a buck, as in removing the hide of the animal before processing the meat. And is in no way a racial slur.
@@janiemiddlebrooks8993 I am from KS and same here
A buck is a male deer. A doe is female. Like I was WILDER than a buck in rut. Rut meaning in heat!
It's not negative. Young Buck means a young deer. Young bucks will try to challenge older bucks to take their does.
So using Young Buck means you are Young, Strong and looking to make a name for yourself. It's also a warning to Young guys to keep themselves in check or this old man will slap you down.
Finally some that understands us country people
This song is even more relatable today.
"Just talk about your life" -- that's country. No preaching, no agitating, no political agenda: just life in all its manifestations. That's why we love it
If that were true Fla/ga line would only sing about cucking and experimenting 😆
@@skiracing18 Lmao! Wheeler Walker Junior approves. If you haven't heard his music you are missing out.
The Ride by David Allen Coe
This person is referring to classic (real) county music
Dude talk about brilliant. Hank Williams Sr. was the GOAT. They called him the hillbilly shakespeare. His songs are deep. Some are funny, some are cold as hell.
Damn straight 👍
If the wife and I are fussin',
brother that's our right
'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight
Why don't you mind your own business..
Hank Jr, was brilliant..
My fav. Mr. Lincoln
Check out Hank III
You should hear Shelton Williams ( Hank III) Sounds just like his grandfather Hank Sr. Went to school with him and NEVER thought he would go country. He used to be Grunge
@@HeatherHolt1313 I have seen Hank III perform live in Lubbock Texas.
Heck yeah skin's love this song country boy here from Arkansas grew up to songs like this and I believe that any can be as country as they want to be because country not in your skin it's in your heart yeeyee
God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏 ❤️, The World have lost 🙏 respect, honor, love of Country, and most of all LOVE OF GOD.
