You still dance?

You have such a lovely family...

Mountain Dew and processed food was introduced to these hill folk and weakened the bloodlines

Jesco white his son is a wonderful dancer too. These people have been used and abused by the mines. Let them be. I enjoy the music dance and honesty they have.

@@badgrfan1256 weed and meth helped too.

This is just what I need!

It's not gone... there's just not enough people interested in looking for it

You just ain't going far enough in the hollar.

It will survive.

It can't be repeated. There's no profit in it, so the Republicans won't allow it.

@Phil M Racists don't deserve to call themselves American. We fought 2 wars about it. (For those keeping score at home, non-racists are 2-0)

Last name Farris.

Paul ray dunk farris he is on facebook

Try southern star bluegrass

that first tune is awesome

Tyler Basho Brandon ,, I agree ☝️

reffoelcnu alouncelal LMAO!

reffoelcnu alouncelal I’m the same way! So done with TV..

i dont even have a tv!

Who let the old people on KZfaq

Amen

✨💛✨

The federal government came in and saved them all

unfortunately his family is quite a disappointment. the only halfway decent one is jesco 😔

The little boy is still dancing… he’s trying to keep the legacy alive! Search Donald Maris White Jr on KZfaq. Little man’s father was murdered after this documentary and His Maw and Paw raised him.

Oh, you really made me laugh .

@@salemthemerciless But you forgot to add the "haha" Pun or no pun ?

Trailers don’t have “upstairs”

@@heatherdanielle85 Thankyou for voicing your opinion on the matter.

mybluebelly you’re welcome. I consider myself something of an expert on Appalachian architecture.

hellyeah!

Matthew F Michelin West Virginia wasn't part of the Confederate rebellion. They were in the Union.

LOL, untrue. West Virginia did not EVEN EXIST then, the "union" took the northern panhandle (look at a map). It's about five miles across, you can walk it. It was all Virginia then. Virginia was a wasp stronghold (from the coastal beginning of what became the u.s.), and the "union" wanted it wiped out. WV became a "state" during the war. Also many planter moved there "headed for the hills" from the eastern VA planter areas during the war (for obvious reasons). What's your home country?…seems not america

jack frost Ah, you're right. My mistake. To be fair, the CSA isn't my home country.

Matthew F Michelin Amen

He was actually a high ranking hillbilly chief, like a shaman…hahaha!

Bascom Lamar lusnford would like a word

Actually, that was my grandfather.

He was awesome and sorely missed.

Let us not forget Popcorn Sutton.

Thank u so much. 💓 I love u for talking nice about my grandpa./dad. He adopted me I'm really the black hair dude on the porch dancing. That's my dad. My grandpa and me and my uncle. My dad don't have the shirt o

@@Hazewhite81who was the other one that was dancing, the one with the shirt on, Dorsey?

@@Commentleaver-c6x ponnie

HamerSlammerSeries anybody who wants us all to be the same is just nuts. this is what makes life worth living. like u said regional...our differences are our beauty!! and our power!

HamerSlammerSeries AMEN!

@Melanie Willard diversity is not melting, there is no melting pot. It's like ceviche, identifiable pieces coming enriched by a common liquid. But each component shining through.

@Melanie Willard well in this example 1. It's not Irish for the most part Scots-Irish were Scots who were in Ireland for some time 2. The dance and music of Appalachia derived from the earliest times of Virginia colony 3. The banjo is african and there are ceremonial dances I've seen using flat foot dancing 4. The early colonial landscape of the u.s. was quite multiethnic and racial until Bacon's Rebellion when fears of multiracial working class coalition were tackled by increased social marginalization of black, mixed race and indigenous people. Read a book.

@Melanie Willard I think the fact that you think a continent with far more diversity than Europe linguistically, religiously, etc... are unified in dancing practices shows you're understanding of the world around you is some weird American White obsession with wanting to feel connected to having pure roots to Europe rather than their reality. You sound not only stupid but also pathetically transparent.

He was more talented, he's dead

Having my mother and her family all coming from W. Virginia, the Appalachian culture was part of who I am. I remember my reserved, dignified uncle, who was a respected educator and school principal, when he would rarely get a snoot of liquor, he'd buck-dance until he dropped. Happy memories.❤️

Sounds like my late grandfather.

If there was or is a better dancer I've yet to see them.

Thats cool thanks for sharing

Is that little boy dirty white boy ?

Matt Weis , amen amen and amen

Same here for a man tho... I was raised without electricity for a large portion of my childhood / early teens. Although I'm only 30 my upbringing is so much different compared to most Americans because I'm from the appalachia. And before we had a playstation this is what we did for fun. My dad would play guitar and sing and then he'd shout at me to "GET IT!" and I would flat foot to the guitar music on the front porch with my special shoes I only used for tapping. Lmao I miss stuff like that. The modern world ain't want it's cut out to be.

​@@the_original_Bilb_Ono "The modern world aint what its cut out to be..." Amen to that brother.

@@the_original_Bilb_OnoSounds like you got lucky and din't let modern tech rot your mind with horrible memes. All i can say is your are truely and many times over more blessed than your average, Call of duty playin/Mcdonalds eating American

They sure dont

I'm in the vortex to I'm trapt in it

Fool nothing about this is strange

If you haven't seen "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" you really should.

Yeaa my eyes

@@matthewsmith7749 shit son what you call weird I call a Friday night of my youth.

And HE is magnificent!

Where'd you think Fred and them got it from? Yep!

You are wrong for that! LMBLO!

@@redwolfmedia1276 Exactly !

Why would you think it was something to laugh at? Do you even have something in your heritage to look back on and appreciate? My guess is no you do not.

@@LisaCSCO Sure he has. He just hasn't found it yet.

Touchy crowd. Meant no offense. Quite the opposite.

@@edmundkempersdartboard173 You didn't offend no body. Just messin with you brother.

Must be a Washington DC boy lol

Richie Hembree I have his name

@@robertniles8240 who's name

@@richiehembree6536 you in tennessee?

Popcorn wasn't to bright, he got his own self busted because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He went around bragging about his business and the feds busted his ass. He might be a KZfaq and Moonshiners tv show legend, but here in the real world of local moonshiners he was a braggart and it got him busted. It also bought the feds/ATF down on everybody in Maggie Valley and surrounding area that was making shine. Always remember one thing when it comes to moonshiners, you have and will never hear of the real legend's.

@@lskiller1903 thing is , his whisky wasn't anything all that great except to people who didn't know no better, I've tasted it and can run up 4 or 5 hollers right now and get better. The majority of his fame came from people outside these Mts who ain't got a clue how things really work around here

Grandpa was the king of tap

@Mustard Fart No, actually. Not for many years. KZfaq recommended a highlight clip, so I watched it just to see what garbage that passes as modern pop was bedazzled with a Bullshit Statue.

Mine too!!

I saw a documentary where they did DNA testing on many of these people and none possessed any Native American DNA.. Have any of your family taken tests

@@norml6874 yes my family (to include me) took the Y-DNA37 test and yes the results showed native American, Portuguese and East African... and then about one hundred years later around 1800 the test results show the introduction of English, Irish & German ancestry. We even have in my family a few visible genetic markers that are are unmistakably melungeon.

FET Engineer nice!!!

FET Engineer I’m registered Yankton Lakota. That “native American” test is the Americas in general. It doesn’t show what type of Native American bloodline. Only family bloodlines will show that.

Tell Chris we said hello West Michigan

I really do watch this a lot. Thank you.

He's my fave White

@@MENFUSSMIKE Mine too. That said, it's not a hard choice. If the film they made about his kids is anything to go by, the next generation of Whites were a bunch of complete degenerates who live off disability and are either doing Oxy, or pushing Oxy.

@@brianm2881 I met Mamie. She invited me and my friend into her trailer to burn one then escorted us to Hasil Adkins place. Nice lady.

Its a pleasure to see you here Celeste. I'm so glad his memory is preserved here for you to look back on. ❤

Moment of silence R.I.P " D RAY WHITE "

@uni blab You forgot to Capitalize "Punctuation". I'm also willing to make you a loan if you are short on cash.

Grandpa / dad. Cause him and maw. Berty mae adopted me when I was 3 days old. My dad is the black hair dude dancing on the porch. I'm the little kid. My dad was d rays 2nd. Son the one that got killed in Minnesota. He was murdered over nothing.

@DMB a guy by the name of Steve rowe

Thanks bro I appreciate what u said. I'm the little kid. Grandpa was the king of tap in my eyes

Damn bud. I needed that!

My thoughts exactly. This dance was birthed from a cockroach infestation.

“His dad paid him a penny a roach, he made $59,245 when he was 9 years old.”

I made my above comment before seeing this lol!

So this is Boss music to a cockroach?

5:07 for those interested.. lol

Mangina......

Ah, the great West V. poetry...LOL

Love is all aroude

Are you my sister? Hahaha!

Jesco carried the torch if he's still clickin...

Pretty sure its because theres been so many advances in technology people are being entertained in different ways that there's no need for people to kill time by learning skills like this anymore.

I mean d ray died in a shoot out

I miss 'em too. The times...they are a changin'.

The main reason you haven't seen D Ray White is he was shot and killed in his front yard in 1985. Both his sons were shot in the same altercation but they survived.

You don’t live in the right part of rural America

Dancing or day-ancing? 😊

@@light_and_sound DAN'CIN

They have a few issues too...lol

Lol who hasn’t Hank sang about , he got in on ole Popcorn Sutton after the fact to.

Well I've been told a few times,I look like Hank the third. I love his daddy's and his grandpa's music.so I had to check it out,can't see Hank #3.But this old man can lay it down...Love your music Bocephus...

No way grandpa kept them strait. It's when he died they wouldn't listen maw. That's berty Mae. I'm the little blond boy in this lol. I'll be 41 in may

@@Hazewhite81 RIP to your grandfather, seems like he was a real family man🙏

give him a couple bucks...

Paul ray dunk farris

Waddy?

I laughed a little to hard at that!

It's Abraham Lincoln....

I seen him live in 2011 and he was hands down the best show I’ve ever been to. Wish he could tour again.

That right amen

Silvan Baker and still have his breath 😊👍🏼

Silvan Baker the real happy feet they must have made the cartoon after him, and never gave the credit where credit where it's due!!

Thats an understatement... He could start a fire.

mick martin 13, not 31. His wife would've had to be pregnant for upwards of 24 years total just to have 31 children.

valkor73 I think it was a typo or misunderstanding. Do you have a source for the number 31? Thanks for calling me a dick.

ThePatriotess1 wasn't Mamie, was my Mae Bertie Mae. I am the very last child she raised

Maw*

The world record is 1 woman raised 69 children.
