The rednecks Henry Nixon,Daniel McCarty, and Charles Stuckey couldnt stop talking about how they couldnt wait till football season so they could "popp" those nigers across the line and then a girl walked by and Henry said nice tits and hed never seen her in his life. They all want trucks and love to hunt they were jeans, boots, button downs, and a hunting jacket everyday.

It isnt clear where the term comes from, most now consider it to be workers from the south. It has become a very negative term, at least in many eyes. I mean I hate nascar, havent hunted in 30 years, have a degree, and I consider myself a redneck.
Redneck- person (mostly) from the south who doesnt care what you think of them. Tend to be loyal as dogs and likely has one.

By and large a rural or small town person with certain attitudes and tastes that are in general, lacking sophistication . For example, they prefer to only do certain things that most would consider in some cases crude or rough. But its just their nature. Usually because of how they were raised. Typically, they like to watch certain sports, and drink , and have a very blunt manner. A redneck is not Southern. There are redneck Southerners, but rednecks can be from anywhere, really. Southern rednecks actually have more in common with Yankees- due to their rude and brash manner and harsh way of speaking. There are lots of Northern and Midwestern Rednecks too in the USA. Redneck is an attitude that is pretty narrow and not open to other things . Most rednecks tend to be of the lower socio-economic backrground

redneck was actually derived from red bandanas that some cole miners from southern West Virginia word around their necks. Big businesses we not giving fair pay, hours, or labor conditions, so they started their own union. The red bandana distinguished who was for their efforts and who was against them.
