The term redneck originated with farmers in mostly American southern states. Spending a lot of time in the sun turns your neck red from sunburn. But, in the part of the south I live (Tennessee) in the only people that will refer to themselves as rednecks live in a trailer park. To them it signifies being country, down to earth and enjoying simple pleasures. But, you would only call a friend a redneck just like if your not a dark skinned homo-sapien and say nigga to a "black" person you don't know.
Redneck is a derogatory and racist term chiefly but not exclusively applied to white Americans perceived to be crass and unsophisticated, closely associated with rural whites of the Southern United States. Its usage is similar in meaning to cracker, hillbilly, and white trash.
I say dark skinned homo-sapien instead of black because race is a social construct invented by a German scientist Johan Friedrich Blumenbach in 1776. According to Blumenbach Caucasians included the Caucus Mountains and surrounding areas of East Europe, West Asia (as far east as the Ganges Delta), AND NORTH AFRICA. The US v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923) shows this. It is often used as a psychological weapon of mass destruction to divide us a people. Take me for example I am not racially white. Though ethnically my background would be European-American (Spanish and Scottish mostly)/ Native American (very small amount).

Get the redneckmug. Young man over 40, often in a creative occupation trying to balance a de facto urban life with a traditional rural idea of manhood. Recognized through use of carefully selected colour coordinated workwear, completely out of context. Rural desire often expressed in a irrational fixation on treated cotton fabrics, fishing and/hunting.

Get the Redneckmug. When you get a fork, preferably rusty and the forks are bent, and you insert it into the vagina, then you spin it around.

Get the Redneck whiskmug. Yeti cooler; the ultimate status symbol for the rural hook and bullet crowd. often seen strapped to the back of a side by side or residing in the bed of a diesel pick up truck. Costs more than a trip to whole foods or a Canada Goose coat. Fill it with coors light and you have more ladies than a rapper with a rolex.
Darryl was rolling coal all over and prius and the bed of his truck had a redneck rolex filled with silver bullets. He is getting laid tonight!
