Redneck

Found all across the United States, an American redneck is a rural American who works a blue collar job, drives either a rust bucket, or a new pickup truck, or muscle car (usually old and custom), and believes in tradition, family, and freedom. Yes. Many of us appreciate NASCAR, fishing, hunting, bonfires, gun ranges, country and rap music, mobile homes, the use of contractions like 'y'all', 'y'all're', etc., jacked up trucks, chrome, flag waving, chest thumping, and, of course, recycling of Cool Whip containers, cans, and car parts. No. We're not racist, we believe in merit. We aren't all white. Many of us are Latino, Mestizo, Métis, black, amerindian, etc. We aren't less educated than everyone else. Thanks to the lovely public education system, everyone gets an equally shitty education, and plenty of us travel from time to time, and go to college.

The world "redneck" refers to the deep tan on the back of the neck caused by working and playing in the sun.
"She's a grade A, certified, homegrown redneck. Hasn't changed, never will." "Girls like her are hard to find these days, I tell you what."

Redneck

A stereotypical working-class white Southerner. Contrary to popular belief, many rednecks live and work in urban areas.

Rednecks are almost always hardcore conservative evangelical Christians. Most rednecks do not have anything beyond a high school education.

Rednecks are very political and more easily triggered than the "libtards" they love to ridicule. Rednecks are proud of their Southern heritage. Rednecks will own multiple things that display the Confederate flag. A true redneck would have voted for Trump twice.

Rednecks enjoy watching NASCAR and college football. Other redneck pastimes include fishing, hunting, and mudding. Rednecks get most of their TV news from Fox. They love guns.

Classic hallmarks of a redneck include a fetishization of oversized pickup trucks, casual racism, nationalism, nostalgia, a jingoistic US-Centric worldview, a love of low-quality booze, and a deep hatred of anything perceived as progressive, anti-American, anti-Christian, or anti-White. Rednecks are terrified of the technological, racial, social, and economic change that America is experiencing.

Rednecks like to think of themselves as down-to-earth, unpretentious, hardworking patriots. Despite their bad rap, most rednecks are very friendly hospitable people once you get to know them. They can have positive interactions with people who are not like them. Finding topics for conversation with a redneck can be difficult, but a good rule of thumb is to not bring up politics or religion.
Rednecks and their antics have dominated American politics for decades.

A real redneck loves the outdoors, has a close bond with his or her family, is all about DIY and takes pride in their work. Most likely a gun owner, drives a truck and lives in the country or a small town, probably has a dog, generally loves life, and is damn proud to be a redneck
A real redneck wouldn't ever give up their lifestyle, even for money and fame

Redneck

The word redneck has been misused for years. But do you know the history? In September 1921 10,000 armed coal miners went on strike to unionize the southwestern West Virginia coalfields. The coal workers wore red bandanas around their neck to identify as pro union.
"did you hear about those rednecks? they went on strike"
