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."

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"

The original redneck, The term redneck comes from the West Virginia Coal Miners March (aka Battle of Blair Mountain) when coal miners wore red bandanas around their necks to identify themselves as seeking the opportunity to unionize. That is the true "Redneck history."
Now days there are rednecks from different nationalities, there are even northern rednecks, white trash is racist but a redneck isn't. Some of us make low wages, or make moonshine so we will be able to make enough money to live, a true redneck will do what ever it takes to put food on the table for his family, although they may not be well educated, they will do everything it takes to make sure their children are, they want the best for their kids as any parent does, a true redneck makes the best out of a bad situation.
Donnie is a true redneck, he stands up for what's right and is willing to help someone in need, and if there was a war on American ground he would grab his gun in a heartbeat to help out!

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
