what is your definition of a "redneck"?

Question

WHAT MAKES SOMEONE A REDNECK?

Answer 1

To me it's a lifestyle thing. As Jeff Foxworthy put it, to be a redneck is to have a 'glorious lack of sophistication'. They are very simple people.

Rednecks are not to be confused with 'hillbillys', who live in very rural areas or 'white trash' who is anyone that is white that has ever been on or watched Jerry Springer live.

You might also be a redneck if:

Answer 2

Since almost all farming is done by large mechanized conglomerates and almost all areas of the country share the same culture and mores, there is no such thing as a "redneck". And there hasn't been for an entire generation or more.

The myth of the redneck is something that marxists created as one of their manipulative titles (racist, homophobe, sexist, redneck etc.) that basically means that they disagree with them. The implication here is that the person is somehow deviant from the mainstream in a pathological sense. The truth is that it is liberals that are deviant (ie very few people agree with them) and pathological (they support genocide and other heinous acts that go hand in hand with marxism).

The more they are revealed for who they are, the more marginalized they become, both politcally and socially.

REDNECK-
Sadly I fear this is a southern term used to refer to a man that works outdoors most of the time...someone that lives, breathes, sleeps the country style of life. I've also heard it used to refer to Riggers (guys that work the oil rigs), cowboys, and ranch hands.
Someone who drives a big honkin truck even with the expense of gas now days. (there are a lot of guys that are rednecks in my town!) Country thru and thru!
