Apparently, the title of redneck has become a title of respect for some. I remember growing up when "redneck" was a bad thing. When I say redneck, I mean it the way it once was: wife beating, uneducated racists. Are you a redneck, and what does that title mean to YOU? Open to all country music fans and G.W. supporters... (LMAO, that should get your goat)

I really wish the good southern folks wouldn't call themselves "redneck," but then the eight years I lived there, the "yankee" in every sentence got pretty freakin' old, too. I wasn't a person, a human being with feelings, I was just a thing. So it's payback time!
For starters, let me say there is no such thing as redneck comedy. Rednecks are only funny when they're trying really hard not to be laughed at. Why is Larry the Cable Guy rich and famous? I work with a hundred inbred idiots just like him and they're all poor, and they get fired after lunch on the first payday for coming back drunk, if they make it that long.
I worked with a redneck who just bought his first pair of steel-toe shoes, which we have to have at work. On the first break in the parking lot, we heard "Jethro" screaming like a little girl puppy. So we ran.
Dumb@ss had stuck his foot under a semi that was pulling out to see if his new shoes worked. And he always said black folk were dumb. What rocket scientists had ever gotten together and decided that breeding a Jethro might not be a bad idea?
Of course, the same can be said for George Bush's parents, but at least it can't be proven that they're all that closely related.
My girlfriend in Houston was Costa Rican-Mexican. We had to endure all sorts of racial slurs, to her face and behind our backs. It was especially bad when she brought me lunch at work. So I told all the guys I worked with, "That's cool. I know how you rednecks are. You won't fool around with anybody you're not already related to."
Three quarters of them laughed. I guess I know which quarter are shacking with their sisters, moms, and cousins. Somebody definitely took a leak in their gene pools...
Whenever they called me a yankee I told them my grandpa was a carpetbagger, so now we're even.
And Country Music... now that's an oxymoron for you. It can almost make rap sound intelligent and happy.
Why doesn't Jerry Springer just move his show to Muskogee? You can count the teeth, and the lower the number, the more "interesting" the guest. That's how they pick mayors down South.
Do you know how you get a redneck girl pregnant? You spew on her panties and let the flies do the rest.
I'm not worried about offending any rednecks. Any that have read this far without having a stroke or wearing out their lips trying to read might be smart enough to know I'm mostly kidding.
When I was growing up in the early seventies, you were either a freak or a redneck. I wasn't a redneck.
What do you mean, get their goats? How are the poor things going to mow their yards without them?
(I loaned a redneck buddy a couple of goats once so he could find his monster truck. He had to work all summer to scrape the money together to buy a new radiator cap, five bucks. The truck's still MIA and my goats blew up.)

Rednecks are usually referred to people who sport the Confederate flag at least down here in the South. Redneck to me means someone who is kind of "backwards," but not a racist. It doesn't mean racist. Yes, they are usually republicans, but not all are wife beaters, uneducated or country music fans.

Redneck to me these days is defined by Jeff Foxworthy's interpretation...a redneck is a person with a glorious lack of sophistication.
