Webster:
1 sometimes disparaging : a white member of the Southern rural laboring class
dictionary.com:
1. an uneducated white farm laborer, esp. from the South.
2. a bigot or reactionary, esp. from the rural working class.
American Hertitage Dictionary of Cultural Literature:
A slang term, usually for a rural white southerner who is politically conservative, racist, and a religious fundamentalist (see fundamentalism). This term is generally considered offensive.
World Net:
A poor white person in the southern United States.
The term is used to describe only white people but that doesn't mean that there arn't black "redneck"s as well. It's just that the term means "a poor rural white with conservative/racist views" Anyone can be poor, rural, and racist reguardless of color but the term "redneck" specifically implies that that person is white. So yes there is such a thing as a black 'redneck' in the south (as if that is something to be proud of)

I actually heard that hanging is still going on in Mississippi or around those states. I've actually lived in the south though(Georgia) and it was the first time i saw so many black people dominating a whole city. There's pretty much no racism and i don't know if what i heard was true, but if it is then maybe thats what people are talking about?. I also hear that the KKK are more open in the south. I live in the North now so i don't know whats going on down south anymore.

There are plenty of black rednecks.
Being a redneck is a requirement for driving in a NASCAR race. There's a couple of black NASCAR drivers.

Redneck is a state of mind that is oblivious to region or color.

I think if they are Black, you are required to use the term Hillbilly.
