What does it mean to be a Redneck?

On one hand, the word “redneck” probably means something very specific to you. On the other hand, if you asked 10 people to tell you what the word redneck means, you might get 10 different answers . . . depending on their family’s background, where they live and how much they’ve been influenced by the media’s view of rednecks.

So, what does it mean to be a redneck? There’s no simple or complete answer to that question. We would suggest that if you answer yes to any one of the following questions, you can proudly consider yourself a redneck.

1. Do you like to hunt or fish?
2. Are you a fan of NASCAR?
3. Do you own a pickup truck?
4. Are you a gun-owner?
5. Do you like country music?
6. Do you laugh at and identify with “you might be a redneck” jokes?
7. Do you agree with the creed of the American Redneck Society? (see below)
8. Are you a proud supporter of the U.S. military?
9. Can you fix just about anything with duct tape?
10. Did you think “duct” tape in question 9 should have been “duck” tape?

I am proud to be an American and affirm that the United States of America is one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I embrace the historical heritage of the Redneck. This heritage includes men wearing red scarves around their necks while escaping religious persecution in Scotland centuries ago. It includes farmers whose hard work in the sun-drenched fields of this nation’s breadbasket burned their necks crimson red while keeping Americans fed. As a Redneck, I work hard and I play hard. As a Redneck, I am able to laugh at myself. In short, as an American Redneck, I have a sense of country and a sense of humor.

I have proudly considered myself a redneck for many years.  However, if my true feelings regarding NASCAR and country music (not bluegrass)  are ever divulged, I fear my membership may be revoked.  Realistically, how many times can you watch a car go around a giant circle / oval while listening to music that revolves around a central theme of  your significant other leaving you, in your pickup truck, and taking or running over your dog, before you appear to have been lobotomized?

Decades longer than you can listen to the kind of crap that the pants-around-the-knees-crowd considers music.

I definitely agree with you on that one.  I don't hate country music, unlike crap, I mean (c)rap, but newer country seems to be pop with a southern accent.  My personal taste goes more along the lines of classic rock, blues, and bluegrass / newgrass.

2. Are you a fan of NASCAR?   No. I wlil watch a news clip of a huge crash though, severed flying heads preferred.
3. Do you own a pickup truck?   Yes. And, of course it's 4 wheel drive.   
4. Are you a gun-owner?   Yes!
5. Do you like country music?   Very, very little. I listen to country right up until I find the change station button.  About 2 seconds.
6. Do you laugh at and identify with “you might be a redneck” jokes?   Yes. But I find the 'you might be a muslim' jokes more funny.
7. Do you agree with the creed of the American Redneck Society? (see below)   Yes.
8. Are you a proud supporter of the U.S. military?   Yes.
9. Can you fix just about anything with duct tape?   Yes.

7 out of 10 isn't bad. Not sure what the cutoff is.

If I can claim the NASCAR prior to 1995, and true Southern Rock and Country - once again a culture that popularity is killing, I am all in!

What this world needs is a few more rednecks
Some people ain't afraid to take a stand
What this world needs is a little more respect
For the Lord and the law and the workin' man
We could use a little peace and satisfaction
Some good people up front to take the lead
A little less talk and a little more action
And a few more rednecks is what we need

I was raised on beans and cornbread
And I like my chicken fried
Yes, I drive a pickup truck
And I'm full of American pride
I keep a Bible on my table
I got a flag out on my lawn
And I don't believe in mindin'
No one's business but my own

And I love them Rambo movies
I think they make a lot of sense
And it's a shame ole John Wayne
Didn't live to run for president

[And I'm a catfish connoisseur
And I love the Lynyrd Skynyrd band
And I'm crazy about the NFL
And I'm a diehard NASCAR Fan]


And I don't care what nobody says
I don't trust ole Gorbachev
And I don't know who turned him on
But it's time to turn him off

(Chorus)

Now they're tryin' to take my guns away
And that would be just fine
If you take ‘em away from the criminals first
I'll gladly give ya mine
And I don't mind payin' taxes
But it makes my temper itch
When my hard earned money goes
To make some politician rich

What most people call a redneck
Ain't nothin' but a workin' man
And he makes his livin'
By the sweat of his brow
And the calluses on his hands
Now you intellectuals may not like it
But there ain't nothin' that you can do
Cause there's a whole lot more of us common-folks
Then there ever will be of you

(Chorus)

That's what we need
And a few more rednecks is what we need
