Actually started in West Virginia coal country. Strikers marched for the right to unionize and wore red scarfs around their necks and were called red necks. That devolved into a shooting war. Today usually means crass or unsophisticated. Some consider an insult which it is usually meant to be. Others consider a compliment. Depends who calls you a redneck.

Very likely. But the miners in WV don’t think of themselves as Yankees. Mine owners probably were. Look up battle of Blair Mountain. Had to call in the NG. Do you self-identify as a redneck?

A buddy sold a lab puppy to a guy from Andrews. When he saw him a couple of years later, he asked how the dog was working out. Andrews guy puffs up and says "Damn fine, damn fine. Whup any dog at th' landin". That's a redneck.

I was driving through south Georgia several years ago and saw a hunter who was black get out of a little jacked up Toyota pickup with a dog box and a front license plate that said "Blackneck".
