Redneck Definition
by Morganne Kerr
Living in Newville, you look around and see mostly all country kids. There are some kids that are from the city, or as most people say, the ghetto. But a normal person for you to see in Newville is someone wearing boots, jeans, flannel shirts, and they usually smell like the farm, or they have animal waste on their boots from working on the farm. Everyone classifies these people as REDNECKS, but they really are only people just like everyone else. Most people think that when they call someone a name/word that the word has only one meaning to it, but the word can mean multiple things, and they can have negative or positive connotations. Rednecks can mean working-class white people, uneducated white farm laborers, rural poor white people, and kids that are named from being known as the country kids.
Redneck means working-class white people. In the redneck group, there are ones who work for everything they own, but then you have the ones who have mommy and daddy buy everything for them, and the kids have to work on the farm. Everybody else, not including the rednecks, can usually deal with the rednecks that work for everything. When there are the rednecks that their mommy and daddy buys them everything, people find them to be rude and stuck up. They are known to be all about themselves, and like to show off. For example, the boys who get the big jacked up trucks and they never put a dime into it. Ones who actually work for what they own, more people tend to like them and are able to talk with them. Rednecks who work for their possessions, their jobs are one the farm, working with animals, or basically something that has to do with using your hands. Some people think that the rednecks are lazy, and all they do is hunt, fish, eat, and sleep, but there are the ones who follow that the definition of working - class white people.
Rednecks also can be defined as uneducated white farm laborer. Truly Rednecks are not always dumb. The rednecks just have to apply themselves to the class that they always don’t do their very best in. Rednecks are usually best at things like votech or classes that allow them to use their hands. We are not stupid, but we are just not best at other subjects that they are not going to use on the farm on a daily bases. The classes that they don’t use everyday they just don’t tend to pay attention or don’t care how well they do. Most rednecks I go to school have the intelligence and brains to do very well in school, but they feel if they are not going to use the information learned that they truly won’t care what goes on.
Rednecks are known as rural poor white people. Redneck family usually are living off the income that comes from the farm and maybe the little money the kids earn if they have a job. Maybe even the mom doesn’t work on the farm, but she has a part time job so she can do paperwork for the farm, so everything stays in line. Living off of one income can not always be the easiest thing, but most families can get through because of there kids getting/being older and having there own job. The worst situation is when it is a one income family with six kids, and all of their money comes from what is made from the farm. Knowing how to deal with the money situation, most families are able to get through everything. Being known as the rural poor person does not always have to be true, but it does not have to be known.
Redneck can also just be the name of the fraction. People tend to put negative and positive connotation on the word redneck. To the ones who love animals think that rednecks are bad because they go hunting, but what they do not realize is that if there is no hunting then the deer population can continue to increase and take over. Environmental geeks think that when the rednecks have the big trucks that blow black smoke or as the rednecks say “roll coal”, they think that it is populating the air, but the rednecks only have the truck because they think it is cool. The prim and proper think that the rednecks are just rude and gross because they feel that the animals are gross because they poop, but everyone poops. Or that when they come to school covered in grease from their truck or car that they can at least get a shower, but at least the work to help their family or just to have something running for them to drive in a bad thing. Rednecks can be given as a negative or positive connotation.
Everyone hears the word redneck and think gross, disrespectful, uneducated white people, but truly we are just like everyone else. We sleep, eat, and use the bathroom the same way. We just have different things we enjoy doing or find interesting to them. Some rednecks work for the things they own, but others may not. At the end of the day, we are all human beings. Rednecks can be defined as working - class white people, uneducated white farm laborer, rural poor white people, and a negative or positive connotation to a word.
