You might be a redneck if...

You know Foxworthy got all this "you might be a redneck if" stuff going. I humbly submit that Foxworthy is a city boy (Atlanta) and wouldn't know a real redneck if one bit him on the ass. My cousin Bubba could take him down the country to a crossroads where they name their children after their pickup trucks and bassboats. I could take him myself but I'm not accepted there on account of I'm too educated and citified and I drive a GMC and not a Ford. Yes we still have some real reds in NC.
Best,
Harry

I humbly submit that "redneck" and "country boy" are not the same, though a lot of people are both.

I know that "redneck" means a yokel who has a sun burnt neck he got from doing field work but most people now include people who do, or have done, manual labor, have a pretty conservative view of the way he thinks the world should be, and eats things that he has either grown himself and/or killed himself. Most spent at least a few years of adult life without much advanced education (may have gone to school later though). Rednecks are not shy with their conservative opinions and are more likely than the average person to have served the country.

Believe me, there are a lot of city boys who I consider to be rednecks. Most are very good people even though their "parts car" is parked on the grass and not on concrete.
