So says Barbara Henderson at the religious Web site Prophezine. Here’s a partial list of what it means to be a redneck from her article:

• Redneck is really just a general term for a group of fine hardworking people. Generally speaking, rednecks have a tremendous sense of humor. They can take a joke, even when it is on them. That is one of the reasons the “You might be a redneck if …” jokes go over so well. Rednecks love to laugh. They know laughter is a strong medicine.
• Rednecks prefer to look at the world through laughter instead of through self pity.
• Rednecks do not live within the boundaries of perpetual victimhood.
• Rednecks are risk-takers, preferring to think outside the box of “socially acceptable behavior.”
  Rednecks have a very strong sense of right and wrong, based on the Biblical definitions of right and wrong.

I have a running list of my own thoughts in the entry “What Is An Enlightened Redneck?”

The category “Hatin’ On Rednecks” is another place to go for my reactions to redneck hate in America. It includes a recent rebuttal to an essay by Dallas Morning News writer Rod Dreher.
