I'd have to say that, up here, the term "Redneck" is pretty much a insulting term applied to people that are ignorant, racist, violent, and trash. It is pretty much inter-changable with "Hill Billy" or "White Trash".. although "White Trash" usually only applies to urban dwellers.

I have to agree with this. "Redneck" "Hillbilly", "Whitetrash" are all used inter-changably as derrogatory terms.

I think that they shouldn't be used at all. Even if one is trying "to take back the word", it is still seen as a derrogatory term. Same with Trailer Park Trash (TPT).
