FAQ's



Who started this site?

This site was started by a group of friends who are tired of the stereotypes and decided it was time to celebrate all the positive things about being a Redneck. We wanted this site to be a meeting place for a community of people who identify themselves as Rednecks. Our desire is that this site becomes a center point of the movement, a place of historical knowledge and a venue for discussion and empowerment. All purchases help support this site and the promotion of Redneck heritage.


What is a Redneck?

Generally, a Redneck was thought to be a rural person of a low-socioeconomic class who typically was from the South. That is no longer the hard-line rule. Being a Redneck is not just defined by where you are geographically located but by values, beliefs and attitude.

The Northwest logger, the Nebraskan corn farmers, the Alaskan fishermen, and the Michigan truck driver all fit the type. We have diversity within the Redneck community. The rancher in Wyoming, the miner in Kentucky, the factory worker in Alabama or the blue-grass fiddler in North Carolina all enrich our community with a variety of talents and viewpoints.

Rednecks are men and women who are the hardworking breadwinners of American families. Rednecks are not afraid or ashamed of being cultural rebels in an era of passive, suburban homogenization. We work hard, play hard and cherish our heritage.


Why do Rednecks need to be saved?

Rednecks seem to be the only cultural group in America that can be openly humiliated by ethnic satire without consequence. Cultural etiquette states that it is highly offensive to ridicule or make derogatory jokes about an ethnic group that you do no belong to. Most of the time those who are bashing Rednecks are not Rednecks. Save the Redneck is in alignment with the ideology of cultural preservation. We are proud of our culture and do not want to see it stereotyped or attacked. We are striving to bring awareness to, and change, this unacceptable behavior.


Doesn’t the term Redneck have bad connotations associated with it?

Unfortunately, it does. The fact is that the negative connotations associated with the term Redneck come from people who are not Rednecks. Rednecks are a true cultural group with a real history. (See Redneck History.) However, very few people know about this, and we want to change this reality.

Every culture, at one time or another, has had negative stereotypes forced upon it. We are no different. But those stereotypes are not who we are as a community and not what real Rednecks espouse in our everyday lives.

Save the Redneck is about being truthful and real. Redneck culture has it challenges with poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, racism and violence. These are real problems that any culture with an oppressive history has to deal with when it is trying to empower itself. We are not blind to the issues, and we refuse to be stereotyped by them.

This site is a celebration of all the positive aspects of being Redneck. Be clear that we are about our stated values and reject anything, whether inside our community or outside, that is not positive or respectful to any human being.

Be sure to note that this site is not affiliated with any particular religion, race, political party or particular area of the country. We are simply a group up people with similar values who really love our heritage and lifestyle.
