Redneck is a compliment, white trash an insult, not sure about hillbilly
Redneck was not a compliment when I was growing up. It meant you were uneducated and had to make do with manual labor.
Somewhere in the 1980s, probably right around when Smokey and the Bandit came along, it became a cooler term. City folks even started liking country music. Nashville became as cool as New York.
All very strange. Coastal liberals misappropriated the poor white man's culture for profit.

Your perception on human beings and their value is what shaped this, people without formal education that perform manual labor are the backbone of this nation. Your life and all our lives would fall apart without them.
I have an education, I make good money and I am “successful” but to many people from other regions and some in this one.. I’ll always be a redneck..my family background, accent, and experiences ensure that and I’m proud of all of them.
