Redneck was not a compliment when I was growing up. It meant you were uneducated and had to make do with manual labor.
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.

Not my perception. My family hails from the arse end of Texas where White Trash run wild. There were plenty of non-college educated folks that ran land, operated small businesses, and were all around stellar people.
There were also a very large number of trailer dwelling day laborers who spent their paychecks on Allsup's Burritos, menthol smokes, and Natty light and were generally dodging creditors, getting in fights, and rolling around town in ancient beater vehicles belching smoke.
Definitely a distinction.
