Hard to explain. I can give you the webster definition. Or the common perception.  Or a couple of other things to think about. Won't bore you with my definition, truth, honor, justice, etc, nah, don't fit me 
This kinda fits though, and yes I stole it 
We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of. I hope I am one of those. If you feel the same, pass this on to your redneck friends. Ya'll know who ya' are... You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God." You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places. You might be a redneck if: You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival." You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays. You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem. You might be a redneck if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have. You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an American flag. You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening. You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same. You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend. God Bless the USA
Take it or leave it, you really don't want to hear my down home redneck sayings 
So be careful, you may be among rednecks where ever you are. Count yourself lucky at that time.

A Redneck in South Africa is a born and bred Englishman. SA used to be a British Colony, so it was used as a derogatory term to describe the English in the Boer War.

What people expect of a "Redneck"
A redneck is a stereotypical southern United States socially conservative, rural, working class white person with sunburned skin and northern European ancestry. The stereotypical redneck is a male, has a beer belly, consumes cheap American beer such as Budweiser or Miller by the case (Pabst Blue Ribbon in more traditional settings) as well as Jack Daniel's, and holds deeply conservative political views. Stereotypically they are homophobic, racist and distrustful of "city slickers". The stereotypical redneck also lives in a trailer, drives a large pickup truck with a Confederate Navy Jack flag decal and a gun rack in the rear window, has a stained sleeveless t-shirt, a trucker hat or baseball cap with long sideburns. Their favorite activities include hunting, professional wrestling, NASCAR, monster truck rallies, and car engine repair. Country and Southern Rock bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and other classic rock groups from the 1970s are their preferred genre of music.
What you expect ain't always what you get! But I damn sure like my truck and southern rock bands.

I think I might be a redneck, too. The only exception is that I believe firmly in reproductive rights and family planning - that's pretty leftist.
Everything else fits. Can I belong?

My bumper stickers:
One, black and white, that says very plainly, "Don't Be A Dick."
The other has a happy face with a rueful smile, dabbing his mouth with a napkin, and it says, "God was my copilot but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him."
I guess I'm a redneck. (I watch boxing instead of Nascar, though....) LOL

I know I am a redneck! I have always been proud of it.
You forgot one.
Rednecks stop their cars on the side of the road for a funeral pursession going by!
We had a real good motor cycle cop when dad died he made people stop. I thought he was going to get killed he went into the other lane stopping people. The cop was a redneck through and through!

Jimbo,
I've been thinkin' on this since you posted it.
As a Redneck myself.....I already know Webster's definition..and the common perception. You and I know that both the definition and the perception is way outdated.
You say you won't bore us with your definition.....you say it doesn't fit you.
Truth....Honor....Justice
As I read the writing below your statement...all of those things are there. This fits you to a T.
As Redneck's....we hold our upbringing close to our hearts...we love "home" and all that that entails. We love our Country...Flag...and God.
We know that the Confederate Flag stands for heritage.....and not hatred, as some folks think.
"One nation under God" is the truth, whether others believe it or not.
The National Anthem still, after all these years, pulls at our heart strings.
As Redneck's, we are smart enough to know that there are many others who think and feel as we do. Doesn't mean they're Rednecks......but it does prove that the public perception of Redneck's may be just a tad bit shaded.
I'm Southern Proud.....and Redneck.....and I'll walk the mile with you anyday.....anytime.
Matter of fact....I have a "Come and Take It" flag..might just hoist it on up the flag pole.
Much love to you, Jimbo...you're a "keeper" 
Jean
