What makes a redneck a redneck? Living in the rural south? Just just living in rural areas in general? Poor? Owns a truck? Like to hunt & drink? I'm curious.

I used to kinda hate people I thought were "rednecks" too when I was growing up. I have spent the majority of my life in the city, and grew up entirely in the city. Then I had to move to rural Wyoming for two years on a work transfer.

I was surrounded by what most of y'all would consider "rednecks". While yes of course you'd come across your racist and completely ignorant "redneck", the majority of them I met were really great people believe it or not. The type of people that would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it. Regardless of color.

You're right that being "redneck" isn't a race but stereotyping large groups of people is never a good thing. Check out Anthony Bourdain, who traveled the world -- and was a self admitted elitist east coast liberal. He was very outspoken in the fact that some of the nicest people he met along his travels were rural, small town, "fly over country" people.

I'm just saying.

But anyway as far as the Aubrey incident, that father & son were in the wrong and need to go to prison. Even if Aubrey was burglarizing homes in the area (I'm not saying he did; I'm just saying for argument's sake) you pick up the phone and call the police and let them take it from there. You don't track down the individual, armed, incite a showdown and then subsequently gun that person down.

That is an example of a redneck but I think the overarching feeling when someone hunts down a black person with guns being a vigilante force for killging these "menaces to society" in their eyes without having any inforkation basingbit on fear and hate thats as redneck as it gets. I will say that also as I have grown I have been to places in the South and even though I strongly disagree with a lot of their values most those people are good people.

However right now I've been seeing a redneck mentality that stretches across the US even here in california. This is in the sense that a lot of folks are saying fuck science, calling covid19 a hoax, the liberals are devils, religious freedom is only great when it's Christian, it's infringing on their rights to wear a mask because they are worried about themselves, saying that all states should open even before they meet guidelines. And this is another point I get that people are rightly terrified of the economic and therefore human toll being truly heartbreaking. There's people all over that spent their whole adult lives building a life that's being wiped away and that makes me sick.

My Aunt and Uncle in the San Fran area are about to lose their house and both of their businesses and that's a fact. So do I understand where people are coming from? Yes. Do I think it justifies calling this a hoax?NO I think that is reprehensible. If you go online telling people this is all a hoax, or a hit job on trump,not maintain distance or wearing a Godammned mask, I still have no pity at all for them and it really is important bad disinfo. Disinformation in general is terrible for people's critical thinking but in a pandemic it could be a murderous call for the most vulernable people that don't deserve to get it because someone wanted to protest wearing masks and keeping their distance when we need it the most.
