Stop cultivating the Liberal double standard and see the word for the racial slur that it is.
Boy that freakin' white-hatin' Jeff Foxworthy! He's keepin' the white man down by talking about his own redneck culture.
I don't get where you equate it to the n-word. It's primarily used by white people about white people. Honkey or Cracker is the equivalent term (i.e. used by non-whites against whites).
Redneck is used more frequently by people CLAIMING to be one than I see it as an insult. It can be used as an insult, yes. It's a classist term, though. Not racist.
Please stop trying to play the "white victim" and simply point out that it's bad manners to insult others. But until you can get Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy to stop using the term, you're going to have a hard time convincing ANYONE that it's a racist term. Mainly - because it isn't.
