Okay, lets get something straight, theres a difference between a REDNECK and WHITE TRASH. White Trash are people who... 1. are racist bigots who think acting intolerant and obnoxious makes them look good but doesnt 2. live in trailer parks with a rusty ass truck or old car 3. are general assholes who bang their cousins and are hated by most of the public Rednecks and/or hicks and/or Good Ol' Boys are... 1. Generally kind, good people who just enjoy the little things in life which money cant give them(family, friends, etc.) 2. Like to work hard for what they have but are also known to play even harder than they work. 3. Live in a rural area NOT because they dont like the city but because they love the outdoors and the peace that comes with being out away from all the hustle and confusion of a big city. 4. Someone who is definitely not afraid to fight and stand up for what he believes in(especially if it envolves a woman) but at the same time knows how to treat people right. Generally, they are compassionate, good-natured, hardworking, fun-loving people who just want to do what they want and dont mind working to get what they want. Urban Dictionary
