Redneck originally referred to the sunburned red necks of farmers from working in the fields. (1893)

Rednecks was the name given to certain political factions inside the Democratic Party comprised of poor white farmers.  They were also known as "wool hat boys" (poor folks wore
woolen hats; rich folks had silk hats).  (1900)

Redneck is an historically derogatory slang term for poor, uneducated white farmers, particularly from the southern United States.  It is similar in meaning to "cracker" (Georgia and Alabama),  "hillbilly"  (Appalachia and Ozarks),  "white trash" (w/o the suggestion of immorality, though).

In recent times, it has expanded to include bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways and has often been used to attack Southern conservatives and racists.  At the same time, some Southern whites (Caucasians) have reclaimed the word, using it with pride and defiance as a self-identifier.

Anyway you look at it, it's an offensive slang. But Jeff Foxworthy and others have made bundles of cash making us laugh at them!  Just sayin'
