What's the difference between a "Good ole boy" and a "redneck"?
I wasn't sure if I should put this under Linguistics or jokes.

"Good ole boy" is a term used to refer to a member of the presiding establishment of a town or community. While a "redneck" is considered to be someone poor and uneducated.

★Stevo the sergeant once explained to use they are good ole boys unless you want a smack in the mouth like that carpet bagger is going to get.. I meet them in Darwin on R&R , I was wearing a Dukes T shirt ,he called use all rednecks -
Jenny The Great ⭐ Anybody in the US who does good can be called a good ole boy. Now, The Dukes of Hazzard on the television series have a Confederate flag on the roof of their 1969 Dodge Charger called the General Lee. Bo and Luke are good ole boys, (good guys), no doubt about it. But is the Confederate flag that supported slavery and Jim Crow laws a symbol of good in America - the land of the free??? As you see, this is what separates the good guys from the bad guys. You obviously can't call a racist redneck who is full of hate a good ole boy. It contradicts the nature of good. -

Jenny The Great ⭐ Exactly. That's why the North defeated the South in the American Civil War: https://youtu.be/09m4X5FG5vc?si=iD9oqdZcb_CpXlIu

Jenny The Great ⭐ It could have been worse if the South won the war. At least slavery and segregation that continued in the Southern states ended. Watch Mississippi Burning (1988): https://youtu.be/SUtlJwfNEtI?si=qXbLgmywTpr_AAZe
