Ah, no it does not. 


>From Wiki:


Redneck, in modern usage, predominantly refers to a particular stereotype
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype>  of white people
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people>  who may be found in many
regions of the United States <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States> .
Originally limited to the Appalachians
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachians> , and later the Ozarks
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozarks>  and Rocky Mountains
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountains> , this stereotype is now
widespread in northern states. The word can be used either as a pejorative
or as a matter of pride <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride> . The blunt
definition of the stereotype describes one who lives in a rural American
area, is poor, and sometimes would own a pickup truck and would have an
apparel of a cowboy and a southern accent.[1]

You see it's *some* white people; not all so it's not about an entire race
of folks.

I was telling a friend of mine up here about my and Wendy's little
conversation and about the "scratching just below the surface..." and he
guffawed.  You see, he's a redneck.  But he also graduated cum laude from
Birmingham Southern with a degree in accounting and finance.

BTW, he howled when I told him about a line I heard in movie in which a wife
says to her husband "If you do that one more time, I'm gonna slap the red
right off your neck."

	"Ah but Wendy, you can just barely scratch the surface on 'em here
and you
	still get redneck! --Jim"
	
	Jer: Ah, but Jim, ..and in the course of human events/frailties
(this time,
	we'll discuss being politically correct via the Liberals):
	
	If one cannot say the N-word, then certainly, the same has to apply
to the
	R-Word because it involves sensitivity to a race of individuals. 
	
	..
	
	A little bit of political humor goes a long way, but at times highly
	illustrates what the future encompasses.
