Well, you'd be hard pressed to convince my neighbors that "redneck" is a bad term... Half of them have bigass "Redneck" decals in the back windows of their cars and trucks...

Don't know no black folks with "Nigger" decals in the back of theirs...

As for political parties??? They have shifted ideologies over time... The last major shift was when the Democrats and Lyndon Johnson purdy much told the South to "Fu*k off" in passing the Civil Rights Act...

There's also another difference between the terms "redneck" and "nigger" in that "redneck" is not used exclusively to mean anyone who is white while "nigger" is used exclusively by some to mean everyone who is black...
