Redneck is not always synonymous with Southern. We all know that. I know, but it also cheapens the argument those people always try to make that it's about their heritage. Not that they ever cared about logical consistency in the first place. I do think it is about their heritage. I know of no one without Southern ties who would fly a Confederate flag.
So I'm a bit skeptical that anybody besides Southerners or white people whose families came from the South are flying Confederate flags. There are plenty of "rednecks" in states like Nebraska or Montana, who have open disdain for the South, and would never fly a Confederate flag.
So these yokels in Pennsylvania who fly Confederate flags are probably the prodigy of the great migration of Southerners to the North and West which began during the Great Depression.
El Schwarz also referred to West Virginia as "redneck". We all know West Virginia split from Virginia during the Civil War to reject the Confederacy and support the Union. The Confederate flag is anathema to all West Virginian "rednecks".
Just sayin'.
