text: which state has the biggest rednecks? biggest hillbillies? there are rednecks everywhere, i know.  people give al, ms, la, tx, ga, fl, tn, sc, nc, and wv a bad rap.  they give arkansas a horrible rep!  but, i'm not so sure any of those are as bad as kentucky (especially east of shelbyville and bardstown) and southern illinois.  people still walk around barefooted in wal-mart and in the park on any given day in kentucky. biggest rednecks - mississippi biggest hillbillies - kentucky  but they are everywhere.
