Why is BridgetSPK stuck on the school name thing? It has nothing to do with this situation and it doesn't matter AT ALL. It's a fucking school name, who cares?! It isn't supposed to satisfy everyone, it's just a god damned name dude!

First of all this had nothing to do with forced bussing. At least 2 of the kids live 4-5 miles away from Wakefield...according to the addresses provided on the WRAL articles. Secondly, the victim was half white...half asian...per the interview the parents did on WRAL. Not that it really matters though.

I don't remember ever saying I was black. People on here thought I was black for a little while. And I remember saying that I used to tell other people (in person) that I was black to see if I could convince them. It was kind of fun. And I think I just met some sort of weekly limit for saying the word "black."

^^^^But the name is Heritage. You know, as in "I LOVE MY CONFEDERATE FLAG! HERITAGE, NOT HATE!"

And naming the schools after a road makes sense to me. It identifies the location of the school. I'm sure there's a road called Wakefield and Heritage near these schools, but they came with the neighborhood, not before the neighborhood.

I realize I'm alone here, but I think the names we pick for our schools are very important. And it's not just what the kids think...the thoughts of parents and taxpayers and business owners contribute to the atmosphere of the school, as well.

^^^Why do you care that I care so much about the name of the school?

I pretty much jump at the chance to bring this issue up because I think school naming practices are really unfair. And I believe there's quite a bit of politics being done around the issue--unchecked developers are both in cahoots and at odds with the WCPSS. Every little decision is worth scrutinizing, even the names (which I still think is huge).

Attributing the problems to culture, and attributing them to skin color are on opposite ends of the spectrum, which one is it?

In any case...


Something happened in the 80s that skyrocketed the black incarceration rate. This something is very likely the war on drugs, which actually targeted blacks (crack vs. powder cocaine-- and this actually targeted the poor but blacks are disproportionately poor), among other issues with the war on drugs. Couple this with the studies that show incarceration itself is a positive feedback loop for MORE incarceration, and there's a clear reason why it seems blacks in the US have a problem with crime, that doesn't have to do with skin color. You can even look at the oppressed blacks in India, and it seems due to their cultural history, they actually face a higher victimization level than other groups (I couldn't find statistics on their perpetration rate of crimes).

So if you boil it down to culture, where did black American culture come from? It wasn't Africa, because black Americans are substantially different culturally than black Africans.

^^ not necessarily

if you believe that kids who grow up in bad families are more likely to commit crimes, having parents jailed at a higher rate certainly has a net effect on a group, increasing their chances of committing more crimes.

If you actually care about the reality of the issues, this has a lot of good background information:

Roads are different than neighborhoods. To me, there's an obvious distinction.

Yes. Obviously, I wouldn't support changing the name of a school that's been around for a long time. But, in the future, we should not name schools after neighborhoods.

And I want to reemphasize that my concern with this issue revolves around the relationship between developers and our representatives.

I can't help it that I'm more aware and more sensitive to this shit than you. We all know the connotations of the word, "heritage." And it doesn't have to be white people with confederate flags. I busted that out because you didn't seem to be understanding me. It could mean all-black. Either way, it's fucked up to name a school after a word with those connotations even if they meant to conjure up something like the "rich educational tradition of North Carolina."

The American Heritage dictionary - racist as fuck.

Bridget, the more I see you post the more I wish you'd just stop. Sometimes I wonder if you even live in the same world as I do Sometimes I think that you'd argue that the sky is actually green if it suited your purpose. Your view of reality is so skewed by your own biases that you can't see past them for even a moment, meanwhile you incessantly berate others for their biases. Rather than admit the possibility that you're wrong you frequently delude yourself or become intentionally obtuse in order to avoid any self examination. Frankly, you're probably the most intellectually dishonest person I've ever had the displeasure of "meeting" on the internet.

I don't think that we should be adding another word to that lexicon of "Offensive Words that you're never allowed to use because certain people will twist it to imply racism"

Heritage is a word....just a word.....until someone starts defining a group with that word (i.e. Whites describing slaves as "niggardly"; SPK lumping Southern whites in with the KKK and "heritage") just leave it be. There is no implied message, no secret society behind the naming of schools.

Its worse to attend a school with a directional name.....its harder to get behind a school that is named just like 20 others

We shouldn't all have to tip toe around and keep removing words from our vocabulary so that thugs wont beat up our children. It has NOTHING to do with the school name and the word heritage has nothing to do with the confederate flag. Heritage can refer to ANY fucking heritage, it doesn't mean "confederate flag." Anybody that thinks that is just looking for something to get mad about.

Have you ever noticed that only white people have to get rid of these words? I'm sure you think that black people should still be "allowed" to use the word heritage.

Leesville is a township of Raleigh. It's got a whole lot of neighborhoods in it. Wakefield is one, single neighborhood. And I get it...you don't see a problem with naming a public school that's going to feed from all over Wake County and have lots of kids from lots of different neighborhoods after one, single neighborhood. I do. And, despite pretty much everyone telling me I'm wrong, I'm not going to change my mind. Names are powerful. They matter.

"Kurtis636: The American Heritage dictionary - racist as fuck."


I'm not suggesting that the word, "heritage," is automatically racist. It's got a lot of different connotations. But when you see a neighborhood or a golf course or a political organization with the word "heritage" in its name, you should think twice about what images and thoughts they're trying to evoke.

I'm afraid you've got a case of "crack hysteria." A lot of people had it in the 80's. They made up all these stories about thousands of crack babies and did specials about crack whores every other day on the nightly news. They also passed the most punitive laws this nation has seen in modern times.

It's funny though. Meth is just as detrimental to our communities as crack. Yet...no hysteria. I wonder if that has anything to do with that demographics stuff you mentioned? Hmmm...

I don't want to add "heritage" to a list of words people can't use. I just want people to acknowledge that it has certain connotations, that when a developer names a neighborhood Heritage, he or she picked that name for a reason.

I'm a Southern white, and I'm irrationally proud to be born and raised in North Carolina--I'm proud of my heritage. I would never lump myself in with the KKK. I haven't even mentioned the KKK. You guys gotta stop making things up.

No, because that would be admitting that words have meanings outside their denotations.

I'm friends with his older sister. For the record they're not jewish haha.

According to what I've heard, one of the guys hit DJ with a tennis ball for no reason. After he turned around to confront him he was jumped and knocked unconscious. Apparently when he was still out, they stomped on his head and continued kicking him on the ground. They will be tried as adults. I've met DJ's dad and I would not want to fuck with that guy. They will pay one way or the other.

I believe the school's name does affect the atmosphere of the school, and the atmosphere does affect the students' behavior. It's not an excuse or a justification for brutallly beating people, you're correct.

The word, "heritage," does connote the confederate flag to some people. That doesn't mean it should never be used, but we should acknowledge that it's a powerful word.

"SaabTurbo: Heritage can refer to ANY fucking heritage, it doesn't mean "confederate flag." Anybody that thinks that is just looking for something to get mad about."


Of course, heritage can refer to any heritage. To some people, their heritage includes the confederate flag. I used to own a confederate flag beach towel, for example. The reds ran into the whites when I washed it so it was all pink and shit.

I don't think any public school should be named after a neighborhood, affluent or otherwise. I've already said that. I also said that I wouldn't support going back in time and changing school names. And, once again, I also already said that the rhetoric about luxury cars is really old. There's nothing wrong with having money.

I've also got a long history in NC. I'm 14th generation. An extensive examination of our family tree has revealed a total of one ancestor who might have had enough money to own a another human being. I'm not sure how any of that really matters in this discussion.

I also find it amusing that you won't admit that the word, "heritage," has certain connotations when it apparently just inspired you to foam at the mouth about reparations and nobody even mentioned that topic.

Sorry Bridget. It's not crack hysteria from watching the news. It's crack hatering as a result of seeing the effects first hand.

I agree that meth is just as hard on the body (if not worse), but I don't know that the impact to our communities is the same. Maybe it's the result of meth being a rural drug that people just don't pay as much attention, but I highly suspect that meth has not done anywhere near the amount of damage that crack was doing in the 80's. A lot of urban areas declined so much when crack hit that they provided barely better living conditions than those afforded to people in 3rd world countries. That is visible. That is something you can plaster on the news and get people's attention. The US Government had a responsibility to do something. Right or wrong, the war on drugs was their answer.

Meth is entirely different just because of the nature of production. The government can make ephedrine/pseudoephedrine more difficult to purchase in quantity. They didn't have that option with crack. Cocaine was already illegal and putting a ban on baking soda was not an option.

It will be interesting to see how it changes now that less meth is being produced at home and more is being produced by criminal cartels in Mexico. I have a feeling it will still be treated more like cocaine than crack as long as it's usage does not have another sharp spike in popularity.

I know sentencing for crack is much stricter than cocaine, but to be honest I have no idea how sentencing for meth is done. I have a feeling sentencing for meth production/trafficking is very harsh. Are you telling me that sentencing is less strict with meth than it is with crack? If so, what is your source?

Bridget, you need to shut the fuck up. I graduated from Wake Forest-Rolesville High School and attended there right during the time Wake Forest began blowing up and Heritage was nothing but a construction yard. In the many years I was there, as the Heritage schools were constructed and it became a full fledged neighborhood, I never - NOT EVEN ONCE - heard somebody bitching about something so trivial as the connotations of the word "Heritage". The thought had never even crossed my mind, or anybody else's mind from that area that I knew of, until you came up in this thread spewing your bullshit in all directions.

The fact that you think naming a school after a neighborhood is a catalyst for all these supposed negative effects is an incredibly stupid and incredulous thought to me. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Of course the racism arrived. Have you seen the pictures of the criminals that did this? Must be nice to be so naive to think those three guys wouldn't all commit felonies at some point in their lives.

I have come to the conclusion that all card carrying liberal democrats are in reality enablers to the plight within which the black community experiences. With their coddling and safety economic hammock they have given the room for minorities to be like "yeah its the white establishment holding us down" or whenever they get in trouble it is "racism in the judicial system after a brother". This is not 1956; I think most people in today of more of a problem with a particular person's mindset versus arbitrary skin color.

Has anyone reported what was done to provoke this? or are they just playing it as a random beating?

I could see the name Heritage being a problem depending on how it got the name . But if you just pulled the name out of a bag, I can't see how anyone would care.
