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.

^Since the judicial system is biased, the number of people in state corrections would not be an accurate representation of reality.

"you're right, the whole fact that there is a culture rejoicing in this kind of behavior is just a coincedence, btw why don't you take a walk through the wrong side of durham at night and then tell me how crime is only the result of bias,
9/25/2008 11:03:21 PM
^ it's not a coincidence, it's a result of past history, see graph at top of page 3. The point is though that racism (ie hatred based on race) doesn't help fix the problems in anyway.
9/25/2008 11:07:06 PM
eh I see the point you are trying to make but what you are saying is racism made blacks poor (which is true to some extent) but I haven't seen similar criminal statistics between other poor groups nor a culture based on it (rap music for instance)[Edited on September 25, 2008 at 11:17 PM.

rap music is no more based on crime than hollywood or almost any other mainstream entertainment medium.

^^ not necessarilyif 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:http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Prison_System/Race_Prison_Poverty.html

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.

The war on drugs didn't target black people or poor people. It targeted crackheads and their enablers. I'm sure someone is going to point out the demographics of crackheads, but it really doesn't matter. THEY'RE FUCKING CRACKHEADS.[Edited on September 26, 2008 at 8:44 AM. Reason : l]

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
9/26/2008 8:46:47 AM
I never would have associated the word "Heritage" with white power KKK until Bridget said it.

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.

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?

Has anyone reported what was done to provoke this? or are they just playing it as a random beating?
9/27/2008 11:23:06 AM
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.
