I disagree with the spelling of "dere" it should be "der", no silent e. itS doesnt have a capital s at the end. it should be " it s", that how my mama taught me.

Now I'm thoroughly confused! I read comments about WASP profile, "rednecks everywhere", etc

According to city-data, 52% of goldsboro is black! Not only is this an extreme number for a rural community (a la Jackson Michigan, etc) - but it doesn't fit with the 'rednecks rule' theme in many comments. Sounds to me like a medium size, depressed, mostly black community. Is this black majority considered "rednecks"? Are these numbers misleading? Please help me to understand. . .thanks! :-)

that 52% is closed mostly within the city limits in one area and keep to themselves, They even have their own high school. When u speak of the greater goldsboro area, and include New Hope, Belfast and other outlying communities it skews differently.

Perhaps he means Goldsboro High School.

Looking at the NCSchoolreportcard site, NO white children took end of course exams last year.

Look like the NAACP has turned their eye towards the Wayne County School System.
