Members JoshuaLogan Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 I just sold a pair of JBL EON15 G2 powered speakers on ebay, and looked at the sold confirmation email and saw the buyer's address.... The street name is White's Crossing Plaza, and the city is Whiteville, North Carolina. I googled it to make sure it was real... and yup... it is. I wasn't aware such racist addresses exist. lol :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JesperX Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Was probably named after someone. There's a road up near Sequim, WA called Kitchen-Dick road which intersects with Dickinson and Petersville. I can't come up with any other explanation unless the people who named the streets were 13.

Members Rob Sharer Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Once, on a drive from Ireland thru Wales (yes, a marine vessel was involved) and thence on to deepest darkest Lincolnshire, I passed in (relatively) rapid succession the following towns: Kilcock Stillorgan Penistone Maybe that last one's the secret to Tom Jones' sound!

Members telephant Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Why is that racist? Is it racist to say something is white? Its not neccessarily racist now, but it would not suprise me (considering its North Carolina) that the town itself was named by a bunch of slave owning racist rednecks. I mean come the {censored} on, "Whiteville?" Sure, it could be named after someone with the last name "White," but for some reason I highly doubt it.

Members A_Gitarman Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 That's nothing. The town I grew up in used to have a 'Lynching Tree Drive'. The road has been renamed, but the tree is still there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
