Fukking pathetic.
Oh wait...I get it...as long as the negro performs....like a comedian...or dancer...or whatever...entertains whitey with wins....it's all cool.
Thank God Charlie Strong might even get the job. WTF
WELL.....lesssee here...
*I was born and raised here....and have lived all over Texas.....schools were segregated until I was in the 5th grade...I still recall separate water fountains and restrooms....in many small towns black people STILL live on one side of the 'tracks'...whites on the other..........
YOU seem to be quite an expert on racism and the South....how long have you lived here? ............................just curious.........
Didn't say that EVERYBODY was racist.....just that he will be 'viewed' differently....let's say .....by many...because he's not white.....and that MANY folks here will have a big problem that he has a white wife.................not everybodyPS *the Klan is still active here in many small towns....
*in 1993....the Feds tried to integrate Vidor (by Beaumont)
within a few weeks the Klan had run them out ...burning
crosses in their yard / death threats........
*as late as 1997 there were still signs up saying....'DON'T
LET THE SUN SET ON YOUR BLACK AZZ"......
{sorry if this offends your fragile white sensibilities}.....
It's a generational thing.....
*young folks that grew up in larger cities such as Austin or Dallas I'm sure don't think much of it....40ish maybe a few 'N' jokes here and there....like the text I got (from a big Horn booster) .....a chicken with the body of a a watermelon + nice caption.........
*old /fat white guys....like many Horn big shots just so happen to be.....are another story.....MOST won't care if he can make them cash.... MANY...behind close doors.....(esp after a few losses)...will say "why did we have to hire that 'N'??.....a FEW....will be absolutely disgusted at his very presence........
*again....sorry if this is upsetting to you..................
That article BTW.....is of course ridiculous.....but does illustrate a VERY common attitude of those 60+.....that black folks are clearly inferior to whites....they can't put their finger on it.....and their parents never explained it....they just know it to be true somehow
*as a small child I was taught to not touch black people or drink after them....I might 'catch something'............
FORTUNATELY...I figured out at a young age this made no sense...........MANY do not....neither will their children.....or their children's children.......++++++
