In response to the Texas shootings of two burglars, Quannel X a Black Panther, went to Pasadena, TX to spread the “Black Power” message. It wasn’t received with open arms. In fact, the amount of locals outnumbered the protesters. Each time Quannel X would try to speak, the crowd responded by revving their motorcycles and chanting “USA! USA!”.

This should be more proof that the locals support their rights to protect themselves and their property.

I have no idea why Black Panther decided to start a rally there. He apparently wasn’t welcome.

A black man going to Texas to spread the Black Power gospel… what ever could go wrong with that scenario?

According to his Wikipedia page, he’s a muslim and a convicted drug dealer. Here’s a man who really knows how to win a crowd over.

…dumbass…

Anyone remember when the KKK tried to have a march through Harlem, and the city said they couldn’t be masked? Three guys showed up.

Yep, this is THAT kind of stupid.

Idiot.

You only get to take off your hood if you or an ancestor was at the official re-birth ceremony at Stone Mountain, Georgia.

“Thanksgiving 1915, Colonel William Joseph Simmons climbed Stone Mountain, Georgia, with 16 other Klansmen, to reanimate the Klan again with a cross lighting. The name of our order, since that glorious day, was known as the “Knights of the Ku Klux Klan”. This was the beginning of the Second Era of the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan was steadily growing by leaps and bounds. Simmons held the position of Imperial Wizard from 1915 until 1922.”

It’s not quite THAT stupid. Lots of black people live in Texas and especially in the cities, such as Houston. Race really isn’t any bigger an issue in Texas than it is anywhere else these days.

I saw more outward signs of racism in the Northeast and on the west coast during two week stays than I do in Texas.

What is stupid is that people are trying to say it’s wrong to defend oneself and neighbors, regardless of background.

I think the Texas stereotype is sometimes confused with the backwoods of Alabama, Arkansas and the West Virginia hillbillies.

I personally think that Texas is one of the last places on earth that has not given in to political correctness at the expense of personal liberty. Citizens are allowed more personal liberty in Texas even if that freedom is used in a destructive manner. This is true freedom, how it was meant to be.

Most all other States limit personal freedom to “protect” people from themselves.

So for the most part, Texas has citizens and other States have subjects.

And no, I don’t live in Texas.

Amen,texasguy…I never understood the Texas steroetype…Texas is too damn big for the stupid steroytpe that is portrayed by people outside of here.

Also, my 6 months in Boston was very interesting…my 3 months in Maine was even more horrible…but having a “Texas” accent/dialect on top of being black seemed to breed the ideas and treatment of being less intelligent…or as someone put it a “dumb nigger.” Just because I said “fuck Ben and Jerry’s…I want Blue Bell.”

I’m not sure where the Texas stereotype comes from either. It’s one of the most populated states in the nation and is home to two metro areas that are ranked in the top ten largest in the nation. Houston and Dallas have as much diversity as any city I’ve been to, as do Austin and San Antonio. Houston’s china town spans block upon block of street signs that aren’t even labeled in english, whites are a minority and the oil industry brings people from all over the world to the area.

My best friends growing up consisted of an Egyptian whose father was transferred for oil, about 6 white native texans, 2 blacks, one from Texas the other from Jamaica, and my high school girlfriend was from Singapore.

The only spots in Texas that really seem to resemble the backwoods stereotype are in deep east Texas, usually within a few miles of the arkansas or louisiana border.

And yeah, blue bell is way better than Ben and Jerry’s.

I had an internship in Pennsylvania a few summers ago and I found that my accent worked to my advantage. The internship focused on sales and the words I used, specifically ya’ll, seemed to provide enough curiosity to make most people an audience for my pitch.

It does now. But it used to be a real black market. You could go there and buy all sorts of rip offs or even stolen goods. I remember I wanted a pair of wire framed oakleys back in jr. high and a clerk told me to come back in an hour. I did and he had a pair. It was awesome. I also bought a rip off Tag Huer.

Once upon a time you could buy car stereos, lap tops, tv’s, watches that you had to go through a back room to see, cocaine, probably heroine, gun sales were rumored, scannable fake ID’s were $100, gang signs were painted all over the place and if you were anything but asian it wasn’t smart to be around after sunset.

The whole area was investigated and many stores were shut down. Harwin, the name of the area, was kind of popular though so a discount strip mall was set up.

Ah yes, Nevada. A place with legalized prostitution. Nevada is also a State of freedom and an utter disrespect for political correctness. They are also high on the list.
