I agree with Metro Matt. I dont find Fort Worth even slightly southern. Dallas, maybe so, but not Fort Worth.
As for East Fort Worth, just because an area is predominantly African-American does not make it Southern. Otherwise, Detroit and Southside Chicago would be Southern.
To me, Fort Worth is a big city version of West Texas. Which I like. Fort Worth has always been my favorite city in Texas with no close second.
Yea marginalize a group that made up 20% of Fort Worth population in 2000 Census. Fort Worth has the third largest concentration of black Americans outside of Houston and Dallas. Fort Worth just like its big brothers Dallas and Houston suffered from the same racial segregation that was common throughout the south. Fort Worth historically was a white/black town. Blacks on the Eastside of Fort Worth and whites on the Westside of Fort Worth. To sit here and say that Fort Worth has no southern culture is foolish on your part. Granted you didn't live in DFW in the 80's and 90's it was demographically much different than it is now. I was born in raised in Fort Worth, Texas I should know.
I wasn't trying to find the least Southern pictures. Go Google Austin Texas, or Austin Texas hills. Who are you trying to fool here? If anything if one tries to find the MOST Southern looking pics of Austin, one would have to look even HARDER than someone trying to find the LEST Southern looking. The very fact that you had to find EAST Austin proves my point. I just took ANY photo of hills and country side in Central Texas. Who are you fooling here? None of it looks Southern. I lived in Austin for 8yrs my friend, I should know. And I now live IN the Southeastern US. No offense, but don't try to fool me or anyone here.

Wow, I had no idea black and southern meant the same thing!

Apparently it does. They even had to find EAST Austin on Google maps. They're trying REALLY hard to convince themselves of something.
