I can't play the video. Where is this? The story didn't mention the location, just that's it's in Harris County, outside the City of Houston.

That sign is located in Cloverleaf based on the pictures and description from the news (they said Uvalde & I-10 area).

Outer east side, huh.
No big shock it happened there. |

Outer east side all the way out to the Golden Triangle feels like a world apart compared to the rest of Houston. Culture, way of speech, mannerisms, etc. (Blah.) I'd even venture to say a world apart from the Houston-Austin-SA-Corpus area. Maybe it's a product of the refineries, who knows?
But it's unfair to judge the rest of Houston & suburbs based on this incident. For example you can look in ''sundown'' town databases online and find just as many used to be out west or up north as they were in Texas & the rest of the south.

How about we just rise above this **** and ignore it? Starve these attention-craving fools of what they want.

Actually, doesn't sound like you hit the poster's nerve at all -- sounds more like a bit of well-deserved sarcasm on his/her part - insinuating that the original post doesn't have the snap to know that racism (against all ethnicities) exists all across the country and the world for that matter. But most of Houston is pretty diverse. I experienced the worse racism I have ever seen in New York City .................... |
