Whites already have one. Their group is called "Corporate America."

No surprise it came out of Pasadena. I've argued elsewhere that Pasadena has earned its reputation of not being a "black-friendly" city, and that its exceedingly minute black population is no accident - a point met with plenty of denial. I suspect that out of all the areas in the southeast along 45, he'd probably get the most takers out of Pasadena/Deer Park, Santa Fe, Bacliff, maybe even Dickinson.

Well its pretty obvious that in today's society, they aren't really relevant. They are soliciting anonymously - people have no idea who is doing it or where they are actually coming from because they do it with a note on a rock in a bag. Even if all they are seeking is press - they are being laughed at for their tactics and found repulsive for their motives - just another non-relevant group in U.S. society. I wonder if it is truly a KKK person or just an extreme racist hiding behind the cover of what he/she thinks is a larger group.

I never saw any news that showed where the person was actually from ... just that the first incidents were notes thrown in Deer Park and now Seabrook. I don't think they know where the person is from or even have a suspect - just a truck description.

However I think Pasadena's demographics are now changing. North Pasadena is now mostly Hispanic.

I thought they were going to stop after they signed up the HFD?

I think you can find racists (mostly closet racists) in every ethnicity in pretty much every workplace. There will always be one or two or more depending upon the number of employees - people are human and this is one more thing that goes with being human. The more educated someone is though, the less racist they seem to become. Some racists are filled with hatred (and ignorance) whereas some are simply uneducated and their opinions stem from that ignorance and not-so-much a born hatred that will never heal. And once they improve that educational void in their head and exposure to people who are different from themselves. -- the racism often goes away for those types - of all races.

Very true. Racist are absolutely everywhere. And I have come to notice that most of them are that way because they are ignorant and some just have plain hate in them.

This site has plenty of them. And if you want to find some of the most hardcore racist, just head on over to the Houston Chronicle website, lol. I have also come to notice that most racist now a days do their work on the internet. They would never say the things they say on the internet in public. Which is why I started labeling racist people as cowards, haha.

The Bay Area has had these types sine it all began I guess.
Wasn't Vidor, Texas a notorious 'Sundown Town'?

Vidor is not in the ''Bay Area''; it's in the Golden Triangle about 90-95 miles away between Beaumont and Orange.

Pasadena on the other hand, was one of these towns and so was Santa Fe.

Look how many more of these towns were in CA vs TX though.
