"Where Their Hair Is Bigger, And They Still Call You N*****....

...Deep in the heart of Texas."
Texas is a strange state - part Antebellum South, part Southwest.
But judging by the attention the state has gotten in recent years; The James Byrd murder in Jasper, The CNN round table in Vidor, the false arrest of Black citizens on trumped up drug charges (Tulia, Texas http://www.hr95.org/tulia.htm ),

and now this in the small East Texas town of Tenaha. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-texas-profiling11-2009mar11,0,507135.story ?

I'm not big on blaming all Black problems on institutional racism. But when there are stories of those we are expected to trust to enforce laws fairly and equally doing otherwise - I have to wonder. Is Texas just a racist state?
