More Racial Drama in Texas-Hispanics Keep Out

One week after a dust up between Neo Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen and Black Panthers in Paris, Texas, we have another racial incident in a state that is on the verge of changing while some of its old guard and ignorant desperately try to hold on. This one is small compared to the dust up in Paris, but represents an attitude that sadly gets spouted or implied on TV news shows hosted by the likes of Lou Dobbs and Glen Beck. In Azel, Texas not too far out of Dallas, we have a couple who have posted a sign that says ‘Hispanics Keep Out’

When confronted by concerned neighbors the 72 year old woman of the house who declined to give her name stated that she was within her ‘American’ rights to put whatever sign she wants to on her property.   For those who are outside of the Lone Star state bear in mind that Texas is very strong when it comes to property rights. You can get shot and the owner not be in trouble if you decide to come tresspassing on people’s property.

The woman’s stupidity and pure ignorance is borne out by the fact that she says she doesn’t want anyone who is here in this country illegally coming to her house.  However, she doesn’t specifically state ‘illegal’ or ‘undocumented’ Hispanics keep out.  Of course one might point out to this Azel woman,  indigenous folks aren’t the ones here illegally- if anything its the woman in question but that’s for another column on another date.

As was stated earlier Texas, is going through some serious growing pains. As the sate becomes Blacker and Browner in many sectors there are those who simply will not go with the flow and adapt. Most of the people in Azel Texas are not in agreement with the sign and have publicly stated so.. but there is an ilk of people some who hold power and set policy and some who have been granted a platform in national and even local media who espouse such views. They need to die off  and then we can start to really build a multi-cultural nation free of their ignorance and racial bias. 

This incident comes in the middle of a firestorm where conversations about race are now center stage in public conversations. Much of it stems from the Paris, Texas dust up and the incident in Cambridge, Mass involving Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates being arrested for breaking into his own home and his friend  President Obama commenting by calling the place stupid.  Gates who accused the police of racially profiling him sparked off a big debate on the issue. Now with this ‘Hispanics Keep Out Sign in texas, this no doubt will keep us talking.

  1. The reporter on this story is pure BS! “They [neighbors] are practicing tolerance”, really? Nice way to justify some racist sh*t. It doesn’t say “immigrants keep out” it says Hispanics, which means one group of people.

  2. Imagine “Jews keep out” at a home in the heart of NY or DC suburbs. It never would be tolerated. – Never again right?

  3. @ Shem1 imagine that

  4. note that she said “I hate the ones that come over here illegally TOO”

    notice the word TOO.

  5. LOL

    So the non-Hispanic immigrants who may stay past their alloted time are ok? WTF wants to go to Azel, TX in the first place?! “Bertha” skipped her meds…

  6. I love Hispanics. I hate racists.

  7. OK Patrick here…
    That’s my fabulous Mom you saw on the video “Hispanics keep Out”.
    Yes this story was on local TV news and yes it went “Viral”.
    I suppose many didn’t realize the reason I didn’t post ” Illegals Keep Out ” was simply that no one would have paid attention to such you think?
    That said; after the huge response (my mom happened to be there the day the news truck came by) she and I tried to set the intended messaging in motion.
    Many understood many didn’t. The message is still “enough illegals”. Y’all get it.
    I’m proud of my mom and her response that day.
    By the way there are no where near enough ” Patriots” in our country these days. Cmon !
    We decided on the sign after I paid $1000 for a single mattress and the *****’s that delivered it could speak no English. Could have had green cards who delicious and I don’t care.
    I pointed at the front porch and said “leave it”
    Thanks for watching and listening. Patrick.
