I was going to just say East Texas, but let’s be honest, Texas as a whole is as fucked up as it ever has been.  
 

I was driving through Evadale (not recommended) and saw their ISD crest:

I mean, I am not surprised. East Texas is no better than Louisiana, and Louisiana is a shithole full of racist dickbags. Imagine being a black kid going to school in Evadale.  This shit is insulting as fuck. 
 

All the fucked up, head scratching, indecent, aggy like shit goes here. Alternate thread title is Johnny Sack Safe Space. 

If you were driving south on 96, did you see the big hay roll configured and painted to look like trump? On the right, south of Kirbyville IIRC.

I was driving north from Beaumont, so I passed through Kirbyville...didn't see it.  Seems like a problem a match could easily fix.  Fuck East Texas.

There is alot of Texas I haven't seen, I'm glad this is in that portion of Texas . How the fuck is that still a thing in a school

Evasmell was always a nightmare to drive through when I was a kid. Paper plant made that entire area fucking wretched. The kind of place woodville and Jasper could look down upon.

I have been to almost every county in Texas, unfortunately, the entire state is fucked up in one aggy/small dick/zealot way or another.  East Texas just has that "we wanna be like Mississippi" vibe going for it.

The town next to Vidor? I’m shocked 

As I drove through Vidor, then to Evadale, then to Jasper...I thought to myself, I wonder how these Southern Baptists that follow the kind word of Jesus rationalized a black guy being dragged to death behind a truck.  Probably something like "Hmm, that's a shame, pass the potato salad Norma".

I'm high apologies but this is that Jasper right? James Bird? Yea I can imagine that area is pretty fucked up 

Oh yea just read your post. I was young when that happened but man I remember that

Yep, James Byrd.  Guilty of being black in SE Texas.

Not to be confused with the Sundown town of Vidor.

There are maybe 70 zip codes worth redeeming in Texas. The rest should be bombed to death and the world would be better.

There is this myth that Texas is a "live and let live" state.  What a complete and total crock of shit.

5th or whatever the fuck generation Texan. I bolted 16 years ago and life is better. It’s a hellscape getting worse and it’ll be burned with climate change anyway so let it burn. No one will be worse off.

Live and let live if you live the Texan way

I'll my use big brush, since the OP has, in my experience,  traveling and living in different spots of Texas, East, West, central, I can say without question that while the state is conservative,  that rebel yell, racist as fuck part belongs to East Texas.

As one of the resident genealogists who has done a shit-ton of genealogy research all over Texas, East Texas’s identity is more closely tied to the Confederacy.

Central and West Texas’s identity is more about Texas itself.  

It’s not a CR political thing either - most of that is based on population trends and demographics in the mid-1800s

East Texas is a bunch of traitorous Southerner-wannabes, not true Texans. They should all just move to Arkansas where they belong.

The confederate flag flew over Texas for about 4 years, the Mexican flag flew for about 15. I wonder how those people would feel if I “honored our heritage” by putting a Mexican flag on everything.

They can hang it from their trailers all they want. I don’t understand how this could be used for a public ISD.

I think if you go by percentages yes I agree.  But lots of good ole boys all across Texas and the south.  But I also feel the urban rural divide is more stark. People in bumfuck, Washington have more in common with Jasper than it does Seattle

Do it.  Every time I've raised the Mexican flag I got a lot of sopapillas.

Yep. But varying degrees.  Is houston closer to jasper or Seattle.   Seattle but the gap may not be as big

Whoa. That’s a little too far, the instigator of that murder had been indoctrinated by a white supremecist prison gang.

I’ve got some background on this. When sheriff Billy Rowles arrived on scene at the Byrd murder, his very first call was to his good friend my father in law who was the FBI agent in Beaumont. He told him that something horrible had happened that transcended local law enforcement. My FIL was the first LEO to interrogate the murderers, and was the only LEO who could stomach attending Byrd’s autopsy. It took 3 autopsy tables to arrange the remains to something resembling a human body.

SETX may be backwards, but nobody condoned that heinous act.

Of course there are decent folks there/from there. Plenty post on this site.

Regardless, there were several sundown towns in texas (mostly east I believe).

Attitudes have changed for a lot of folks, but pre civil rights era wasn’t that long ago. Anyways, I appreciate the assholes who fly stars and bars to some degree. It lets me know they aren’t worth even talking to.

In high school, we (Gainesville) would occasionally play Iowa Park in football. Their fight song is Dixie, or at least it was in 98-00.

Any time we would play Princeton in anything, coaches would always warn us Princeton was notorious for calling Black opponents “niggers.”  Princeton sure as fuck adhered to that policy.
 

they lost—bigly

It’s crazy to me how effortlessly these people utter that word. Even in a professional environment at a very large engineering firm I worked out. Just blows my mind.

There are racists in just about every zip code in the country.  The original point stands - - this is a public school district endorsing a symbol that essentially celebrates racism and sedition.  I don't know how that happens in 2022.

Well, I take that back.  I know how it happens.  The fact that it does is disgraceful.

They aren’t Rebels. Rebels destroyed the Death Star. Twice. 

They’re Traitors. And they’re also Losers. They got their asses kicked. Not sure where the pride comes from.

Go to the Rio Grande Valley if you want to hear public racial slurs.  I lived there for two years and it has to be close to Vidor level.

Interesting. I haven’t heard the word in a professional setting in my entire life. Maybe your profession sucks.

Probably no worse than what he says and hears at church or the country club. Just bc it was directed at him, it’s worth mentioning.
