4. Texas Ain't Lily-White, Never Was, Won't Be

Despite my disenchantment with my home state, I still know its history.

Texas never was a Lily-white state and its chances of becoming one drop each day. Like the video stated, Texas demographics show that Euro-Americans are no longer a majority, but a plurality (Ironically, the last time Texas had such percentages of whites to non-whites was probably in the 1830’s, counting the Apaches and Comanches living beyond the lines of settlement). That percentage will continue to decrease with natural increase and would still decrease even if the wing-nutz got their precious wall.

Moreover, the numbers of mostly-white areas are shrinking, not just in the cities and suburbs, but out in the countryside. I’ve watched it happen. Not only the border area but formerly majority-white areas like the South Plains and the Texas Panhandle are browning. This is also underway in East Texas, too.

These secessionist idiots ought to pack it in. Even if Texas left the Union, Texas would become a demograhically non-white country like Mexico, Peru, Chile, Guatemala, etc…
