Texas Gets One Step Closer to Secession

[lennypartiv]

It would be a great move. Anything to get away from Biden and the rest of the Democrats. It appears as if they have enough signatures to get it on the ballot.

Dude, texass ain't going nowhere. 1/3-1/2 of the state budget comes from the feds, and lets not even talk about who funds the border patrol and the oil subsidies and other shit.

Yep nobody seems to hate Americans and the U.S. more than Texas MAGA

I wish they would secede, it's called addition by subtraction.

Leftists are still butthurt over the land we bought from Mexico and the fact that Texas said "fuck off" and left Mexico.

How big is that step? Hah. Moronic.

I don’t think most Mexicans would want to associate with Texans
I know most Americans sure don’t

 

[mamooth]

Nothing is stopping individual right-wing Texans from moving out of the USA, if they hate being in the USA so much.

I suggest Russia, Iran or North Korea as being places that would be more suited to their ideology.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No, it does not get any closer.

Mexico isn't in the olympics because all the Mexicans that can run or swim are in Texas.

Unfortunately, being ignorant didn't stop the white supremacists who founded this country and created & enforced the laws that were advantageous to them and at the expense of Black people, based on white supremacist beliefs which they claim came from the Creator himself:​

​

...She [the state of Texas] was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time​

​

We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.​

That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations;​

And I can think of three things right off the top of my head that most people would reason had a negative impact on the ability of Black people in America to progress at the same rate and to the same levels as whites or anyone else:​

1. Teaching Black people to read/write was made unlawful and punishable by penalties and imprisonment.

2. There was an instance where several of the Prince Edward communities in Virginia shut down the schools in their district rather than integrate them in direct defiance of the landmark SCOTUS ruling Brown v Board of Education, that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional. They did this knowing that the white families would willing pay for their children to attend private schools while the less affluent Black familiies, who relied on the public schools, would not have that opinion. Those schools remained shuttered to the Black families for five years.

3. The doctrine of "Separate but equal"
   Separate but equal was a legal doctrine in United States constitutional law, according to which racial segregation did not necessarily violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which nominally guaranteed "equal protection" under the law to all people. Under the doctrine, as long as the facilities provided to each "race" were equal, state and local governments could require that services, facilities, public accommodations, housing, medical care, education, employment, and transportation be segregated by "race", which was already the case throughout the states of the former Confederacy. The phrase was derived from a Louisiana law of 1890, although the law actually used the phrase "equal but separate".[1]
   
   The doctrine was confirmed in the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation. Though segregation laws existed before that case, the decision emboldened segregation states during the Jim Crow era, which had commenced in 1876, and supplanted the Black Codes, which restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans during the Reconstruction era.
   
   In practice, the separate facilities provided to African Americans were rarely equal; usually they were not even close to equal, or they did not exist at all.[2] For example, in the 1930 census, Black people were 42% of Florida's population.[3] Yet according to the 1934–1936 report of the Florida Superintendent of Public Instruction, the value of "white school property" in the state was $70,543,000, while the value of African American school property was $4,900,000. The report says that "in a few south Florida counties and in most north Florida counties many Negro schools are housed in churches, shacks, and lodges, and have no toilets, water supply, desks, blackboards, etc. Counties use these schools as a means to get State funds and yet these counties invest little or nothing in them." At that time, high school education for African Americans was provided in only 28 of Florida's 67 counties.[4] In 1939–1940, the average salary of a white teacher in Florida was $1,148, whereas for a Black teacher it was $585.[5]

What would you imagine that lack of opportunity, interference with educational opportunity, denial of educational opportunities do to a populace?​

​

And why do so many of you all continue to pretend that everything was equal between the races, specifically equal opportunities to advance and obtain upward mobility.​
