Oklahoma is like Texas but more conservative and more American Indians. Oklahoma economy is similar to Texas being based on oil/gas and agriculture. I suppose Texas has some more hi-tech. Here and there I have seen black people from Oklahoma with some Injun blood. Kind of interesting

When the Emancipation Proclamation was issued The Civilized tribes that held slaves had to free them. The Cherokee tribe offered to free the slaves or they could become Cherokee. I think there was a real uproar recently when the tribe decided that the Black Cherokees were no longer tribal members, don't know how that turn out.

I was born in Ottawa County (Extreme NE Corner)in 1938 and it was a segregated county until the early 60's when the local junior college brought in some Blacks to play basketball, there were some Arabs there before that I think, probably because of the money.
