"Councilmember Carolyn King Arnold believes that a darkening of Big Tex's skin would make the State Fair of Texas feel more inclusive."

Changes to Big Tex? (2 min video)

This is Big Tex. Big Tex is too White. Big Tex needs melatonin to tan his skin.

[dfwgator]

They already practically made him Hispanic.

He looks like George H.W. Bush. 😄

“This is Big Tex. Big Tex is too White. Big Tex needs melatonin to tan his skin.”

Melatonin may help him sleep, but it won’t do much to change his complexion.

Unless he falls asleep in the sun....

Oh look, another politician pushing the lie of "transgender" - there is no such thing as "transgender"

Dallas, Texas – Council Member Carolyn King Arnold issued the following statement regarding Merci Richey Mack:

“I offer my most sincere condolences to the family of Merci Mack during their season of grief. Merci was a Black transgender female who was shot and killed on June 30.”

Inclusiveness means excluding whites.

[Secret Agent Man]

How about No?

How about make some new figure if necessary and leave the current one.

[Inclusiveness means excluding whites.]

Unfortunately, that is absolutely 100% correct.

This one used to be on another site:

Please tell me that this “melatonin” - rich person is not being paid with public funds!!!

I thought blackface was bad unless your name is Ted Danson.

[unless your name is Ted Danson]

You tell them I said to get the good plane - the Ted Danson plane!

[SaveFerris]

When in doubt.......Liberals go for....

Thought they already did this a few years ago. Geez, they made Little Orphan Annie black. They not only made Dorothy Gale black but made her a guy. And that fiasco with Hamilton. How about we make George Washington Carver and MLK white? Surely, that wouldn’t ruffle anyone’s feathers. Ok, ok, we can keep Soetoro half black.

Big Tex is Caucasian.

blackening his skin is just another form of erasing the whites that created texas.

Councilmember Carolyn King Arnold is to white, she isn’t even all black. There is a whitey in the woodpile .

[tired&retired]

Time for Trump to rename Mexico as “South Texas.

“They already practically made him Hispanic.”

Agree ... the last darkening was a few years back (2012) when it fell over due to a fire. The replacement had a decidedly darker skin tone.

I suppose the effort to darken Big Tex again is related to systemic effort by some in our society who demand that everything from advertising, TV, and movies be primarily ‘black’. I find that odd as the black customer base with purchasing power is only a few percent of the population.
