It was a great relief to me when I realized Texas is not the south...so relieved. I hope it is not a Southern “thing” though. Please don’t let it be. How shameful.
Haha. According to the Southern Alliance of Klans on their calendar of events online (I just Googled and it popped right up), the next national Klan meeting is May 1 in Marshall, TX, complete with cross burning and “naturalization” ceremony — whatever that is; then Oct 2 in Lufkin, TX; then December 4 in Dallas. Texas can be part of the southwest or the South, whichever floats your boat. But regardless, it’s got more than its share of Klan representation. I’m from Texas, too. I didn’t know there was Klan in Texas till I moved to the Hill Country. Lots of it there. I’d prefer to call it a southern thang instead of a Texas thang, but either way, a spade’s a spade. Until we’re rid of it entirely, we own it.
