Man, what is with those people??????? Those people need to get a life. In Houston, I rarely see racial trouble. It seems like it is either on the West Coast or in the North, where I see lots of racial tensions. I know many Northern cities are very segregated. In Houston, schools desegregated quietly. Texas is not a so prone to racial tensions.

I am not saying there is no racial tensions, but I don't see it explode into a riot though. There was only one I can think of in the 1970s.

We get a race riot in the high schools every couple years in this part of Texas. In one school which was shut down for 3 days --- the kids from Mexico didn't think the black kids from the military families belonged at their school.

That's not entirely true. How many Black folks do you find down in the Valley?

I lived in Houston for 8 years. You are right. It's also always too hot in Houston to fight.
