This shirt pretty much sums it up:

If Austin wasn’t weird, I would get very, very concerned.

In that town, you can guarantee that the truly strange and weird folks will be on Sixth Street.

Austin is NOT Texas. Austin is an island surrounded by Texas.

Austin is a disgrace to the State of Texas!

And Martin Luther King Day will be replaced by Black Lives Matter Day.

There will be a parade followed by violent demonstrations including looting and burning of local businesses and police cars.

How long before they diss Stephen F. Austin?

Austin is soooo 2 months ago. LA did this in August.

“Indigenous Peoples’ Day”

Kennewick Man and his clan?

[Viking2002]

Austin is the San Francisco of Texas.

If Spaniards had not wiped out the Aztecs, there would be no indigenous people left.

How about Alamo day?

And what about Austin itself, named after the colonizer Stephen Austin?

“The resolution that is before us today is in the spirit of inclusiveness,” District 1 Council Member Ora Houston said. “In this polarized environment we live in now, there’s no way we can celebrate both.”

If they can't celebrate both then they are not being inclusive, right?

“...Austin is a disgrace to the State of Texas!...”
Just put a fence around it and turn it into the country’s largest insane asylum. Once they’re in there, don’t ever let em out.

Well, Austin. IF it makes you feel any better, we know longer celebrate MLK day anymore. Instead, we celebrate Robert E. Lee’s birthday and have done so ever since your black messiah endowed us as being racists because we were born “white”. So, we just went ahead and made the change....kinda like you azzclowns.

[KarlInOhio]

How about going completely crazy and rename it "Get your lazy civil service ass back to work" day and no longer have it as a paid holiday? No?

[eartick]

shove it up your gay liberal bung hole Austin.

Your a cyst on Texas' a$$ and should be removed.

Columbus Day is the celebration of discovery. The indigenous people were already here, they didn’t discover anything. A Celebration of Indigenous Peoples should not be on the same day, and I’m quite sure they wouldn’t pick this particular day to celebrate their existence. When will the left finally realize, it’s over, Hillary lost and the movement is dead.

The indigenous people were already here, they didn’t discover anything.

According to the official position of almost all anthropologists the "Indigenous" people came here across the Bering Straits dry land bridge. They were immigrants just like everybody else. The main stream anthros claim humans originated in Africa, thus we ALL are immigrants--no one is indigenous to North or South America.

Let’s celebrate by passing out pox laden blankets.

The San Francisco of Texas. Hanoi in the Hill Country.
