Warning Will Robertson! Warning! After living down here in Dumbutt, Texas for 34 years, I am still considered a Yankee, and disliked more than even African Americans and immigrants. I did well for the first few years when I would laugh at all their NWORD jokes and talk about my duck hunting gun days. But pretending to be a gun crazy racist got old and I finally had enough of it and came out of the closet. Haven’t made a new friend in Texas since.
But also keep in mind that if you keep your mouth shut it is a good move for the ego as only days after the move you will experience a surge in your IQ by about 50 points, repetitively speaking. So it’s not all bad. In fact the weather is kinder, the ocean nearby, houses are a lot cheaper and it’s a nice change for the first few years. But after a while the bigotry, the racism, the gungoonery, the religious intolerance, the neo confederacy crap and the wholesale ignorance can wear you down. And as soon as you decide to talk back, you are done dancing in Texas.
Please disregard ALL THIS if you are a Right-wing lunatic from up North somewhere. This state was made for you. And remember, if it were not for the large voting Hispanic population, slavery would more than likely be back. Texans treated slaves well I am told. So its okay.
