But this refusal to change, whether it be Confederate Flag pride or White Settlement, Texas. It is interesting to see the degree to which people embrace their racist, violent pasts.<BR/><BR/>That "reply" cannot even be taken seriously.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948968492418218659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17311667.post-1132202991120987552005-11-16T23:49:00.000-05:002005-11-16T23:49:00.000-05:00I was named White Settlement after they had a batt...I was named White Settlement after they had a battle and killed all the indians in the region. White Settlement didn't "lose large stores" because of their name. They lost them because of the down turn in the economy and the boom in a neighboring community (Southlake).<BR/><BR/>Nigton, was named by the white communities that wouldn't allow blacks to settle there after the slaves were freed. There are only 50 remaining people living there. <BR/><BR/>... that jack assed reply? Wow. Sad that people that that exist. However, it is just as sad that you (author) would portray Texas as some racist hick state based on THIS story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17311667.post-1132191661196103542005-11-16T20:41:00.000-05:002005-11-16T20:41:00.000-05:00Not written by me, but a rebuttal to your comment ...Not written by me, but a rebuttal to your comment about the name change:<BR/><BR/>Just to keep things fair and balanced.<BR/><BR/>Reply to: pers-111751333@craigslist.org<BR/>Date: 2005-11-16, 4:25PM CST<BR/><BR/><BR/>God forbid, there might come a day when all these whiney ass minorities will turn their attention away from blaming everything on "Whitey" (including a city's name) for their so-called "misfortune" and start taking accountability for their own plight. I've had enough of this stupid ass entitlement mentality and I'm sick of getting up every moring, going to work, busting my ass, and paying taxes so some jackass can sit around squirting babies out, sit on their ass, and collect a check from "da gubmint" at the expense of MY fucking tax dollars. Then these same assholes who are a leach to society want to fucking whine and complain because of a city's name. God forbid they took the time to actually learn the history behind it. That would require them to get off their sorry lazy asses and make an effort to educate themselves. But God forbid, that would take them away from their "crack smoking" time and "getting fucked to make more babies for checks" time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17311667.post-1132182151949163082005-11-16T18:02:00.000-05:002005-11-16T18:02:00.000-05:00I'm actually from North Texas, some crazy ass town...I'm actually from North Texas, some crazy ass town changed its name to Dish, Texas on the request of Dish Network in exchange for its citizens 10 years of free Dish TV, after which they will pay. I forgot the name of the town but there were already two here so I'd say they got the good end of the deal, if you really enjoy TV, its not for me though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17311667.post-1132164299705301812005-11-16T13:04:00.000-05:002005-11-16T13:04:00.000-05:00Don't forget about Nigtown, Texas.- RamoDon't forget about Nigtown, Texas.<BR/><BR/>- RamoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
