Only 5 sisters and three brothers lived to old age.

They were all racist assholes including my mother. Talk about feelings of entitlement. They all had it in spades. In the end not one was speaking to the other.

Racists don’t necessarily breed new racists. My brother and I are very Democratic.

Racism is the family can be very humiliating.

I really like San Antonio. I remember how really friendly and helpful everyone was. We had a great time.

Glad my last personal memory of Texas was so nice. I won't be making any more.

so I never left the Houston airport; the other two times were work-related visits to Dallas, which didn't impress me at all - it looked like one gigantic strip mall. I'm sure parts of it and the rest of the state are very nice, but I no longer have any desire to find out.
