East Texas We Have A Problem...And It's Making Us Look Racist

[JoethePleb]

East Texas, we have a problem. Years after national headlines over James Byrd's dragging in Jasper, a series of unrelated high profile events have kept the region's reputation of racial intolerance alive and well.
John Craft, an assistant U.S. Attorney in the criminal justice division of the Eastern District of Texas, posted derogatory comments about Trayvon Martin and President Obama in a private facebook group. In reference to Stand Your Ground laws Craft wrote:

How are you fixed for Skittles and Arizona watermelon fruitcocktail (and maybe a bottle of Robitussin, too) in your neighborhood? I am fresh out of "purple drank." So, I may come by for a visit. In a rainstorm. In the middle of the night. In a hoodie. Don't get upset or anything if you see me looking in your window...kay?"

1. Makes it LOOK racist?

When a rodeo clown was banned from the Missouri State Fair for mocking the President, Congressman Steve Stockman invited him to perform in Texas.
