| Re:Former (?) Racist Town Welcomes Blacks from LO In the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan drove every last black resident out of town through a campaign of murder and terrorism. Blacks had owned large swaths of timberland here; later, whites took it over. In the '50s, hand-painted signs, using a capitalized racial slur to address blacks, read, "READ THIS AND RUN," and "DON'T LET THE SUN SET ON YOU HERE." The signs were a reminder that hooded Klansmen still roamed the night, unbothered. In the '70s, black motorists who dared to stop for gas in Vidor were reportedly forced to drink motor oil. In the '90s, after four black families moved into a public housing complex, Klansmen in full regalia staged marches, cross-burnings and fund-raisers to "Keep Vidor White." The families moved away shortly thereafter. Today, according to the NAACP's Hate Crimes Web site, Vidor remains the home of a Klan faction, the "Knights of the White Kamellia." In a state where blacks make up 12 percent of the population, few of Vidor's 11,293 inhabitants are African-American; just eight blacks were counted here five years ago. --------------- What racism??? Blacks have had it easy since the end of the civil war.... they just need to work harder like whites. |
