The Formerly Great State of Texas, Part One

The Formerly Great State of Texas, Part One

I used to respect, deeply respect and admire, the Lone Star State. Now I’m beginning to wonder if that respect and admiration are still warranted.

Two stories out of Texas give pause and cause wonder as to what in the name of Sam Houston is going on down there!

Pretty, white, 16 year old Texan high school student and cheer leader Hillaire made the news not for being a a pretty, white high school cheer leader but for refusing to cheer for fellow student, black basketball player, Rakheem Jamal Bolton, who had raped her.

Hillaire didn’t rant and rave against Rakheem, as she should have. Her father made no effort to render Rakheem a eunoch and then drag him a bit behind the family pick-up, as he should have. Her East Texas town and Silsbee High School failed to support her, as they should have.

With few others in her corner, except for the 16,270 who signed an online petition on her behalf, Hillaire simply sat down and refused to feign enthusiasm for the sick bastard who had raped her even after Silsbee officials demanded she cheer for Rakheem. After all, Rakheem had been temporarilly cleared of the rape charge and, after all, he was a top defensive player.

For that sit-down, for her intransigence, Hillaire was permanently kicked off the Silsbee High cheerleading team.

Just in case anyone missed the of intricacies of all that, a white Texan teenage girl was raped, her rapist, Rakheem Jamal Bolton, a black basketball player, was permitted to play ball for the school team and the rape victim was ordered to, in effect, pretend it never happened and to cheer her heart out for her rapist.

Of course, there was an extenuating circumstance: Hillaire got drunk at a party. That’s the only extenuation. During the party, shortly after entering a room with two boys, Rakheem, 18, and his good bro, Christian Paul Rountree, 19, she was heard crying, “Stop! Seriously, stop it. No!”

In Texas nowadays it seems white girls can’t just say, “No!” . . .
