Just in case you forgot, Texas Independence Day was 170 years ago today.
I'm sure that former Houston Stadium And Corporate Welfare Czar Oliver Luck will take credit for more people remembering.
Hispanics, most of them of Mexican descent, surpassed Anglos as the largest ethnic group in the city in the 2000 census and are about 42 percent of the population. One of every three Texans is Hispanic, and they want a review of the Anglo-centric history the state has long celebrated.
Okay, fine. Instead of teaching "We won" we're more than happy to amend it.
Does "We won, you lost" sound good?
Perhaps it's time to declare independence again?

Exactly who will do the declaring? Apparently, the 'people of Texas' is quite a different thing today, demographically, than it was 170 years ago. Which is the crux of the problem. So rather than a renewed declaration of independence, what is needed, if not in Texas, where it may already be too late, then certainly elsewhere in the US where Whites are still a substantial majority, is a recognition of the threat immigration poses to US national identity.
