    Is this Bobby or Bigtexxx?

    In case you are wondering Onalaska ISD is 88% white.

    It is also a bad district in terms of AP/Test, TAKS etc.

    Average income in the country is 33k. He is making a 110k.

    He doubled down on it in his comments. Lol. He'd be fired if his district wasn't 88% white.

    What a frickin idiot. What a stupid thing to say or even think. To actually post it on social media, even if by mistake, is just beyond comprehension. This knuckle dragger probably just destroyed his career.

    I've heard it's not racist if you have statistics to back you up.

    I am sure he is sorry that his private prejudice is now public. Hard to believe there have been no ramifications. Kind of reinforces folks' fear that there are still plenty of bigoted individuals who just hide their feelings.

    Had a friend with a cabin in Onalaska. He used it as a weekend home while in undergrad at SHSU, where he had a house in Huntsville.

    It was absurd, but he was a good guy and friends with money are neat.

    Anyway, of course this guy should be fired.

    "When you need precision rational decision making, you can't count on a black quarterback Bill O Brien."

    Fixed it.

    Racism accusations are so off-putting to me because I see racist behavior from all races. Many blacks are very racist, yet they have no problem mounting their high horse to act all high and mighty and position themselves as the authority when other races express racism. All racism is wrong and should be condemned. With that said, you cannot count on a white cornerback or a Greek point guard. If you laughed at that, then you are a bad person.

    GOOD DAY

    One of my college roommate made very similar comments to me once. I lit in to him. I grew up with Warren Moon being an idol and was a big Steve McNair fan.

    You have played a character on a message board for 16 years. That is kind of impressive. I am not sure if you have had any posts out of character.

    This guy did BoB a gigantic favor in taking the heat.

    I think the term is either: pathological or telling.

    Ah, another one of the known bigots on this board chimes in with his racist rant. Go back to the hole u were in, and climb back in.

    Not necessarily; Onalaska is deep in the heart of East Texas. Factor that in to your calculus.

    Edit: To clarify, he would most likely be fired in most other districts, other than Onalaska, where this type of thinking is the norm.

    I haven't agreed with BoB much lately but his comments were right on regarding this fool.
