Another driver who happened upon the scene said he witnessed several people on the bridge and one good Samaritan jump into the lake to save the driver whose vehicle had gone over the side.

I was raised in West Texas and South Louisiana. This story is not extraordinary. That is the way good people take care of their own. In West Texas we do not have lakes and swamps but we have a lot of other bad stuff. Good people in West Texas and South Louisiana take care of their own and the color of the those saving or needed saving does not mean a damn thing today.

Forty years ago in the South the color would have made a difference if it were a black or white in need of help depending on those that were trying to save a victim. Also in West Texas if the victim were Mexican it would have made a difference.

The South has gotten over the stupidity of prejudice by color of skin as has Texas. In reality in Texas the politicians be they white, black or hispanic are judged by their political beliefs.

However there are those that want to be defined by their race instead of their political ideology. Those individuals use racism instead of logic as their philosophy.

They are most despicable individuals/

You just described a certain segment of Society that Voted for Obama simply because he was (sort of) Black. As I recall, about 95% of the Voters in that “demographic” Voted for Obama.

Those are North Korean Election percentages, as were the 110%+ Voter Precincts that went for Obama.

Nothing pisses me off more then to have some northern Yankee tell me how racist it is in the South. B.S.!!! I've lived up North and I can tell you that the blacks and whites are more racist there then down here.

I go up North to visit relatives and I see more confederate flags there then I do down here. The difference is the confederate flag is part of the culture down here. I can only think of one reason someone would fly the confederate flag up north.
