Question

An Old Texas Saying Claims You Arent A Real Texan Untill You Sleep With A Black Person Whats The Significance Of This Statement?
Is It A Racial Slur?
Also Even If You Are Black You Still Have To Sleep With Another Black Person To Be Considered A True Texan....
Can Anyone Enlighten Me On This Statement

Answer 1

I believe this statement hearkens back to the time when anyone in Texas who's skin was darker than a brown paper bag, was considered a black person. So, anyone, that includes Indians, Mexicans, and mixed-blood people, who were not lily-white were considered black.

Now down to the nitty-gritty; a real Texan (a real man) had to be prolific with the ladies. So any man that bedded someone other than his wife was considered to have slept with a black person.

I'm sure it is all as clear as mud now. But it is a racial slur to all people of color, especially women of color.

Answer 2

I just spoke to a Texan guy about this who didn't have a clue where it came from. He just said it was something you did so you could always say you were a real Texan. Also he said that blacks aren't real Texans anyway.
I realize this doesn't shed a lot of light on your question, but it does come from someone who's white, Texan, and been there and done that.

Answer 3

Somebody has screwed up an old Texas saying about pushing Cows.
"You ain't a Texas drover until you slept with a rattlesnake."

Bigots' and trolls' only talent is screwing up....cause that's the only kind of screwing they ever get.

Answer 4
