13) Lingering racism. Lubbock is sort of mentally-retarded when it comes to progressing beyond race issues. It’s moved forward a pinch, but the town is still deeply segregated: Black on the east side, Hispanic on the north side, white on the southwest side, complete with a sticky sweet college-student center. Up until the ‘70s, Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. was named Quirt Road. A quirt was a whip used to torture slaves. Read this award-winning journalist’s article on racism in Lubbock. When Obama was elected, Tech’s Facebook lit up with a flurry of angry white status updates like “CHANGE = Come Help A ****** Get Elected.” Racism is alive here, and it’s not just old people, it’s college students, mostly the ones from surrounding cowfart towns and wealthy suburbs of Dallas and Houston… which means most of the student population (Tack that onto #3). Lubbock also has an active National Socialist Movement group.

From whataburger to your living room!!!!!

While not reading any of that link(porn has slowed down the system substantially) I would assume that racism finds its place in the equation.

I'm just glad we're finally getting the cream of the crop in place to offset past injustices. Sure, these folks may be as dumb as dirt and can't pass a basic test a dyslexic fool got through, but justice is here.

America, baby.

2) Lubbock is a dry town.

No, it is not. You've been able to drink with your meal or at a bar for decades. Package sales were kept out of the city for many years, but are allowed now.

Lubbock’s conservative Baptists used to hate Buddy Holly because he was rock and made kids feel good

Bullcrap. Holly liked Lubbock and planned to come back.

7) People who work at Lubbock’s airport are a******s

Why should Lubbock be any different from the rest of the US?

Up until the ‘70s, Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. was named Quirt Road. A quirt was a whip used to torture slaves.

No, dumb@$$, a Quirt is a short whip used while riding a horse.

you do realize that you linked a blog written by a guy that also writes homo erotic novels right. Look at the about me section on the right of the screen.


Im taking it he is one of yor favorite writers??

So moRon reads homoerotic novels? That explains a lot. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just not surprised.

More to come?

Good to know....

I hate Lubbock too. I grew up in Plainview and will never go back to the arm pit of Texas.

poor chubby ron, him and his chins sitting in the corner reading homoerotic novels. what a fu**ing idiot.

Pay attention:

That a dude who writes homo books doesn't like living in Lubbock is all the more reason to like living in Lubbock.

If you wanna write homo books, move to Austin and GTFO of Lubbock. Austin people will love you. L. O. V. E.

You'll be BFFs. Hooray!

damn, diver with the american history x to ron's chubby face!

And seriously anyone from A&M using Lubbock's conservatism as a down fall??? That a bit of pot and kettle.

there is some serious ownage going on in this thread.

I've lived several places in Texas, and never have I lived in a place with a population more than 40,000 where there wasn't a black neighborhood, white neighborhoods, and mexican neighborhoods.

and College Station does not have lingering racism?

I blame all of college Station's racism on the blacks and mexicans.

19) Lubbock drivers. Everybody says their city has the worst drivers, but Lubbock roads have a near perfect ratio of people over 70, drunk college students, rich trophy wives in SUVs, and illegal immigrants. Half drive too slow, fail to yield, signal, merge, fail to understand the basic concepts of fast lane/slow lane, left-yield turns, and double-turn lanes. The other half kill people for fun.

I can agree with that

Allstate just named Lubbock drivers fourth on the "best drivers" list in the state of Texas.

In fact, that article is more full of BS than the stockyards east of Lubbock.
