@TexasPhyl1 You're obviously not from the South either, because in the South, where you're born (or more specifically, where you came home from the hospital to) is where you're from. Unless you were like 2
or 3 or less when you moved there. (For instance, my grandfather was born in Wisconsin, but moved to Southeastern VA when he was 6 months old, and he's as Southern as Nathan Bedford Forrest.)
I am one of those Texans who proudly says I may not have been born in Texas, but got here as quickly as I could. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A TEXAN. There is no other state that has such a change of scenery.
I was born in San Antonio "BEXAR" but my mother married a "GD" yankee, so through no fault of my own I grew up, live & work in california, BUT my family roots/history are TEXAS, hell my family on my mothers side is TEXAS, going all the way back when texans were known as TEXICANS! I will be buried in TEXAS.
I can't understand why so many people think Texas sucks. If you ask me (a native Texan), you should (a) not judge a place without having been there - as that's called prejudice - and (b) assuming you have realistic information from a reliable source about that place, only disagree with the particular people or ideas of that place that you do not like. Don't hate the place as a whole. Texas is by far the most naturally diverse and most beautiful state in the Union, and should be treated as such.
@Texijapi1010 Amen to that, Texan brother! I'm a Free Vietnamese refugee living in San Jose, CA & I have to say that you Texans are absolutely nice & beautiful people! Much more friendly & warm than these scums from CA any day of the year! I just love that Southern culture of yours :-)
Excused my eglish, Spain is no good for this matter you know. Every time I hear this song my eyes flow an I don't know why... It's such as when I hear Billie Holiday to sing 'All of me' or Armstrong's whatever it was. Thanks. Ricardo
even in my Area of Northeast Texas,bordering Southwest Arkansas,we are seeing an influx of illegals,the illegals arent stupid, they understand but dont care that they wreck an area,as in my Eyes the Dallas Area is shot to shit,I do expect sooner rather than later possible race war type situations involving white and Mexicans, as the illegal attitude seems more in line with Middle eastern extremist views towards israel, that type of view, is what illegals have towards us whites in particular
We played this over the loud speakers every morning in Afganistan, it drove the Sand N#####s crazy. They would run out waving their guns in the air and we would shoot them.
@vigo894 My great grandfather came to Texas in 1859 with his dad. My dad was born in Texas and while I don't live in Texas there is,somewhere deep a bit of Texas. Texas is Texas. It's not the land of milk and honey, its one of courage, honor, integrity, hard work, freedom, liberty and honesty. Texas is hot and dusty and as General Sherman said,,who burned down great grandma's Lydia's Kentucky home. "If I owned both hell and Texas, I'd rent out Texas and live in hell. Gotta be honest.

we have lost many allies in our war and we will not recover if we do not have more support
Yes we all know about the African-American Prostitute that was the original song thats why they re-wrote the song because they dident want to offend people
All of these people talking about a half breed?? Who cares? In my mind the Yellow Rose of Texas looks like the doll at 2:27 and the millions of other gorgeous women here. Lets native Texans just keep quiet and keep the "secret" a secret.
I always thought this song was about a soldier's love for Texas, that the yellow rose was Texas. It would have been a stronger song if it was. Still a good song though.
another minstrel song with the words changed. i suppose now shes the sweetest little rosebud that texas ever new, instead of just the sweetest rose "this darky ever knew"
at least it doesnt change the meaning of the song. they completely changed the meaning of "my old kentucky home"

Only been to Texas twice - San Antonio, Hill Country and Houston - but had a wonderful time on both visits. It's a big, beautiful, proud state and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Great people, fun stuff to do, nice things to see - all in all, I loved Texas!

lets look at Texas History Gentleman, and who this song Y.R.O.T. was really written for and about. Her name was Emily Morgan, a slave girl owned by James Morgan and emily infiltrated Santa Ana;s camp just before Sam Houston's attack at San Jacinto and spiked Santa Ana's officers coffee with opium. she played up to him, and the Texans carried the day.
so when you hear this song, and think about Texas lets remember the slave girl who made it all happen. "I have spoken"
I heard that this song is written by a dane who was figthing together with Davy Crockett against Santa Ana.- but I dontk now if its true ? a nice song anyway,
About the language problem... without the spaniards coming here and teaching the american natives and first settlers how to write and read, probably this should be still a place for crows, snakes, and a country of illiterate and uneducated thieves. So, please, texans, approach your multicultural heritage and culture and be proud of your six flags: Remember the first one is the flag of Spain, and the second is the mexican one...
Emily D West was by all accounts a decent person despite some quibbles as to exactly what her employment may have been. I have no issue about her at all. But it is pure conjecture as to whether she is the person referred to in the song. BTW thanks for your courteous rely.
@RoadCaptainEntertain Honestly, these idiots just like to think that Texans are idiots because it just allows them to sleep better at night. Right now Texas is probably the strongest economy in the entire nation, and as we speak Cali license plates are flooding my city. Too bad they brought their broken ideologies and holier-than-thou attitudes with them while looking for work in my state. Liberals.....
@jonpetry That is true. Anyone who thinks this song is about a yellow flower is uninformed and naive. "Yellow" is a reference to the fact that she was mulatto. These whores were sometimes known as "high yaller" and were able to command a higher price in the brothels of the Wild West.
That is not true...It is not required to have ESL certification, but it does give teachers a leg up to know Spanish. I love Texas and while I have been to over half of our states...none can compare.
ive heard you cant get a school teaching job in texas unless you can speak spanish! If so thats crap hey you want to be american speak english! Time you texas folks step to the table! I love texas and all that go with it except the language bull!
@auntpittypattys In Texas, a person isn't required to be able to speak spanish to teach school. I have many friends that frequently speak spanish when I'm around but, since they have manners, they translate for me. Take out the rude behavior of those many others and there might not be the animosity.
@craigisbond007 Five out of seven teachers more than likely teach their students and encourage the students in their classes to all adopt the language of the land. This strengthens the core of America. Read history.
wellp, if ya feel so strongly bout that, then accept the fact that in the next 15-20 odd years or so when hispanics become the inevitable majority in this state, their children forced to learn in English immersion programs only, and be forced to learn english ASAP, I assure you we will live in a much more impoverished state.
What part of Texas are you from? My Guess, North of the Nueces River am I correct? As a border state, I say it's Texan's responsibility to embrace our Tejano heritage.
@CattleRanche In order to makle English the "only" language allowed anywhere in the US, You'd have to do away with a pesky little thing called the First Amendment. You remember that one, Freedom of Speech???
@CattleRanche If I'm stoopeed, its from all the head trauma I suffered at the hands of the nuns for seven fucking years! BTW, our 7th grade history books talked about President Eisenhower. That was 1973. So much for the quality education you get in Catholic school. We also had to share our science books with another class, so we couldn't take them home. ETC, But wait, so shortage of material for Catholic Indoctrination class!!! Don't forget the totally senile nun we had in 5th grade. Larnt nutin
@auntpittypattys In Texas, as well as the US as a whole, proper English speaking people capitalize words such as "Spanish", 'American", "English:, and "Texas". Just thought you'd like to know.
i can't imagine living anywhere else on the planet than Texas. such a beautiful big historic and epic place. we've got it all. beautiful women, big cities, small towns, coasts, mountains, plains, woodlands, naval harbors, air bases, industry, farms, ranches, space stations....the very envy of not just the rest of america but the whole world. deep down everyone wishes they were Texans. toughest and kindest people on the planet. as close to heaven and earth can get....and home of the COWBOYS!!
I cannot agree with you anymore. I have come my country in Asia , I don't think I could have received a better and warmer welcome and a sense of belonging . Away from home I found my second home in Houston , TX . And indeed when time came to move I refused a much better paying job in CA just to take up a job here in TX. Hail TX an yeah now away from home I too am a Texan and I always say 'Don't mess with TX" :D
absolutely not!! you will never feel so welcome anywhere you've ever been. don't come unless you want to move because you will love it here. ssshhhh.....just don't tell the anyone else....hahaha
@mohinderbauer I am from jersey also its a liberal state ,hope Chris Crissy CAN HELP!Don't y'all have a BIG mexican problem, i know we do. R and d both sides wont do any thing to help, they let them take our jobs disrespect our languige .
@awhitecouple If you want to be an American and take part in this wonderful success story of a people then do so. If you choose otherwise then leave and go to where you are better suited. Only stupidity would deter you and slow your departure.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You people are fucking savages, living in a time long ago.
Texas should be given back to Mexico, the original owners.
In case you were not aware, Texas is a national embarrassment, home of Charles Whitman, Waco, the execution of Kennedy, and many other senseless acts of violence, take your fucking pick. You destroyed our culture!
All Texans are fucking hippocrates and useless fucking germs!
Ummm...the original owners Einstien was the Comachie, Huaco, Alabama-Coushatta, Karakawa and Cherokee tribes (among orthers). Spain later took the land by force who later gave it up to the Mexicans by force, who gave it up to the Texans by force.
Mexico only owned what is now Texas for a short time.
Perhaps a vocabulary above that of a 6th grader would help you better express your infinate knowledge of Texas history to us "Savages".
@RoadCaptainEntertain Where is England in that history? Why do you have that love for the English language? Remember that USA has not an official language like other countries have. People just use English nowadays, probably in fifty years spanish is going to be more spoken ... why not? what´s the big deal?
@paturcas In the 19th century, many ballots in Texas were bilingual. And the second language was GERMAN!!! (Lotsa German settlers in central Texas back in the day!!!)
@RoadCaptainEntertain Actually, The Alabama Coushatta relocated to Texas after Spain owned it. Same for the Cherokee. In fact, the Cherokee were invited by the Mexican government to serve as a buffer bwteen the US and Mexico. Just sayin'
Texas is the land of the bold, dont knock them because of their success and subsequent power. Most of that shit you brought up has to do with things more complex (and Federal) than Texas.
And I disagree that they should have given it back to Mexico. I think they should have pushed them back South and took the whole fucking thing, have you seen the mess THEY made of what they kept?
I dont think we could've pushed the mexican army back much more, though they would be leaderless they still had a pretty hefty army. Hell the only reason we won the Battle of San Jacinto was cause we attacked the Mexicans while they where napping.
savages, have you ever even been to Texas, also Texas is very important to the USA, Its the #1 producer of beef, it supplies quite a bit of oil, has one of the nations largest seaports (Houston)
@graidstin Never been there would love to some day, BORDERS,LAUNGE,CAULTURE! I think i read TX. has the biggest wind farms in the country,or even the world. GOD bless Texas and JOE HORN an AMERICIN HERO, Who protected his neighbors property from 3 illegal cubans , This man did what our BORDER PATROLE is not allowed to.
I hope you get to visit my fair state of texas I really enjoy it here wouldnt want to live anywhere else. Its a great, unique state with rich history. Though if youre more intrested in the culture aspect I would reccomend going to San Antonio, just hope you enjoy Texas as much as I do.
@alinsatx When the first white settelrs arrived in Texas, led by Steve Austin, there were only 2,000 Indians in Texas. Why so few? It seems the Spanish did a very thorough job of killing them off and.or selling them into slavery.
@xcellken1 you mist be from public school !! re read the history, the REAL ONE !! 2000 ? get real...by the time austin got here, the settlers were already here !! gees..spaniards ARE white !!!
@alinsatx You must be from Catholic School. How often did the nuns beat you? Actually, I should have said ANGLOS. Is that better? Most ANGLOS didn't consider Spaniards too white back then. The number 2000 came from a book written about the History of Fort Bend County, Texas. My client, Imperial Sugar, had it in their lobby. If you want to take issue wioth that number, take it up with them
@CattleRanche You can´t imagine living anywhere because you don´t know anything about the world and the quality of life of people. In my country nobody envy you guys. Believe me. I am living in Texas for a couple of years and it is interesting and amazing to discover the people and the country but.... it doesn´t mean that I would like to live here forever... not at all.
1livingdeadgirl, why would you associate Texan pride with 'white pride'? What the hell does that have to do with anything? Are you aware of how culturally diverse Texan cities like the Metroplex are, or are you just being ignorant?
Born in San Antonio, about as Native Texan as you can get. Our family has been in Texas since the 1840s, and we don't plan to leave. God bless our beloved Texas!
@Verdunhunter Over the yeras, I've known three people whose ancestors were here since the Sapnish. One was given a land grant by the King of Spain. But in the eyes of rednecks, they're just Mexicans, no different than the illegal alien that arrived yesterday/

@RoadCaptainEntertain
Emily D West was by all accounts a decent person despite some quibbles as to exactly what her employment may have been. I have no issue about her at all. But it is pure conjecture as to whether she is the person referred to in the song. BTW thanks for your courteous rely.

@RoadCaptainEntertain Honestly, these idiots just like to think that Texans are idiots because it just allows them to sleep better at night. Right now Texas is probably the strongest economy in the entire nation, and as we speak Cali license plates are flooding my city. Too bad they brought their broken ideologies and holier-than-thou attitudes with them while looking for work in my state. Liberals.....

@jonpetry That is true. Anyone who thinks this song is about a yellow flower is uninformed and naive. "Yellow" is a reference to the fact that she was mulatto. These whores were sometimes known as "high yaller" and were able to command a higher price in the brothels of the Wild West.

@jonpetry Being a slave and/or indentured servant, I don't think she had much choice in the matter, so I'd hardly call her a prostitute.

@auntpittypattys In Texas, a person isn't required to be able to speak spanish to teach school. I have many friends that frequently speak spanish when I'm around but, since they have manners, they translate for me. Take out the rude behavior of those many others and there might not be the animosity.

wellp, if ya feel so strongly bout that, then accept the fact that in the next 15-20 odd years or so when hispanics become the inevitable majority in this state, their children forced to learn in English immersion programs only, and be forced to learn english ASAP, I assure you we will live in a much more impoverished state.
What part of Texas are you from? My Guess, North of the Nueces River am I correct? As a border state, I say it's Texan's responsibility to embrace our Tejano heritage.

You people are fucking savages, living in a time long ago.
Texas should be given back to Mexico, the original owners.
In case you were not aware, Texas is a national embarrassment, home of Charles Whitman, Waco, the execution of Kennedy, and many other senseless acts of violence, take your fucking pick. You destroyed our culture!
All Texans are fucking hippocrates and useless fucking germs!
IamTheBeginning 2 years ago
Ummm...the original owners Einstien was the Comachie, Huaco, Alabama-Coushatta, Karakawa and Cherokee tribes (among orthers). Spain later took the land by force who later gave it up to the Mexicans by force, who gave it up to the Texans by force.
Mexico only owned what is now Texas for a short time.
Perhaps a vocabulary above that of a 6th grader would help you better express your infinate knowledge of Texas history to us "Savages".

@RoadCaptainEntertain Where is England in that history? Why do you have that love for the English language? Remember that USA has not an official language like other countries have.

Texas is the land of the bold, dont knock them because of their success and subsequent power. Most of that shit you brought up has to do with things more complex (and Federal) than Texas.
And I disagree that they should have given it back to Mexico. I think they should have pushed them back South and took the whole fucking thing, have you seen the mess THEY made of what they kept?
Looloo23able 2 years ago 4
I dont think we could've pushed the mexican army back much more, though they would be leaderless they still had a pretty hefty army. Hell the only reason we won the Battle of San Jacinto was cause we attacked the Mexicans while they where napping.

@alinsatx When the first white settelrs arrived in Texas, led by Steve Austin, there were only 2,000 Indians in Texas. Why so few? It seems the Spanish did a very thorough job of killing them off and.or selling them into slavery.

@alinsatx You must be from Catholic School. How often did the nuns beat you? Actually, I should have said ANGLOS. Is that better? Most ANGLOS didn't consider Spaniards too white back then. The number 2000 came from a book written about the History of Fort Bend County, Texas. My client, Imperial Sugar, had it in their lobby. If you want to take issue wioth that number, take it up with them
