Olney, Texas is located in the northwest part of Texas. This town has extremely racist vibes. While traveling home from Dallas, we had to stop here to use the restroom at a gas station. While stopped we noticed that there weren't very many minorities located anywhere. While using the restroom multiple people in our party noticed that we were getting very dirty and ugly looks. After we left, my grandfather revealed that black people used to go missing in this area with no history of it. I also researched and found that of the 3,007 people in the town, the black population is only .80% of the town population. Yes,8 tenths, maybe 20-25 black people, if that. They have successfully made their town as white washed as possible.
During the 2022 football season, Wichita Falls Hirschi(predominantly black) played at Graham, Texas(predominantly white). Prior to the game there was a history of Graham decorating locker rooms for black teams with paper trees, monkeys and bananas all over the locker room as decor. Also, there were numerous racial comments made by Graham parents which made Dave Campbells shut down their entire discussion board across the state. The game arrived and during the game again players were subjected to more racial comments during play. Finally, after a dirty tackle by a Graham player, the Hirschi players had enough. They began to defend their teammate and an all out bench clearing brawl ensued. The fallout from this game included only Hirschi being disciplined by the district chair. Not because of the fight but because a minority kid from Graham, transferred to Hirschi prior to the season so they found a type of loophole to only hold the minority team accountable. I have included a few links below. This is an ongoing issue with Graham Texas.
