Believe it or not, it's a western suburb of Fort Worth.

Disgusting.

I know where that is but don't know the ..."rest of the story".  What up?

White Settlement was named by the community back in the 1800s to let people know it was safe from Indian attacks... which were very popular back then. And the vote to change the name was soundly defeated by over 90% of the population and that means all races wanted to keep the name because of it's historical significance not because of racial bias against non-whites. If I remember right the Mayor who pushed the issue on the ballot got in trouble for doing so with the townspeople and supposedly was in a fight to keep his job. It was a very unpopular decision to put it up for a vote. I think the Mayor thought the name was driving off business because people would think the town was racist. Now in the days of "PC" everyone is just so touchy about everything.

Sorry for the history lesson but I had a friend from there and I could tell everyone was putting on their "I Hate White Settlement" hats due to "PC".

Thx for the history lesson.  I was pretty sure the name wasn't based on hatin', but I couldn't remember the story.

Swanny

I am really sorry to hear that. We will keep her family in our prayers...

[fastwin]

Please tell Amy how sorry we are to hear of the loss of her Grandfather. She and her family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Doesn't seem like a day goes by that one of us around here mentions Jen's Dad who passed right before Thanksgiving last year. At least now the things that stand out are the funny, quirky, humorous things he did or said. That's progress and healing. That's the way we should remember those who have passed. The things that made us smile and laugh. Not the pain or sorry that life sometimes makes us go through... just the good stuff. That's the way we all want to be remembered. Hope Amy and her family reach that point in time quickly. Again, our sympathies.

fastwin and family
