p.s a reminder that the state is no longer one of longtime stereotype

Texas has one of the largest African-American populations in the country.[5] African Americans are concentrated in northern, eastern and east-central Texas as well as the Dallas, Houston and San Antonio metropolitan areas.[6] African Americans form 24 percent of both the cities of Dallas and Houston, 19% of Fort Worth, 8.1 percent of Austin, and 7.5 percent of San Antonio. The African American population in Texas is increasing due to the New Great Migration.[5][7] In addition to the descendants of the state's former slave population, many African American college graduates have come to the state for work recently in the New Great Migration..
