“We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.”

A ) Founding document of the KKK.
B ) The Southern Racist’s Bible.
C ) Texas Declaration of causes for secession, February 2, 1861.

Hint: There are more important things to do than quibble about history, for example: voter suppression around Austin.
