The date? March 6th, 1836. Location? The Alamo in San Antonio. Few people know the truth about this so I will illuminate it for you. My cousin Denise was kind enough to share this historical perspective with me. I had no idea Texans were so racist.

Early in the morning that fateful day, David Crockett arose from his slumbers in the bunk room on the main floor of the Alamo. After grabbing a cup of chicory, he ascended to the observation post on the west wall.

Colonel William B. Travis and James Bowie were already there sipping their espressos and gazing out at an immense horde of Mexicans advancing towards them. David joined them and, as they sipped their Joe and observed, wrinkled his brow and asked

“Jim, by any chance are we having some landscaping done this morning?”
