Episode Description
Through Sunday's episode surrounding racist comments made about non-white Texas Longhorns fans, folks appear to be realizing what we've known for a long time - Bo French, GOP nominee for Texas Railroad Commission, is an admitted, virulent racist - and placing a vote for him in November supports the institutional racism that plagues our state.
