Texas has great schools. All that culcha from Louisiana has taken its toll however.
Because Houston and Dallas don't have black people.........
A better argument might be that Houston and Dallas have done their growing post-jim crow. Houston proper went from 900,000 in 1960 to the 2 mil today.
The entire state of Louisiana has added ~1.4 mil+ in that same time period.

The thing with houston is we have them but if you go inner loop river oaks,west u,memorial you dont see them at all. You also dont have boats in driveways in these nice areas. Houston is really good about keeping the good parts good. West U has its own police, River Oaks has the RoPo and there is never any crime in those parts, literally lived in west u my whole life im 36 now and the only murder was that railroad killer killing 1 woman 20 years ago. In New Orleans, even nice areas, you're at risk all day/everyday.

Lol I went to an inner-city high school. Very urban. Black people from Louisiana are the worst. And I'm black. After Katrina, public high schools in Texas were facing a dilemma.

The planter class/landowner class still rule in Louisiana. They have a lot of influence the middle and lower middle class in this state, consequently they get them to vote against their own best interest.
It's laughable to try and blame black people for the states woes, when black people literally control nothing in Louisiana .
