Sam Houston was an unapologetic slave owner and the defenders of the Alamo fought to preserve slavery in Texas

EXCLUSIVE -- If you recall our recent interview (August 23, 2017) with community activist Yusef Y was terminated abruptly when a couple of cops showed up to arrest him for failure to appear on numerous tickets he got for traffic offenses and parking violations.
Yusef contacted us and said he bailed out of jail and wanted to continue the interview. He told us that since now they’ve begun to remove all the Confederate monuments in the country, he’s going to go after Sam Houston and the Alamo.
“Sam Houston was a slave owner,” said Yusef, “and the motherfucker never apologized for it. The motherfucking cracker took pro-slavery positions while he was a fucking senator or fucking governor. The fucking constitution he helped write, protected slavery in the new fucking country of fucking Texas.”
“Them crackers wanted to form their own country because Mexico had abolished slavery,” continued Yusef, “and they were afraid they would have to give up their slaves. And Houston was their motherfucking leader.”
Yousef will demand that the city of Houston change its name. “I don’t give a fuck what the fuck they call it as long as it doesn’t honor a motherfucking slave owner or fucking Confederate soldier. And the same goes for that college in Huntsville ….. that’s Sam Houston State University, I fucking believe. And they gotta get rid of all statues of that motherfucker Houston. And they gotta change the names of all parks, streets and buildings named after that fucking peckerwood.”
Next Yusef Y turned his attention to the Alamo. Apparently he read a novel – “Escape from Texas” - by, James W. Russell, sociology professor at Eastern Connecticut State University, in which Russell wrote that the heroes of the Alamo were trying to keep the Mexicans, who had abolished slavery in 1829, at bay so that the Texans could keep their slaves. Asa matter of fact, Joe, the personal slave of William Travis, was the only person to survive the fall of the Alamo.
“The fucking Alamo has gotta go,” said Yusef. “Doze it into fucking dust. It hurts us fucking black people to see a shrine dedicated to a bunch of fucking peckerwoods who fought to preserve fucking slavery in motherfucking Texas. Turn the empty space where the Alamo used to stand into a fucking parking lot with a big statue of that motherfucker Santa Ana in the middle. Fuck, most of the fucking people that live in San Antonio are fucking Mexicans and those motherfuckers would be all for putting that fucking statue of Santa Ana where the fucking Alamo used to stand.”
Suddenly another black man burst into our office and shouted, “Yusef, they’re hauling your fucking car away from that fire hydrant!” And that ended our interview as the community activist and ex-con shot out of the building like a bolt of lightning.
