  1. For the millionth time, the original poem that the lyrics are based on: They watch above you all the day, the bright blue eyes of Texas. At midnight they’re with you all the way, the sleepless eyes of Texas. The eyes of Texas are upon you, all the livelong day. The eyes of Texas are upon you. They’re with you all the way. They watch you through the peaceful night. They watch you in the early dawn, when from the eastern skies the high light, tells that the night is gone. Sing me a song of Texas, and Texas’ myriad eyes. Countless as the bright stars, that fill the midnight skies. Vandyke brown, vermillion, sepia, Prussian blue, Ivory black and crimson lac, and eyes of every hue. I'll keep singin' it. https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/ut-austin-eyes-of-texas-song-racist/

  4. “Four days before the Jan. 28 demonstration, a group of black student leaders met in private and proposed writing black high school football recruits about the perceived racial hostilities at A&M if the athletic department did not take a public stand on a brewing controversy. On Jan. 14, the student newspaper, the Battalion, published an editorial cartoon that was perceived by many as racist. Bowen publicly denounced it a few days later and asked the newspaper to apologize. Slocum and Watkins had not spoken out about the cartoon, even though most of their star athletes are black. The proposal to write the recruits was discussed about two weeks before national signing day, when sought-after high school athletes decide where to play college football. "We thought it would be unconscionable to allow the athletes to come here without knowing what the racial climate would be like," said Bereket Bisrat, a Houston sophomore who is the spokesman for A&M's African-American Student Coalition.” That's from 2002.
  5. Last I checked, Mississippi *continues to ride roughshod over its communities of color...but, hey, the flag changed. * and Texas
  6. If your thesis is true, then the proponents to do away with the song are truly misguided on how to effect actual meaningful change in society. That is a travesty because actual change is needed. Signed, A Former Minority UT Student
