Neo-Confederate goes bonkers

The Landmark Commission voted 10 to 5 to rule the Confederate Monument was not part of some technicality so it could be removed.

At the end there was some entertainment when a neo-Confederate went bonkers. They really are outraged that their little delusions are no longer taken seriously.

I did hand out to all the Landmark Commission members a 159 page history of the monument. If they had voted against renewal I wanted them to know what they were supporting.  I also wanted them to know that I do fairly deep research and get the word out and about that I do so.

This rather surprising argument was given by Donald Payton, the only African American member of the Landmark Commission.

Donald Payton, the only black member of the Landmark Commission, said it was beyond time for the memorial’s removal. He said Dallas will still have streets, building and schools that honor those who fought for the Confederacy. 

“If they think [this memorial is] the only thing in this city that’s a memory to the Confederate dead, we’ve got more than enough,” Payton said.

Of course we will be going after the streets and buildings and schools. The John H. Reagan school needs to be changed and since Austin ISD changed theirs, I will be writing Dallas ISD to get their John H. Reagan school changed. I have been writing up the history of the wretch individuals for whom some schools are named.

You also got to see the Old Guard of Dallas cultural institutions show up. It is good that they learned that they don't count anymore and are relics of the past. Former Landmark Commission Chair Reaves-Poggi you are a relic of racist Dallas.
