The following is the speech I was thinking of giving. I am posting it because it seems that the tide has turned on Confederate monuments and we are losing. I think Dallas needs to consider what is going to happen long term if other cities have gotten rid of their monuments and Dallas still has theirs.
The text of the proposed speech:
Scarecrows are objects used to scare
birds away.
Cities all over this nation are
taking down their Confederate monuments.
If Dallas’s Confederate monuments
remain they will be scarecrows.
Scarecrows to warn people to stay
away.
Scarecrows warning that this is a
city without a human rights commission.
Scarecrows warning that this is a
city with an intentionally ineffective police review board.
Scarecrows warning that this is a
city where the elite have their wedding celebrations in a Robert E. Lee
plantation mansion in a Robert E. Lee Park.
Scarecrows warning that this is a
White Metropolis.
Scarecrows warning that this is a
city without a spirit of social justice but just Accomodations with Federal
Civil Rights Court orders.
Hearkening back to the assassination
of John F. Kennedy, scarecrows warning that behind a smiling mask this is still
the city of hate.
We are better than that, let us have
no Confederate scarecrows in this city.
Thank you.
