Dallas | Is the Dallas Citizens Council for the citizens or the corporations?

On the day of the elections, Rich Sheridan and myself were making rounds downtown passing out information for different political races around this city.So I decided to take some information to the power brokers of Dallas!We ride the elevators up to the 62nd floor with no problems; ring the door bell and out comes the most prejudiced white female I've ever saw in my life.

She comes to the door not with a smile but mugging like hell.So we ask her could we come in, she replied to the negative.Then we hand her the printout about the Dallas DA protecting pedophiles, she replied that they weren't political(lol), I guess only when it's time to shove their appointed mayor down our throats.So we then ask her did they have any information on the Dallas Citizens Council, to which she responded in the negative.So we get back on elevator, get downstairs and we are DETAINED by the DPD and building management.

My family has been here since the 1800's(Overton Rd) and as a lifelong resident of Dallas, I know for a fact that the Dallas Citizens Council has never had the Negroes best interest at hand.As a matter of fact, President John F. Kennedy was on his way to speak in front of the DCC right before he was fatally wounded in downtown Dallas just a few hundred yards from Interstate 35, in which his motorcade would have proceeded northbound to the Dallas World Trade Center where he was scheduled to speak before the Dallas Citizens Council.

Coincidence, hell no, these again are the POWER BROKERS of Dallas.Kennedy is going to come down here and tell us how to deal with our Negroes, hell no, we don't have any problems in our our city and don't you bring that Yankee shit to Dallas, is my perception of the whole Kennedy assassination.


I mean you can still see the remnants of the founders of this organization,Banker Robert L. Thornton was the head of the local Klan and has a freeway named after him, coincidentally it's Interstate 35 the same freeway Kennedy's motorcade failed to reach by a few yards.

The north/south racial divide in Dallas is still very much visible.They also have used eminent domain to remove blacks from certain neighborhoods and if you didn't sale, they would bomb your church, house, or both.This just happened in the 80's(State/Thomas area), so if you're not from around these parts I suggest you learn what has transpired in this EVIL, HATEFUL, PREJUDICED town.






The son of the founder of Neiman Marcus(Stanley Marcus) was a member.Leaders from American Airlines, Exxon/Mobil, Dallas Cowboys, AT&T, Wells Fargo, and many other MAJOR companies are members of the DCC.HOW CAN THIS COUNCIL BE FOR THE CITIZENS, WHEN MOST OF THE MEMBERSHIP ARE MAJOR CORPORATE HEADS?IS THIS FASCISM AT IT'S FINEST;disguised as a good cause?Stay tuned more to come!

Chairman’s Message
Since its founding in 1937, the Dallas Citizens Council has championed issues that other organizations weren’t willing or able to take on. This year, though the economy is slowly recovering and budgets are down, we must continue to invest in projects that will position the city for success in the future.

Issues such as transportation, education, health care and long-range water supply are just a few of the areas in which we have historically worked and will continue to work. North Texas fared comparatively well throughout the recession, but if we are to maintain our stability and growth, we must continue to invest in key issues to make it an attractive place for both citizens and businesses.

In fact, one of our biggest opportunities in North Texas continues to be bringing new companies and organizations to the area. By educating companies about the benefits of being located in the area, including easy access to transportation through our roads system, DFW International Airport and DART; our new arts district and expanding cultural influence; a low cost of living; an educated workforce; a favorable tax climate; excellent health care facilities and more, we can continue to make our region the positive force it has become.

We will continue to advance the issues that would benefit our city and advocate for investments that will positively impact the quality of life in our community. To learn more about the issues that we care about, click here.

Despite the remaining challenges, now is the time to ensure our future.

Best,
Joel Allison
