Dallas Needs a Human Rights Commission: Sign the petition! Update: Fort Worth Commission adds LGBTQ advisory board.
Fort Worth has had one since 1967.
Dallas has a human right office in the city management, but it does not have a human rights commission.
Don’t let anyone bamboozel you into thinking that an office run by employees is the same as a commission with members appointed by the city council.

We need a human rights commission.
Fort Worth has had a human rights commission since 1967. The following is a annual report they issue. This one is for 2020 issued on Jan. 26, 2021.
Most cities of any size have a Human Rights Commission for the same purpose, but not Dallas.
The advantages of addressing local human rights issues at the local level by local people is fairly obvious. I don’t think I need to explain it. I am going to focus in this post are how minority leaders evade the call to have a Dallas Human Rights Commission and other reasons why we don’t have one. It would be a huge benefit for everyone in the City of Dallas.
I would like to point out that a Human Rights Commission might have some ideas of reducing the possibility of a shooting massacre in Dallas. They might support having a Hate Crimes Unit in the Dallas Police Dept. [See link to post on having a hate crimes unit at the end of this post.]
Update: Two articles about the Fort Worth Human Relations Commission forming an LGBTQ Advisory board.
People just assume that Dallas has a human rights commission.
Since almost every city of any size has a human rights commission, people just assume that Dallas has one. People are often quite surprised that Dallas doesn’t have one. Also, the “progressives” and other leaders who you would think would be supporting having a human rights commission don’t bring the topic up. They don’t want to be on the naughty list of the Dallas establishment.
Thus, the subject doesn’t come up and people that would be supportive of there being a human rights commission don’t know that there isn’t one.
The first task is to agitate this issue and let people know there isn’t a human rights commission.
One of the side benefits of a campaign for a Human Rights Commission is we will learn who are advocates for civil rights and social justice and who are pretending to be one and cosplaying being one for the media.
Primary Excuse: There isn’t enough support on the City Council to pass an ordinance to set up a Human Rights Commission.
I recently brought up at a public meeting the need for a human rights commission in 2022.
The response what from the Dallas City Council member was that he was supportive, but to get a bill passed you needed to have eight city council members in support and though he thought it was a great idea, he couldn’t do it by himself. The conclusion the listener is supposed to then draw is that it is a great idea, but it can’t be done.
What is astounding about this is that this City Council member is claiming that a majority of the Dallas City Council in the year 2022 would not support having a Human Rights Commission. If this is really true, it means that Dallas is still the creepy place that it was in the past and we should warn people nationally not to move to Dallas.
I think also, if it is true that there aren’t eight out of 15 people to vote for a human rights commission, a bill should be submitted so we know which members of the Dallas City Council would not support a human rights commission. We don’t want to be voting for people who don’t support having a human rights commission.
I suspect that in order to avoid a national black eye, a majority of the members of the Dallas City Council would vote for an ordinance to establish a human rights commission even if they are against it.
If it was in the news, it still would be a struggle. There would be delaying tactics and technicalities would be clutched at, and maybe the first human rights commission would be a sham like the Dallas Community Police Review board.
Secondary Excuse: It will be a weak human rights commission like the Community Police Review board.
Even so, any complaint of discrimination submitted to them, any report on human rights problems given to them would become part of the official record and they would have to do some response. Businesses, firms, employers probably don’t want to be on record with a Dallas Human Rights Commission as having a complaint. The private victimization of someone becomes part of the official record.
Even if a weak human rights commission is created, its ongoing failure to take effective action can be a point of review and agitation forcing a strengthened commission.
About those excuses.
A lot of the people cosplaying being a social justice warrior or something will find one reason or another why it is hopeless to get a human rights commission or if we got one it wouldn’t work. What the real issue is that they don’t want to confront the establishment, though in some cases they are lazy.
Call for Action
Dallas needs to have a human rights commission. It would greatly benefit the city.
Also, in the struggle for a human rights commission, we will quickly reveal who are the collusionists cosplay as progressives, civil rights leaders and radicals.
The whole culture of progressive politics in the City of Dallas could change. For the Gay community it would be the end of the dominance of the Pink Mafia set and their successors.
We must have a human rights commission.
