Dodson then opened up about her personal story.
“One of my proudest moments was when I walked into that welfare office and told them, ‘I don’t need these food stamps anymore. I can feed myself and my son,'” she said. “Fast-forward 38 years. I own 17 homes right here in Wichita Falls […] and run a bed and breakfast. I have made a success out of my life out of hard work and perseverance.”
Dodson credited her success to working hard, adding that the monument did nothing to hinder her.
“My success came in and happened in spite of that rock sitting in the front yard of Memorial Auditorium,” she continued. “It’s just a rock, it’s not good, not bad. It don’t have the ability to be racist. And it don’t have control over anybody. It’s just a rock.”
Not stopping there, Dodson said that it would be ridiculous for the city council to remove the statue, as they would only be helping cancel culture.
“The issue of removing the statue is a distraction and an excuse to dismantle this city,” she said. “If it comes down, there will be something else and something else and something else and something else to please these terrorist young folks.”
She also had some choice words for Black Lives Matter.
“If BLM wanted to help black people in the area, they could help with their needs, like paying the rent, putting food on the table,” Dodson added about Black Lives Matter. “That would be more beneficial.”
I wish SHE would run for office. GOP would be nice, but any party, just keep the same attitude. Each party has it’s naysayers and ‘happy with losing’ fatalists. She could be one of the leaders.
It ain’t nothing but a rock. AMEN.
What a woman, she shows why America is great, it gives you the opportunity. God Bless her, God Bless Texas, God Bless America.
Good for her!
Brava! Applause!
She’s got the picture. Sees it all.
May God continue to bless this wonderful woman and keep her safe.
But...but...Democrats only know what’s best for blacks...because they think all blacks are ignorant and helpless...what an Insult!
I heard this on the radio (Larry Elder?) about 1 1/2 weeks ago. She was brilliant and passionate, and her experience SHOULD be an inspiration to other people similarly situated today...if they, or the so-called “black leaders” were actually interested in having people succeed.
However, as she herself indicated, BLM and others like them have no such interest. They are race whores (my words, not hers) who prey on people and their bad situations rather than help them. They wear $3,000 suits, dine at fine restaurants and drive around in $50,000+ cars while the people whom they *purport* to help live in squalor with little or no hope of getting out of that situation.
Wichita Falls population is about 104 k folk
