MISSOULA FIGHTS RACISM ? I dont think so




While Racism continues to grow in the predominant liberal Democrat community of Bozeman Montana where the City is run by predominantly white owned business and large corporations who have kept most of management Caucasian and Christian
A city and county that has refused to investigate improper treatment of minorities in the workplace and in housing. Where just a week ago a Mexican immigrant who was working in the rich white community of Big Sky, Montana. (Home of such white Democrat Liberals like Bill Gates, Jane Fonda, Ted Turner.) The Mexican man died Tuesday on a construction site at the exclusive Yellowstone Club at Big Sky. The death was not really covered in depth by the local media who has ignored racism, bigotry and exploitation of minorities.

A media campaign fighting racism has earned the Missoula YWCA a national award and will now be used as a model for similar campaigns in communities across the United States.
The first ad featured a montage of people of color saying: “If you're Native American, Asian-American, Arab-American or African-American, you know that racism hasn't gone away.” A white woman then asks: “So, if you're a white American living in Montana today, what does racism mean to you?”

The ad ends with this message: “Racism can be subtle. And none of us are racist. Until we really think about it. So let's think about it. Because racism hurts everyone.”

Critics of the ad who happen to be white and live in predominantly white neighborhoods and work at predominantly white run businesses found the ad’s objectionable, what a surprise.
DVDs of the Missoula commercials are currently awaiting air time in 70 different communities. Kathy Kniep, executive director of the Clark County YWCA in Vancouver, Wash., expects to get them up and running in her region sometime next year.

“The ads raise a sensitive issue in a way that allows people to really listen and begin to understand what the issue is,” Kniep said. “For a lot of people, the concept of white privilege is a new concept, a different way of thinking about racism.”

The Missoula campaign was chosen as a national model in large part because it aims to reach a broad sector of the population



I myself since coming to Bozeman have seen many examples of Racism, while working at Wyndham Hotels I was told by one Wyndham Hotel Manger that he “hated Towel heads and wanted to spit in their food and put glass in their beds. At mostly every Wyndham Hotel that I had experience with in Montana. Profiling was not out of the ordinary. Asians were stereotyped as being liars, dirty and allegedly would load their rooms with people and cook in their rooms.

Another Wyndham Hotel in Bozeman actually told me that even though we were not supposed to profile. He described what people were okay to charge larger deposits.

The living conditions for many workers who take seasonal jobs are horrible and are often filled with two or three families in dirty rundown housing that may not have smoke alarms, clean bathrooms, etc.

I lived in a company housing in West Yellowstone at a Wyndham Hotel that had swastikas and satanic symbols on the walls and mold growing out of the carpeting.

Companies which hang such banners as Wyndham hotel, under pay and mistreat employees while raking in big dollars from tourists. The tourists who have no idea of how racist the cities are, or how minorities are often called racist names. Where many tourists and natives pollute the park and towns with loud, dirty, dangerous snowmobiles
That has destroyed the natural beauty of the park

The Governor of Montana who has taken campaign dollars from big business has made workers compensation laws that favor big business and punish the injured work. The white Governor who talks proudly of a state heritage that is really not much different than that of Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany. The mass killings and imprisonment of Native Americans have ethnically cleansed communities like Bozeman Montana of Native Americans and other minorities. Where Native Americans were executed, placed in concentration camps and Tribal Chiefs were taunted and emasculated by those wonderful white Montana settlers

Ignorance of the so called Liberal populous who claim to care about minorities and the homeless are part of the growing class of pretend to care Liberal NIMBYS who talk about caring and programs as long as those people are not brought into their neighborhoods.

So Bozeman like most Montana cities are filled with White Business owners who relieve their guilt by driving 20 mpg hybrid cars and have symbolic events such as eating beans and rice and sleeping in a park in a cardboard box on a warm night toe experience the plight of the marginalized
