Gov. Schweitzer Accuses Montanans of Racism
Says He Expects to Hear Outrageously Racist Comments in Public

09/05/12

BY DUSTIN HURST

Politico recently wrote that Montana Governor. Brian Schweitzer’s rhetorical prowess is a valuable asset and a dangerous liability for his future political ambitions.

Case in point: On July 28, Schweitzer delivered the keynote address at the Ohio Democratic Party’s annual dinner. In the speech, he told a gripping tale of his grandmother immi-grating to the United States to start a new life.
Riveting.

In the same address, Schweitzer dipped into darker rhetoric, casting white Montanans as racist toward American Indians.
Through his 30-minute speech to Ohio Democrats, Schweitzer repeatedly boasted of his gubernatorial achievements, putting special emphasis on the Indian Education for All project. Schweitzer spearheaded the program, which requires Montana school children to learn both American-Indian and U.S. history.

Why did Schweitzer shepherd the innovative and groundbreaking program? Well, because many Montanans are white, racist rednecks—the governor’s words.

“All over Montana, you can walk into a bar, a café or even a school or a courthouse and just listen for a while as people talk to each other,” Schweitzer explained, shortly after noting 93 percent of his state’s population is classified as Caucasian. “And you will hear somebody, before very long, say something outrageously racist about the people who’ve lived in Montana for 10,000 years.”

Why-- its old news and was posted on here when it occurred.... I believe racism/bigotry exists at one level or another in this whole country....But I don't believe I've seen anything in this state that comes close to the videos that came out of Alabama in the 50's- 60's...
No wonder you try to avoid the subject and point attacks at someone else....

As you can see- when this was originally posted- the attack was quickly switched from the racist activity to an attack Oldtimer post to cover up their failure to admit to themselves what is happening..

Just to update you-- on Friday I got the honor to perform the wedding ceremony at my friends Assiniboine wifes beautiful daughters wedding ...

I suppose that should be enough to bring on another load of rightwingernut nasty remarks and attacks... :wink: :roll: :(
