KISS MY " SWEET AAAAAVERMENTS" SEE YOU IN COURT!!

This member has got the fortitude to stand up and fight and be counted in the ongoing effort to bring recognition to Our United stand and his and the young lady member also stands strong for a better tomorrow.
I am at this time bringing to conclusion our response to Dispositive Motion hearing for February , 22,2:30 pm, Please attend and show your support.The three entities who have denied our civil right to ask for Affirmative Action Law to be implemented are going to try to wiggle like a snake and talk like one while we want to utilize the laws at hand (Afffirmative Action)that also apply to us and not just the ones these blackrobes toss us into incarceration with.

These three entities named in the suit are depending on a institutionally racist court system to make it legal to deny our right to JOBS!!!!! Similarly like all the land deals that took our ability to exact self determination and meet our needs instead creating reservations that became quite legal. It is fun to watch the White Man play God and his time is coming my brothers and sisters.This lawsuit is an offer to work together and correct the biases that keep our mutual humanitarian needs unmet ,yet all he can see is he needs to be right ,this article says it all.

American Indian issues belittled by the media

This is in response to the article pertaining to the GOP forum Tuesday night. It portrayed Nicole Beaulieu as unaware or uneducated of the negative and positive effects of the affirmative action policies of Minnesota. In fact, as native people and people socially victimized by these institutional racist hiring practices present here in our community, the law of affirmative action is our only outlet to speak out against our discrepancies of injustice.

We are in no way questioning the integrity of the non-native worker, but when we make up a large percentage of Bemidji’s population, and we are only a very small fraction of Bemidji’s workforce, then something is wrong here. When we have people with the proper training and education seeking the same jobs as non-natives, but we’re overlooked on the simple assumptions that we are in some way under qualified or not properly adherent to task as our non-native counterparts, then forgive me for taking offense to the retort of the fact that native people are qualified to manage more than court dates.

The Pioneer has no problem whatsoever criminalizing our population with brazen printings of any of our social downfalls, making our problems public and encouraging propaganda within our community based on race relations with the native people of Bemidji. I spoke with Mr. Herwig after the forum and we discussed many things pertaining to the mistreatment of native peoples in this area. I shook his hand and walked away feeling like we established a rapport and a new understanding between us and the problems we face together here in Minnesota, let alone Bemidji. I do not believe Mr. Herwig would appreciate being represented and portrayed as an opponent of human rights, and equality based on his standpoint of affirmative action.

That’s what I am left feeling when our issues are distorted and belittled by the press, but nonetheless, my colleagues and I will diligently pursue justice and equality for natives throughout Minnesota, regardless of the shadows of injustice that shroud our struggle for equality.

This community can ignore its ugly past in dealing with the Ojibwe people, but they can’t ignore its current state of racist degradation victimizing the Native Americans that just so happen to call Bemidji “home.”
