@christina.bhic: I’m not talking about all Montanans. I’m saying the ones who boldly say “the locals hate you” like that’s going to put a pause in people’s plans 🤔 also I know the difference from ppl just starting small talk vs trying to police if I can be here or not🫶🏾 If this is #godscountry show some signs of that 👍 #montana #USA #406living #americans
I moved here 23 years ago with my two blk children, we experienced so much racism it was scary, had to pull my daughter out of her high school due to racial remarks and threats. I will say it has gotten better over the 23 years and my adult children now have very good jobs and are doing great and my grandchildren that are black aren't experiencing what my kids did which I'm so grateful.

It seems that gate keeping is the fear of reckless urbanization culture and thug culture even though there's an insidious culture towards outsiders. The same representatives are selling out to aristocrats and elites regardless of their out state status or out of the country buyers.

Please don’t play the race card, I moved here 10 years ago with my 1/2 black daughter and she never experienced racism here, she loves it here. She experienced more racism in UT .

Born and raised in Montana - I’m so sorry you have to put up with the micro-aggressions and racism. It is truly a problem here. We NEED more diversity, but also better education on these topics in the state, thank you for this conversation ♥️

I’ve grown up in Montana my whole life and I think it’s soooo annoying when people get mad at people for moving here. Or all the California hate, like let’s please relax lmao

Thank you for saying all of this! I was born and raised in a VERY small isolated town. I never saw, much less spoke to a person of color until I went to college. My parents NEVER had a conversation with me about people who look or speak differently than me. I had a LOT to unlearn. I had those talks with my kids. We white people NEED to have these conversations not just with our kids but with our neighbors. I'm so glad you're here. Be free and be happy!

People always assume I'm from the south or affiliated with the military. Neither. I'm just a black lady that lives in Montana.

No no, real Montanans like everyone regardless of where you’re from. The real ones do. I certainly do. And you are now from Montana. If they want more proof send them my way.

Whenever I see someone black in Montana, I worry for them that they’ll feel weird with so few black people here. I always want to say something to them, but being awkward wouldn’t help.

the xenophobia and racism in this state is horrible and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this. literally all us white ppl aren’t even originally from here so it’s quite wild. I hope you do find the love that’s in this state as well tho and can enjoy Montana!! totally & completely welcome you and love having you in our state!!💕💕

I think most Montana’s aren’t racist they just like their solitude and like their space. ♥️we just don’t want Montana to turn into big cities like NY or LA and no damn data center, we don’t want Montana overpopulated. However I love Montana and I think anyone who comes would also love it. I welcome you with open arms ♥️
