Missourians, or anyone who doesn't like racism, should boycott both Branson & the Ozark Natl Scenic Riverways. Both are crawling w/vicious racists, many armed. Neither should get one penny of your leisure spending. Let's unpack this. 1/
Last Friday, 6/26, there was a BLM demo in Branson in front of the Confederate-themed Dixie Outfitters. Today, 7/3 another demo, another pro-Trump counter-demo. The couple below are miming ape motions as they lead the Branson counter-protestors chanting "monkey lovers". 2/
As to the Ozark Natl Scenic Riverways--last Sat, 6/27, armed "militia" members & locals showed up b/c of a *rumor* of a BLM demo in Eminence, MO (pop 400) on the Jack's Fork River. The rumor seems to have been started by the Shannon County Sheriff in a Facebook post on 6/26. 3/
So on 6/27, Eminence was flooded w/racists gunning for BLM protestors. The sheriff even allowed them to set up sniper positions on the county courthouse roof. 4/
Next Saturday, 7/11, a local schoolteacher named Abby Van Winkle will hold a BLM protest in her home town of Van Buren, MO, (pop 800) on the Current River. The Mayor of Van Buren is completely opposed. 5/
Now, an alt-right radio host has scheduled an all-lives-matter armed treason flagfest for Van Buren the same day and the exact same time--11am, Sat 7/11. The hatefest message couldn't be clearer. 6/
Who knows? Maybe Branson and Eminence and Van Buren can get by just fine without the patronage of people who think that Confederate flag paranoid racism sucks. Maybe they'll never miss the business. But since moral arguments don't work, maybe financial ones will. 7/
