        I'm a proud born and raised Oregonian, Shaun, but you're right on target here. Not near enough people understand the dark history of discrimination in our state. Still much work to be done. It starts with enlightenment.

        Leave it to the hipster capital of the west coast to be creating racists cities before everyone else was doing it.

        Oregon is that conspiracy-loving weird uncle who shows up to your killer party and starts pulling lines from O'Reilly while making passes at his own 17 year old niece.

        Yes. So are we supposed to forever ban and punish Oregon or do we let them reform and put it behind them? (That’s a metaphor for, ya know....a lot of things). #Kobe

        Great history lesson. Current racism likely less severe than portrayed here, however.

        2 years ago there was a slew of articles all proclaiming how White & historically racist Portland had been. But, the narrative was a bit overblown & a number of PoC Portlanders began to push back and say those stories were making the problem worsehttp://s.oregonlive.com/mzQEa0R
