Oregon Was Once a Slave State

Medford as a hotbed of Klan activity doesn't surprise me in the least (I grew up in a rural area close to it).

Jews with guns.

See Further for example.

L'Chaim, and pass the ammunition!

Small towns in Washington like Sedro Woolley are still full of racists who run blacks off their farms. I used to work with someone like that who hung around the City Council for influence.

Hey Marzhul. You oughtta work for Loggers and Contractors in Sedro Woolley like I did. It would grow some hair on your chest.

I put in my days as a Rigging slinger and Faller, how do suppose I know what a Jillpoke is?

You ever sat on a low branch and sawed down the trunk with you on it?

I worked security at a Slipknot concert about 6 or 7 years ago and the Aryan Nations came from Salem and it got out of hand. They were going around sucker punching people. We had to call the PPD. I was BSing with a cop a couple weeks later and he said Oregon has a huge Aryan Nations problem. Not sure if true or he just wanted to tell a good story.

Oregon has a pretty embarrassing racist past

Oregon has a pretty embarrassing racist past

Why would you be embarrassed?

 

[MARIS61]

Oregon has a pretty embarrassing racist past

Are you calling out anyone specifically, or just every person who ever resided in Oregon since 1859?

Travel the other 49 states, then get back to me on how we measure up in comparison today.

No it's Roosh.

There was still redlining until 1990s

meh..I am in no way defending the practice. What I find ridiculous is to take a small sample and portray it as the norm. If you want to get even more exacting I know you can find modern day examples of redlining, just as there are extremes in every sampling. Again, it was not been the norm in the 90s.

Also Sammy Davis Jr left his family act and started performing as a solo act in a strip club in downtown Portland. Performed there for a few years before finally getting famous.

Who the hell would pay to see Sammy Davis Jr strip?
