I think a lot of people don’t realize Oregon’s history. They passed a law in 1844, when it was still a territory, that basically outlawed being black. You were required to leave or be whipped/assaulted. Oregon entered the union as a whites-only state. Oregon in general and Portland in particular have long been…

Between Bynum’s story and yours, I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised that the police seem to have handled both situations appropriately (ie without shooting or unlawfully detaining anyone). You don’t see that every day. 

There was a property surveyor in my yard today, measuring b/c they’re tearing down the house next door to build a McMansion or some shit. He didn’t come to the door to say who he was or what he was doing; but came to the yard after I let my dog (a 90 lb male German Shepherd) out in the fenced back yard. Chewed him out…

Exactly. I’m wary of anyone who comes to my door and because of that I would just say, no you can’t enter my property... Or more likely... I just wouldn’t answer the door because I’d probably just assume you were a JW or Mormon since I get a lot of those. I wouldn’t give you permission to enter and then call the cops.…

I’d be wary of anyone who asked to come onto my property, but I wouldn’t call 911. 

This happened in liberal Portland? the humanity.

Maybe when the assholes start calling the cops on a white kids lemonade stand or a white family bbq or a white candidate out canvassing her constituents 

People do not understand the purpose of 911. It’s not to use an ambulance as a cab, and it’s not to hassle people who haven’t actually done anything suspicious or wrong.

I have definitely written my name too fast and misspelled it...many times

That one stood out to me too. 12 is also the age it all fell apart for me and I’m just barely holding it together at nearly 29. Depression for me is a daily battle to force myself to leave the house and ignore the voice that constantly asks me “when do we get to sleep?”

He’s messing up her brand and that family is know for throwing Black men away after they use them. It’s not far fetched.

Gwyneth and Brad are getting married in the Hamptons.

Anyone else having problems concentrating because of this horrific policy that Sessions enacted? I just read this article earlier and my stomach felt like it’d been punched. My God what are we doing

How else will you get the wrinkles out?

Ok, I should revise that. We’re not formally knocked out, but we’re not getting HQ2 and the Seaport office, there’s no way and it would be the worst idea ever.

Domicile has some good points, and you should read the comment

You are arguing in favor of eugenics, please stop

HamNo is the worst kind of white liberal asshole. He always knows what’s best, his shit never stinks, and if you don’t do what he tells you when he tells you, you’re the asshole. Isn’t this the guy who went to Howard because he “loved hip-hop?” Yeah. Fuck this guy.
