Oregon Racism

[Sudden Sam]

Dins, say it ain’t so! Anti-black provisions in your state’s constitution!

...in Oregon where anti-immigrant and anti-Black provisions were written into the State constitution. Blacks were banned from the state of Oregon until the 1920s under the state law. The Ku Klux Klan had a very receptive audience there and a fundamental hold on the politics of Oregon for many years. Oregon, in fact, banned parochial schools until that ban was overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States in a landmark case.

The spillover from this conflict between the Catholics and the Protestants in the 1830s and forties and fifties lasted well into the 20th century. Even now, there's strong strain of anti-immigrant and anti-Black and anti-minority sentiment in Oregon. It’s a minority view, but it hasn’t disappeared.

Very interesting interview.

This kind of CRT BS would be illegal in Florida. It might make somebody feel uncomfortable about their racist ancestors.

Most of the racism is found on the dry side of the state.

Hopefully the good side of Oregon votes those racists out of the state. Let Idaho have them.

As if Idaho doesn't have enough already...
