Authorities in Portland, Ore. may be racist in the way they define "riot," according to National Public Radio.
The taxpayer-funded media outlet aired a report Thursday in which it claimed that state laws governing riot declarations "have roots in the state's racist history."
An accompanying article by Oregon Public Broadcasting's Jonathan Levinson linked to a June interview with Black studies educator and writer Walidah Imarisha, who claimed the state's historically racist laws "absolutely" echo through Oregon's current governance.
"Oregon began as a white-only state," Levinson wrote. "While it banned slavery at its founding, the state adopted strict Black exclusionary laws which had been in place in the territory for decades. The law banned Black people from living in the state or owning property."

...there’s some racism in there somewhere.
Somehow we need to extrude this to exaggerated proportions. WHY do black people have white dogs?
NPR is now and always has been institutionally racist.
Trump is right to purge the Republican Party of silly people. When the Republicans had control of the House and the Senate, in the era of huge budget deficits,they continued to fund PBS/NPR ( taxpayer supported leftists) and Planned Parenthood.
National Propaganda Radio needs to be defunded.
Paul Ryan and the Bush League Republicans did not do it when they had both Houses.
Can we change the color of the sky. Blue is racist.
“While it banned slavery at its founding, the state adopted strict Black exclusionary laws which had been in place in the territory for decades. The law banned Black people from living in the state or owning property.”
And yet black people live there today!
Anything and everything is racist to the Leftist DEMs if it runs contrary to what they believe or say, etc. Go figure.
Reform NPR or burn it to the ground.
If everything is racist then NOTHING and NO ONE is racist. The term hence has lost all of its meaning and venom. Rejoice! America...racism is dead. You simply have to believe that it’s gone and lo! No more racism. Try it!!
“....”have roots in the state’s racist history.”
The first riots in the northwest had nothing to do with blacks. In Oregon it was the local people, the Indian nations. The first of it started in 1855 when the local militia and a group of tribes, which were called the Rogue River Indians, battled. And this was 4 years before the state of Oregon was made. So they just scratched over Indians, and wrote in Blacks for this one.
If you don’t have territorial conflict in a state, it isn’t progressing. All fifty do it all the time. And because people are allowing themselves to be herded into a phylum, they think they have to fight for their privileges they call rights.
In the old days if you and a group of people didn’t like your treatment, you formed another town miles away and ran it your way. That’s how the west was populated. If everyone had what they wanted and were happy east of the Mississippi, the western land would be owned by the plains indian and the western indian tribes, and Mexico. Russia would own Alaska and Hawaii would probably be owned by the Japanese by now. Small world.

Defund NPR
Sorry...there are far too many white faces in all the chaos.
NPR...Naturally Pure Ridiculessness OR
Pure BS.
Defund NPR.
Yes, NPR, I get it. FACTS are racist. EVERYthing I do is racist.
Therefore, if I am to be a racist no matter what, let me be the very best racist I can be.
THe time has come for National People’s Revolutionary Radio to stop being supported by taxpayers.
NPR...where they believe speaking softly better sells their communist propaganda.
Those white leftist kids and well as many adults accept and embrace black culture. They listen to their garbage music. They reject marriage and rather have or be baby mommas. They reject real education and gobble up indoctrination babble.
They have no work ethic. They are lazy and expect everything to be given to them. They have no achievement and cannot point to anyone true greatness as a role model, because there is no one of true greatness that is part of black culture.
They have no religion other than Marxism. They are a part of the Democrat plantation and expect government to solve all problems. They are filled with rage from abject propaganda that has been fed to them all their lives and it permeates their very being.
Most importantly, they are racists. They see every issue in terms of race. They hate themselves and rightly so because the little thing that they do not understand is that they have become part of black culture.
They aspire to take, not make. That is the most fundamental part of black culture.
