I would like to know why all these people aren't offended by the name Willamette Week?!!!  Did we not settle on the very people's land (the Kalapuya) who first named the Willamette river and valley (and to this day hold the land as sacred) and destroy their culture?  How dare this racist weekly rag exploit that name for a white run, mostly white staffed paper writing about stuff that 99% of the time caters to today's evil american "hip" crowd, who are direct descendants of the conquerors and continue to "gentrify" this city!  

Acker - I want a full, snarky article condemning this institution you work for who are clearly exploiting the history of the native Willamette valley people and their struggles.  Get to writing....after you are done nursing your Friday night hangover at a boozey brunch in one of the N or NE portland hip streets that have been gentrified!
