Hi Charles,  Due to my back and forth with Douglas Card over the Deday/Dunn renaming  controversy, I have been spending more of my time looking into Oregon's history concerning blacks and the racist laws of the past and to a lesser extent, national issues concerning race.  Sticking to Oregon, do you think the U.S. Supreme Court, in Shelby County v. Holder (2013) ruling has affected black Oregonians ability vote in Oregon?  What in your opinion are laws and policies that can be changed in Oregon to address discrimination and/or racism in Oregon?  If you believe all that democrats offer black citizens is the ability to vote, why not switch to a third party?
