So, instead of it being purely demographics of preference and opportunity it's because we're all racist here in Portland? I could see that argument being valid if blacks moving here were getting chased out or killed off by Klansman.

I've been bullied most of my life, so I've cultivated a hatred toward any sort of culture that embraces macho posturing, opportunism and predation, and violence including its lesser forms (e.g. coercion, peer pressure etc.). I'm all about people getting along or leaving each other alone, respecting boundaries and belongings, and agreeing to disagree. What I've personally experienced and seen is a mainstream popular black culture that has embraced those things listed above that I — and all decent people — despise.

Charles Mingus isn't being “sung” on the MAX and Frederick Douglass's name isn't on any fashion labels sold in the malls. My antipathy is cultural and applies specifically to those whom it applies to.
