NAACP links earthquake signs in Oregon to white supremacy
Associated Press ^ | January 5, 2019

A new city policy requiring public signs on brick buildings warning they might collapse in an earthquake is part of a long history of white supremacy aimed at forcing black people to move out of neighborhoods, the NAACP of Portland, Oregon, says.

The group on Thursday decried the policy affecting some 1,600 unreinforced masonry buildings that are on average 90 years old, many in areas with a predominantly black population, The Oregonian/OregonLive reports.

The policy “exacerbates a long history of systemic and structural betrayals of trust and policies of displacement, demolition, and dispossession predicated on classism, racism, and white supremacy,” the group said.

The NAACP said the policy will make it tougher for owners of brick buildings to get loans and will discourage investment. It says that means buildings will have to be sold, and that developers will demolish and redevelop, increasing the cost to live there and forcing current residents out. […]

City officials say the ordinance approved in October is part of an effort ultimately aimed at upgrading old buildings to withstand an earthquake, though seismic upgrades likely wouldn’t be required for at least 20 years. Such upgrades could cost brick-building owners millions of dollars. …

Perhaps this is preparation for the Cascadia subduction zone event geologically ascertained to happen once every 300 years. It us a little past due.

The CP in NAACP stands for Colored People. Sounds kind of racist to me. They should change the name of the organization to the National Association for the Advancement of African American Humans. Or NAAAAH.

That’s very clever. Kinda fits with those three-letter acronyms for new psychiatric “disorders”, e.g. ODD (oppositional defiance disorder).

Keeping their current initials allows for their true nature to be exposed by critics, by referring to them as the National Association for the Advancement of Communistic Principles and suchlike.

Just forget about it then. Leave the buildings alone and let them collapse as they may. I don’t care about saving people who are this stupid.

That’s what the NAACP are in effect advocating. And of course, looking to shakedown the city for more money.

These NAACP types are nutjobs.

What are they going to complain against next? That the snow on Mount Hood is white? Or that the name “Hood” is a macro-aggression because it reminds blacks of the KKK?

“The NAACP said the policy will make it tougher for owners of brick buildings to get loans”

I can foresee the day when we may need a national association for the advancement of colored people.

OK, so don’t say anything and when blacks die in the apartment collapse, then whites are racist and white supremacist for NOT saying anything.

Sometimes, you just can’t win.

Portland is the most atheist city in the US. Pretty much explains their weirdness. And they like being called weird.

“A new city policy requiring public signs on brick buildings warning they might collapse in an earthquake is part of a long history of white supremacy aimed at forcing black people to move out of neighborhoods, the NAACP of Portland, Oregon, says.”

Which is more dangerous the people or the earthquake?
