The city council of Portland is downright crazy.

The “displacement” has been true for all types of neighborhoods since the 1950s. The Detroit blues places on Hastings Street in the so called black bottom area recorded a few of the artists in historic places that, along with hundreds of homes, had to be bulldozed for the new construction of the freeways. One was John Lee Hooker.

And really recently (just before 2000 or so) Little Caesar’s Pizza owner quietly bought up land and forced people out of poor areas to build his new Comerica Park for the Tigers and the stores and restaurants and Detroit Red Wings hockey area-—almost all of the people displaced were poor and black. Places with collapsing ceilings and peeling lead paint made way for “District Detroit.”

The Washington state legislature has recently created a Reparations Study Group.

The USA Political Left never walks away from any kind of Cash Back fantasy.

Many, many more white families than black have been displaced for freeway construction in the Portland area over the years. Where’s their multi-million-dollar settlement?

There are more “Black Lives Matter” signs in Oregon than there are actual black residents.

Shouldn’t native Americans get compensation for land taken in violation of treaties?

What about descendants of slave owners? Shouldn’t they get something for “property” taken without compensation?
