NAACP links earthquake signs in Oregon to white supremacy

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. …

Portland will be destroyed by deranged communist libtards long before any earthquake will render it uninhabitable.

Not that I give a rat's ass, of course.

Mayor Wheeler certainly gave a demonstration of that ready to happen, last year.

There have been a few more news stories on this subject lately. A popular downtown Portland restaurant vacated one of the buildings which is being tagged by the city as dangerous in an earthquake and moving to a newer building.

The restaurant owner talked about government coming up with money to reinforce the old buildings they are condemning. It’s all about the money.

I suspect the city is in on the money give away. Please don’t throw us in the briar patch and sue us

Not that it’s a bad idea to reinforce these buildings or rip them down. And it’s ok to use Portland money, just not the rest of the states money.
