Oregon Gov. Brown on Ending Portland Protests: ‘It Will Take Time’ to ‘Eradicate the Racism’ in Systems
Bretbart ^ | 09/12/2020 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 09/12/2020 7:51:39 AM PDT by mplc51

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) expressed concern that protests in Portland are continuing despite an emergency declaration, and responded to a question on the timeframe for ending the protests by stating, “we know that these protests are caused by folks who have been experiencing systemic racism in this state and in this country for decades, for centuries. And it will take time,” to “eradicate” the racism that exists in various systems.

Brown said that the protests continuing despite the declaration of a state of emergency is “certainly a concern. I’ve worked with our community partners, our business community, and elected leadership to craft a statement of Oregon leaders, saying that this violence needs to come to an end. We are continuing to have conversations with folks in the community about how we can tackle the underlying racism issues that are really the underlying cause of the situation, and we are continuing to take action.”

In other words the riots will go on forever.

Got to hand it to a liberal. They will NEVER abandon the dogma. No matter how much destruction and death it causes.

“It would be a shock to our antiquated systems”

This dimwit Democrat low life Governor of Oregon never finished counting the votes of the Oregon POTUS primary, both Democrat & Republican POTUS tally. The final tally listed all over the place is that 80% of the votes were counted...the rest, who knows where they are? I followed the results that evening and at one time on “Politico” the tally showed Trump ahead of Biden. Then immediately the Trump lead was washed out and the counting stopped. could Trump have gotten more votes for POTUS then Biden? We’ll never know!!!

I would say that this crap will end shortly after the election of Donald J. Trump.

And it will take time, frankly, to eradicate the racism in our criminal justice system, in our law enforcement system, in our healthcare system, in our educational system.

And how did I contribute to each of those areas? I guess I need some Special High Intensity Training (S.H.I.T.) because I can't see where I have contributed in any way.

There is no such thing as the slanderous term systemic racism in America. Does not exist.

Only America abolished slavery and had a war with millions dead over it. China and other places still have slavery and it is not illegal.

America has civil rights laws that are enforced and has spent, since 1964 in 2020 adjusted dollars-—$27 trillion in government aid to black people.

With “systemic racism” as the hurdle to go over, no white could ever do it.

“I don’t hate black people” “I never held slaves” “I marched with Dr.King” “I once was bad but have learned to reform myself about my racial attitudes” and “I will improve from now on” are all ruled out. Systemic means a part of the system itself.

So a white can never win. And the BLM supporters will never accept whites.

It is part of a Marxist revolutionary takeover of the existing American Way of Life. That’s the truth, Gov. Brown.

I have yet to hear a single example of the racism in our ‘systems’. You’d think they could give a few examples by now.

They are setting up various systems of financial reparations for you to pay. As you suffer you may learn their Marxist lessons and repent somehow. Forget retirement savings or sending your kids to college.

Reparations will come from earnings, investments and from any sale of your old car or house, for example. Kamala and others will work out deduction methods from any money a white receives.

Bottom line for them:

Systems that don’t ensure equal outcomes are racist.

If the riots are due to “systemic racism,” then why are they not occurring all over the country all the time?

Why is there so much racism in Oregone? If there’s a more demonicRAT dominated state than Kamalafornia, it would be Oregone.

blm/antifa, the nba, nfl are continuing to stoke the flames of racism.

There is no incentive for them to solve this "problem".

The continual assault on "white" American values such as the family, hard work, etc, will only further exacerbate the problem.

“no more systemic anything” —— well there has been systemic failure in forest management over the past several decades.
