I fully expect to see this in Portland very soon.

I know that in Portland those homes were run down, and the blacks were pushed out further. Gentrification isn’t “nice”.

Land values are extremely high there because of the Urban Growth Boundary. Back in the ‘90s they skyrocketed. Most of those homes were rentals, and it became too expensive for minorities to live there. So, the landlords fixed up the homes, and sold them to moneyed hipsters, yuppies, tech people who thought living there would be cool.

Money talks, no matter the color of your skin.

This is a prime example of how the liberals have kept blacks on the plantation, and now they are fighting back. I’ve seen it coming for years.

I don’t condone ANYTHING that they’ve done, and some of the locals are tools being used by Soros paid Marxists. Some of them are truly peaceful, and aren’t around for the late night “festivities.” Many of violent protesters are from outside Portland, outside the state and some from Canada. However, for some of the angry locals, the libs sowed those seeds, and now it’s payback time. They want what they believe is theirs, which is false on its face.

But, to quote Trump, it is what it is.

One more thing, Antifa started in Portland, and they’ve been very welcome there. I’ve lived through Earth First, ELF, ALF, Occupy, BLM, you name it. I think local/state politicians, even though they are socialists,have taken so much dirty money that they are afraid of them. Don’t even get me started on the unions.

Antifa has been a burr on Portland’s butt for many years. It’s not a new thing. They are just one of the reasons I haven’t been to downtown Portland in over 15 years. Portland has too many problems to address right now.

We live in the suburbs. If they head that way, we are considering packing it in, and moving out altogether.
