DrNutt posted:Tacoma is a place that seems to be, for lack of better words, more integrated and less racist. Probably because the economy here is less tech focused than big brother Seattle, and economically depressed areas tend to be more diverse. But it is kind of nice that we've kind of got our own little niche here that works. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Jan 2, 2017 |

You make minorities stop feeling "unwelcome " by literally being both welcoming and willing to set yourself below them in terms of personal experiences. When you meet a 27 year old black woman working at Dari Mart who says she has been pulled over 35 times since she could drive.. you ask "why?" Instead of deciding internally that she must be a terrible, terrible driver. You make minorities stop feeling "unwelcome" by moving Into their comfort zone, accepting their outlook as valid, and then asking for more info if you're not impinging. I grew up in OR in the 90s and frankly the era does make a difference. It used to be that any professional party was full of racists, while today it's more contained to golf courses and high end business luncheons. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Jan 2, 2017 |

xrunner posted:"People are talking about racism and race related issues. I better go tell them how not racist I am and how much more enlightened the place I live is." How is this helpful beyond just sweeping the issue under the rug while standing secure in your sense of progressive enlightenment. I have spent no time in Tacoma so maybe it is more socially developed than the larger cities to its north and south. Waiting for aging racists to die off doesn't strike me as the most effective strategy. A colleague of mine - late twenties, college educated, generally nice guy - lives out in Sherwood (far edge of Portland metro area to the southwest) and told me a while back that he feels like a racist whenever black people come into his area because he never sees them there and can't help but glance/people watch. I remember doing the same thing in small town Montana as a teenager, and can you imagine how creepy and unsettling that must be for the person being eyeballed? Further, how should we take his admittance of embarrassment? Is it something that is fine to take at face value or should we question what other opinions/views/prejudices he's hiding beneath his outwardly progressive appearance. I think one of the problems is that I don't really have a lot of experience with people who aren't racist, going around bragging about how not-racist they are. In fact I'd say it's more the opposite - the more racist you are, the more likely you will be to loudly claim that you're open-minded and fair and balanced and totes know black people and mexicans and even dated an asian chick one time.. The more aware of racism you are, then the more likely you are to call yourself and others out on your own racism. I mean your twenty-something buddy sounds like he's experiencing his color-based growing pains, which is honestly a healthy and normal thing for him to go through if he's self-aware and empathetic toward others who don't look like him. Calling yourself out on being a "looky-loo racist" is one of the early steps to working past it. I am pretty sure I posted before that I went through very similar poo poo in Eugene/Spfd when I was in middle and high school because it really felt as though there were like, 3 or 4 black people in all of the county - and I'd see them every week or so walking on the sidewalk with a bag full of cans, or simply just rolling around town, looking like they were poor or homeless. I knew it was weird and unusual and unfair to only see poor/homeless black people, and it made me uncomfortable - as it should. It's when you see that same black dude every day for a year and just go "well, they're all like that, collecting cans and bumming cigarettes," that you ought to be ashamed - but since if you're at that point you're not self-aware very much at all (at least in that scope), then it seems entirely normal and reasonable. I accidentally moved into a black neighborhood this year and now most of my friends are black - but still when I'm walking down the street and see a stranger who's black, I do a mental-double-step trying to figure out if it's going to be taken well if I look them in the eye and say hi or smile and nod, etc. But the thing is, at least as awkward and bumbling as I am just walking past someone on the sidewalk, at least I gave enough of a poo poo to think about it from their perspective before I jumped in and tried to introduce myself and shake their hand like some kind of maniac. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Jan 2, 2017 |

Error 404 posted:Care to expand on this? He sources a lot of stuff which is simply uncheckable because it's in native language, and he's a rabid conspiratorialist whenever he comes across a conflict which might show the state of Israel in a negative light. He will also lash out at you exactly like Donald Trump does, if he notices you mentioning him or his links in any online social space - like "you must be a paid shill for Mossad" kind of accusations simply from a random online social media post. I followed his blog for a few months - maybe a year or three-ish back? He seemed to have a lot of "insider leak info" from within the israeli military, but eventually the lack of translatable sources and his virulent and very personal attacks on me whenever I happened to mention something he'd posted (when I had come into the picture thinking that I was on HIS side as an ally), yeah, just leave him alone. He's a virulent self-hating anti-semite conspiracist troll who lives on his wife's income. And It hurts me to even put it in writing but do the thing I did - read his articles as best you can, follow his works, and see his reaction to whomever he feels is not worthy of his admiration. He's a gross hateful old man who's a professional blogger - except for the whole "garnering an income" thing. Maybe he's written some books, I am not interested in reading them because he's basically a tiny, Israel-hating trump who is himself jewish. It's complicated, at least. edit: that said, "Tikkun Olam" (heal the world) is pretty much the "mni wiconi" or "mitakuye oyasin" of the jewish sphere, as far as I understand it. It's a great phrase but this lone angry crazy man has kind of camped on most of its internet domain. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Jan 25, 2017 |

coyo7e posted:If you're not busy in Lane County tomorrow at lunch, come on down..! I'll buy you a slice at Sizzle Pie. Fortunately the entire thing happened right across from a Whole Foods Market or w/etf, so lots of boomers had seating and the attendance easily hit somewhere around 1500, there was no way to get a higher vantage point of the crowd but we kept making everyone on the franklin side move in closer, and it ended up with hundreds of people spilling off to the south and eastern side of the square. Then because too many people showed up they canceled the march, which resulted in some anarchist kids and enthusiastic idiots all deciding to march against traffic in the highest-traffic one-way street in Eugene - West 11th. Some redneck got pissed off and some kids from the bus station who'd jumped on board (or led, it's kinda fuzzy because nobody involved with the march was around by then) might've slashed his tires. So yeah, if you protest in Eugene - keep it the gently caress away from the bus station(s). Error 404 posted:This is the actual thread, the other one got closed.

Yeah in Eugene, I had already left and am glad to have, because apparently a hundred or two folks decided to block west 11th in celebration of our peaceful demonstration, and then some dude in a modded truck hits an airhorn and claims people pushed him into another car and it went downhill from there because dude - don't be a redneck in front of the eugene bus station.. They're animals! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10209363808984577&id=1004341022&hc_location=ufi (his tires were repaired for free from the store literally 50 feet away, FYI) coyo7e fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Jan 30, 2017 |

Well this is fairly definitive about the slashed tires in Eugene. I kinda thought he might be making it up, but nope, someone legit shanked his tires. Still, don't lay onto an air-horn because a crowd of people is walking around/past you in the street - just let them loving pass. FYI, the bucket you hear being drummed on in the background was the same "professional protestor" I mentioned seeing earlier. She was leading the march in the earlier videos of this incident which you probably already saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJkl46sOMqE

So what's the loving deal with Peter DeFazio? He's been basically hiding since November, which is easy to notice when Wyden and Merkley have been out there front and center, fighting the good fight. I honestly can't think of anything I've heard from DeFazio or his office in like 3 months. Doorknob Slobber posted:Yeah but there is a difference between getting shot at a protest by a guy who went out looking for trouble and someone tracking you down to your home where your wife and kids live and shooting all of you, which to my knowledge, hasn't happened yet.

Here's a serious question I've been kinda wondering about: do you-all have more or less respect for California being part of the PNW, since Jerry Brown decided to call Trump's bluff and threaten to secede? I mean they obv can't build a dam to save the lives of everyone downstream but hey, it'd be pretty funny if the only way you could leave the flyover states was by flying, or driving out through Canda or Mexico because neither coast wants you there.
