Authorities in Portland, Ore. may be racist in the way they define “riot,” according to National Public Radio.

The taxpayer-funded media outlet aired a report Thursday in which it claimed that state laws governing riot declarations “have roots in the state’s racist history.”

An accompanying article by Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Jonathan Levinson linked to a June interview with Black studies educator and writer Walidah Imarisha, who claimed the state’s historically racist laws “absolutely” echo through Oregon’s current governance.

  1. this entire country has lost its mind. looting and rioting are not racist activities; they are examples of vandalism and lawlessness and not giving a hoot about who gets hurt. that has nothing to do with race, color or creed

    • I can’t tell if you are sarcastic. Not even a single Republican (and I mean every Republican, not just the leadership) has been documented to have owned a slave on the eve of the Civil War (and this is known because slaves were specifically counted, as a Constitutional requirement, on the census at the eve of the Civil War).So what is your point – you want Republicans to pay reparations for NOT owning any slaves? Even aside from that, just exactly how does one characterize all the money of all those programs – and all those “affirmative action” initiatives – that (either de facto or de jure) has been spent on the non-Whites of the country? And of interest to me are the videos where those of colour open justify the looting etc as – and this is their own words – “reparations”. Seems they by their own description of matters they have already taken their “reparations”.

    • The President is in charge of the Executive branch – since when is NPR part of the Executive branch? And in any case, Wikipedia claims that only 6% of NPR budget comes (officially) from government funds
