Oregon lawmakers last week gave final approval to a bill that ends the state's ban on self-service gas pumps, a prohibition that has been in place since 1951.
Maybe if there’s a place in OR I can stop on the 5 that doesn’t make me scared I’ll be shot for not being perfectly American Average, I can not even worrying about stopping there as I cruise through in my electric car I’ll buy when Soros pays me all that money he owes me
Edit: since for some reason I can’t respond to the comment:
Multiple times. Most memorable was when I accidentally stopped at a roadside restaurant that gave discounts for open-carry licenses and served the saddest burgers I’ve ever had the displeasure of paying full price for.
Oregon is both extremely liberal and extremely conservative, depending on where you are in the state.
No good feeling unsafe, though. As an Oregonian, I’m sorry: you should not have had that experience.
Along ‘the five’, I’m guessing you were in Southern Oregon, though there are plenty of places in the Willamette valley that love to be contrarian and stick it to the libs with kooky conservative virtue signaling like you experienced at the burger place. Fuck that noise.
And yes, Oregon has a racist history. Most of the families who are black and grew up here first settled in Vanport around the time of WWII, working the shipyards. Many of the now gentrified neighborhoods in North Portland were where many of those Vanport residents migrated after the flooding that devastated the homes.
With so few black families and the reputation of not wanting African American residents at all in Oregon, it’s no wonder the number of black residents hasn’t climbed.
