The Gulf coast actually has a few things going for it, like the French Quarter of New Orleans. Rural Oregon is more like a depressed North Carolina; more hopeless poor or near poor with a few small town big wheels, very church going, and very easy to hate anyone they see as different from themselves.

Act 6 is a scholarship program for minority students. God I fucking hate the word minority.

Anyways, on the cardboard cutout someone left a sign that read "Act 6 reject" I don't know about you but I'd never heard of Act 6 until today.

Otis, you don't have to leave Portland to find out of the racist closet dipshits. Racism doesn't belong to any specific demographic. There are liberal life long Democrat racists, I've met douchebag hippie racists, hipster girl racists, even white hip hop kids that are racist.

One thing I notice with Oregon's racists that is much different than the racists of my home state of Wyoming, is that Oregon racists, more specifically Portland's racists are in the closet still. In Wyoming, at least they have the sack to come out and declare their ignorance to the world. That might not be commendable, but, at least you know where they stand and can easily avoid them.

I'm going to chalk this one up to a reaction of a racist redneck living in a knee jerk liberal neo hippie's world, and he's screaming for his racist redneck voice to be heard.

the day before MLK day in january a group of 4 mom's having lunch when they started loudly ranting about how they had to watch their kids the next day because school was closed for n****r day.

a guy sitting next to me at a bar out of the blue says to me that "no way in hell will he let a woman or a n****r become president".

and while watching one of the laker/celtics finals games the two guys sitting next to me had this exchange:

Guy 1: Basketball is the most boring sport in the world.
Guy 2: Yup.
Guy 1: It is even more boring than soccer.
Guy 2: Yup.
Guy 1: But at least in soccer there are no blacks on the field.
Guy 2: Yup.
