The most glaring/disgusting racism in the PNW(specifically WA because I don't really have experience in other PNW states) exists as economic divides that stands out mostly when you look at where people live. When I was working in Seattle, I worked in an office that was almost entirely white. I was one of two latino dudes. They hired a gay black dude once, he was there maybe a week. The office was pretty much only comfortable for the straight white male stereotype. That Seattle is any better in terms of racial diversity and acceptance is one of those myths.

https://www.richardsilverstein.com/2017/01/24/uw-shooter-identified/quote:Marc Hokoana, age 29, a known pro-gun activist, can be seen in video and still photographs at the scene shooting a protester. Hokoana is originally from Lacey, WA and graduated from Timberline High School in 2006. He is also a UW alumnus. He appears to be living in Lacey currently. But really, we should just listen to what these people have to say. We shouldn't call this shooting violence and we should keep level heads when reporting on this incident and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. sarcasm Doorknob Slobber fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jan 25, 2017 |

anthonypants posted:Did you forget that the guy you're talking about was shot, with a gun, and that the shooter has faced literally zero consequences 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. I'm not saying ones not bad, I'm just saying I don't think the alt-right has followed through on any of its specific death threats. (yet) Mr. Lobe posted:He is also a current student. To my knowledge, and I have been a fairly close observer of this sequence of events, he has not even faced any administrative penalties. And this poo poo is extremely hosed up. It wasn't even widely reported in the media, and the little it was reported, it was done in a way that seemed to place blame on the victim. Yet when antifa groups break a windows its the end of the loving world.

Gross. There is a pro Trump rally in Oly on the 4th and the MAGAs are planning on 'packing heat' to protect themselves from 'violent liberals' this is how the civil war starts, not trump, not bannon, these idiots in the streets believing fake news and shooting unarmed activists.

Relevant Tangent posted:White people who kill other white people aren't getting away with poo poo though. If black bloc or others show up, the redhats will back down. their permit says 500-1000 people, but I'll be surprised if there are twenty MAGAs, and the time/place of the event is already being posted all over antifa and anarchist website for the area. I stand by saying this is how the civil war starts. Our politicians are big babies who can't do poo poo, but if ignorant right wing gun nuts start getting trigger happy, it can only go on so long before both groups go to these things with guns. (if things continue the way they are.)

coyo7e posted:holy poo poo, I clicked on that march 4 trump facebook thing and the first name I moused over lists himself as having attended "The Big Daddy School of Street Knowledge and Hard Knocks". I went to a counter protest today. A couple counter protesters were arrested and one got punched in the face. Meanwhile the Trump peeps walking around with their penis extension devices, and a loving surveillance nest on top of a nearby building. Emotions were high, but my take now having 'faced off' against a mass of tumpers is that they're a bunch of scared white people.

xrunner posted:Interesting. None of the media reports I've seen have anything about it. Did it happen in an out of the way area? If a Trump supporter got punched they'd be giving it a lot of coverage and talking about the violent left... Yeah, I've got no idea why no one is picking anything up. All I've seen in the media is the people being arrested for 'assaulting' a police officer. All I saw was someone knocking over a sign for the 'free speech zone' and then the police attacked them. Like hands around the dude's neck attacked. The mainstream media was behind the police line though from what I could tell, recording the Trumper's speeches it seemed like.

herbaceous backson posted:Is there racism at Evergreen, and the PNW as a whole? Of course-you can find shitkickers with confederate flags on their vehicles ten minutes drive from the college campus. This professor doesn't seem to be one of them. yes. Do you live here? Do you ever step outside the i5 corridor? This place is racist as gently caress. Evergreen isn't the bastion of liberalism that a lot of people think. Anecdotally, one of my friends is a POC and a professor there and according to this person Evergreen is pretty loving lovely at diversity and its something they've been struggling with for a while. Even to the point where they're stressed about going in to work because of it. From what I've read and heard that professor thinks there is biological reasons to discuss why black people are inferior to white people so gently caress him. I don't care if he's jewish or whatever the gently caress. You can be jewish and still be a stupid nazi/racist gently caress. See Israel. More racist poo poo in the PNW yesterday. Here is something another professor at Evergreen wrote on the protests going on there. quote:In Solidarity with the Struggle for Racial Justice at the Evergreen State College On a side note this dude is pretty active in the community, helping people organize and poo poo.
