I visited a old military buddy in Oregon for the solar eclipse in 2017. He was pretty woke back then. Total red pill now and I love every minute of it.

So we watched the eclipse where he lived about an hour south of Portland. The experience was great. The people were friendly. They were all blatantly progressive lefties but they were good peoples. Good conversations and genuinely cool all around.

I flew home out of Portland and we decided to go there to see some live music and experience the night-life.

We got there in the evening and I immediately noticed the BLM bumper stickers and other woke-inspired tags around the city. Cool, whatever.

We went to a coffee shop as soon as we got there and while I was waiting for the bathroom to open up a homeless black guy walked passed and very aggressively told me, "THE BATHROOM IS OCCUPIED!" I was a little shocked and so I replied pretty flatly that it was obviously occupied and that's why I was standing there waiting.

This homeless guy spun on me so fast and came at me so quickly that my adrenaline immediately went soaring and my fists balled up. We continued the back and forth, him being extremely aggressive and me slowly getting more agitated and smart-assy towards him. I truly thought I was going to get in a fist fight with this angry guy. He paced back and forth for at least five minutes talking smack, calling me whitey names, and getting closer and closer to me. He eventually left, I used the bathroom and returned to my seat. He actually came back inside and stared me down while pacing through the coffee shop for another 5 minutes.

I'm not sure if it was the fact that I stood up to him that angered him or that he just wasn't used to it or that he was crazy. I guess Portlandites are just pussies and don't say anything to defend themselves.

That was the literally only black person I saw the entire time in Portland.

That night we went to a live music show. All white people.

In the middle of the show, the band stopped the show and proceeded to start a chant with the all young, white crowd.

"FUCK YOUR WHITE SUPREMACISTS BULLSHIT!" Over and over and over while preaching about the atrocities of the white man. THEY WERE ALL FUCKING WHITE!

I'm from South Louisiana. I couldn't understand what I was seeing. It was surreal watching a crowd of all whites, in a city of all whites, chant about white supremacists. At that point, I knew the city was fucked.

Live shows in New Orleans are a mix of white people, black people, Asians, Hispanics, rich, poor, and everyone is just having fun and dancing and talking to each other.

These people have no idea what they are standing for because they live in a segregated community and have no exposure to what being a part of a truly mixed community actually feels like.

TLDR - Oregon = cool. Portland = fucked. White people crying about white people. Only black person I saw in 24 hours tried to intimidate and fight me for standing up to him.
