The Mayor of the whitest  city in the nation

Any more stats you want to make up?

Portland demographics 
White alone, percent   77.1%
Black or African American alone, percent 5.8%
American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent 0.7%
Asian alone, percent 8.1%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, percent0.7%
Two or More Races, percent 5.5%
Hispanic or Latino, percent 9.7%
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, 70.7  percent

Census.gov

Like I said, Ward.

Portland is not the whitest city in the US. It's not the 2nd whitest city in the US. Not if you count Hispanics. Not if you exclude Hispanics.

It's just not.

I am sure, knowing you, that you will either ignore this or make up some criterion by which you will then say that you are right, like "starting with P" or something.

But your statement was wrong, wrong, wrong.

No it wasn’t.

There are at least 5 US cities that have a higher white (non-Hispanic) percentage than Portland, Ward, whether you admit it or not. NOT "the whitest city in America."

Meanwhile, are you middle class?

It matters.

Yes, no matter which city's metropolitan region I claim to be in or none-of-the-above. Middle, middle, middle.

I called Needs Amity.  UNO just picked it up.  Needs has made it no secret that is where he is from

I wont post it again.  My bad.

Needs? You’re from the Ville?


heh

Larry, Larry, Larry. Read all the posts you missed before you post.

 You sound stupid, now.

You are a parading ass-face, Utley-uno, a dog who’s bitten off it’s own balls and now doesn’t know which way to turn. Please, give us more of your sad bleating and whining.

You claim to be purple, but you are yellow with brown trim, an unflushed toilet with a mold infestation.

As long as you found a place to be ugly and you feel at home there, you must be doing alright.

Does Larry ever let you crank the organ grinder, too, or do you just dance to his tune?

STFU, bigot.

I crank my own grinder, Bonzo. Thanks for asking. God didn’t give me all these thumbs for nothing after all.

I’m bigoted against blustering cowards, bullies, racists, sexists, people who see a correlation between possessing wealth and possessing personal virtue. I’m bigoted against people who excuse their own inconsistency so long as it maintains the prejudice and privilege that protects them from even having a clear view of their surroundings. I’m bigoted against able bodied adults who take not out of any need or because they have somehow earned it, but because they simply feel they are entitled and either haven’t considered the right and wrong of things, getting caught, or think they’re so special they’ll just get away with it and keep skating by. I’m bigoted against those who whine about how they’re being treated yet continue to spend vast energies trying to trigger the exact response they’re repeatedly complaining about.

I accept that in several regards this makes me bigoted against myself, but thoughts like that are the root of growth.

Utski, if I don’t go away will you taunt me a second time?


Anarcho-syndicalism sounds like a righteous way to live. It would probably be a good step toward perfecting our union. Most of my agenda can be shoehorned into its precepts with very little trouble.

Interesting -


Hannah Brown: A rap song got the "Bachelorette" star in hot water. She had to apologize for using the N-word while attempting to rap the lyrics of DaBaby's "Rockstar" on her Instagram Live. The whole situation resurfaced debate as to whether it's ever appropriate for White people to use that word. Here's a clue: It's not



https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/23/entertainment/entertainment-newsletter/index.html

Context matters a lot.  If it's in the song lyric then I don't see the issue. I wouldn't say it. But I don't blame anyone for saying it if they're singing the actual lyrics.   Can't have it in the lyrics and want everyone to support the song but then do a "Gotcha!" on them.

Yup!

More than 15% whiter than Portland.

I wasn't planning on naming them. because I doubt Ward will admit he is wrong even with the facts and link in front of his face.

But there are at least 7 more:
Omaha, Madison, Spokane, Lincoln, Gilbert, Mesa, and Scottsdale.

That's without counting cities that are smaller, like Manchester, NH, Billings, Cedar Rapids, Sioux Falls, Springfield (MO), Fargo, Sterling Heights, and others, that you would prefer to ignore.

True of Trump speeches in 2016. True in 2020.

[bambu.]

Trump is not Hitler.
Trump is taking the country back from the anarchist grip of others.

Trump is not Hitler.
Trump is taking the country back from the anarchist grip of others.

Trump is not Hitler.

It's not through lack of trying.

And no, the country is not in that grip - you buy Trump's words without comprehension.

And if anything, he is pushing it in that direction, not taking it back.

Trump can’t paint. Also, he has no mustache.

Trump is losing his grip on the country, his crime spree, and himself.
