    Lake Oswego is a nice place to live for anyone of any race. When I go into Lake Oswego they wonder if I'm new there or what I'm doing in LO as well and I'm white. They're protective of their community, which is why it's nice.

    They're doing the same thing with migrant workers right now, right there, out in those fields. There was even a recent case where the farm owner said the workers were not allowed to leave his property while they were there working.

    Oswego is extremely liberal (about 75% Liberal). Is it really hard to live there for blacks? Why is a distant 150-year-old, long forgotten, history of racism in Oregon still pertinent to 2020 Oswego? If I (white male) moved to the Southside of Chicago, I would have real racism directed at me. I am sure I would not make it a week without being physically acosted. The "racist" letter is a lame excuse for racism. This seems like a manufactured problem. Sorry.

    I was recently working at a property in NE Portland when a black man approached me and offered to mow the lawn for 10 bucks. I told him that I was not the owner and was just working there. He got angry and called me a "Stupid Cracker". Apparently this is not racism but I wish a white liberal elitist would tell me what I can call it because he was clearly not wishing me a good day.

    He did not explain to us exactly WHY he can't jog in Lake Oswego at night wearing a hoody. Was he arrested or harassed? Was he stared at by an old lady? Not a sole in that community cares that he jogs at night or during the day, as long as he follows the rules like EVERYONE ELSE is supposed to. This gentleman is accusing good people with no proof.
