5/26/18 New York Times:
In Portland, Ore., organizers of the “Reparations Happy Hour” invited black, brown and indigenous people to a bar and handed them $10 bills as they arrived, a small but symbolic gift mostly funded by white people who were asked not to attend.
Brown Hope, a local activist organization, wanted the event, which was held on Monday, to be a space for people of color in a mostly white city to meet one another, discuss policy issues and plan potential action.
A mostly white city in an overwhelmingly white state where there were never
any slaves.
A state in which blacks were unconstitutional until 1934.

Knew that. Guy who made it happen tried to do the same to California and he is why California has no RKBA in its state constitution.
