(Mods: that auto-suggested title is different from the one on on the page itself, but it’s honestly a better headline in terms of the article’s contents. Let me know if i need to change it.)
On Thursday, Rep. Andy Harris told Newsmax that money for wildfire aid isn’t a priority for Republicans because “we just put more money into FEMA before we left for the Christmas holidays,” and the Maryland Republican claimed that Los Angeles “mishandled the fire department so egregiously that they ought to bear some of the burden for that rebuilding.”
Be careful some people not from the area are convinced its a racist agenda…got down voted and told how shit I was for agreeing with a ethnowhite racist agenda…what’s weird is that’s the first time in my life I’d heard that.
Yah, that’s news to me. If figure if there’s racists involved, Idaho would have to be in the mix.
That’s probably part of why Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon largely want to join Idaho.
Oregon was founded by members of the KKK, if i recall. It’s demographics are like 95% white.
I spent a few years living in Oregon and I remember not being able to help having a double take the first time I saw a black person in my town. I had already lived there for years and never seen one.
It doesn’t get much whiter than Oregon.
It was basically the same as the first time I saw a black person when I lived in Sendai, Japan. They just aren’t there.
Edit: For reference, I grew up in New Jersey, where there were plenty of black people. And Latinos. We were pretty diverse. Japan is not diverse. Oregon is not diverse outside of the Portland area, maybe Eugene or Salem.
Some people from the area do in fact have a racist agenda about it. I’m from the area. I was so disappointed when I encountered those types because I liked the Cascadia idea, but I don’t want to be lumped in with them. You can see it on reddits Cascadia sub.
