MTP, yes, point taken.

Oregon just didn't have enough Blacks to keep the KKK's busy.
The original State Constitution prohibited Blacks from owning real estate anywhere in the State. It wasn't until after WWII that significant numbers of Blacks settled in the PDX area.

Southern Oregon had KKK activity against the Native Americans, based on land and water rights, and the Chinese laborers who worked in mines and on the railroads. A history that still has lingering effects.

KKK...Oregon's "equal-opportunity" hate group.
