Who wants to tell her?

Finding a Black person on any of the videos of the chaos in Portland is like those old “Where’s Waldo?” puzzles:

Such a weird narrative given the violence on Portland is overwhelmingly from white anarchists and activists. Don't you need more than one race involved for it to be a "race war"? https://t.co/5mctFypfe9

It’s one of the least likely places in America to start a race war, actually:

Oregon is possibly the whitest state in the country…funny place to start a race war. https://t.co/YSee4BOmAv
