[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thing about California is that it didn't receive large numbers of Black folks during the Great Migration, as it was not an industrial center.

So, the dwindling numbers of Black people in Oakland and LA are definitely cause for concern, but there are historical reasons why the Black population of California was never more than maybe 10%. [/quote]

+1. That's the primary reason.[/quote]

+2. Likewise Washington and Oregon. [/quote]

Well, Oregon was founded as a Klan state (and used to encompass much of present-day Washington), so that's a bit of a different kettle of fish.  [/quote]

Oregon became a state in the 1850s. The Klan did not exist until after 1865.  Oregon territory included all of present day Washington State, but when Oregon became a state it did not.

So much misinformation on this thread. [/quote]

You are right about when it was founded, but you forgot the part about the state's constitution forbidding blacks to live, work or own property there.
