NP.  Not sure why you're so upset about Oregon.  Someone posited that the "historical reason" there are so few blacks there is that the state wasn't an industrial center.  But Los Angeles and SF certainly were industrial centers as were Seattle and Portland and all these cities received a great many blacks during the Great Migration.  http://guides.lib.uni.edu/content.php?pid=322696&sid=2836317

So yeah, misinformation all around.

However, northern cities were far more violent toward black people when it came to real estate.  Mob attacks and bombings were common in Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and smaller places in between, though they don't teach much about that in schools.  Weakness or pure f*cking evil?[/quote]

None of those were industrial centers on the scale of Chicago or Detroit or Cleveland at the time of the great migration.  Plus they were more distant.  They did receive some  black in migration then (at least the Calif cities did) but smaller.
