Reddit reviews Racism in America: My Personal Stories and Insights

The whole of southern Oregon is racist as fuck. Most of those cities were sundown towns within living memory. The KKK was briefly headquartered in Grants Pass. Oregon's only recorded lynching of a black man was in Coos Bay. They still burn crosses in Medford. The only place I would consider living down there if I were a person of color is Ashland, because the Shakespeare Festival is a big enough mover to force the local government to at least talk about being less racist. Don't just take it from me: Robert Jackson wrote a book about it.
