Wider gentrification has displaced many black residents in north and northeast Portland. A blog entitled "Shit White People Say to Black and Brown Folks in PDX [Portland]," which details people of colors encounters with white citizens, once claimed that "Most of the people who live here in Portland have never had to directly, physically and/or emotionally interact with PoC in their life cycle," According to Walidah Imarisha and James Loewen sundown towns still have a strong pressence within Oregon. A 2014 report by the Portland State University and the Coalition of Communities found that not only do black families fall far behind white families in portland in regards to employment, health outcomes, and high-school graduation rates but that in 2010 only 32% of African Americans in Multnomah County owned houses which was 13% lower than the national average for African Americans and 28% lower than White Americans in the same county. Also that year almost two-thirds of black single mothers in Multnomah County with kids under five lived in poverty which was higher than the average for the rest of nation; being over half. Just the year before White Americans in Multnomah County made around $70,000 while African Americans made around $34,000; $8,000 below the national average. Overall the report concluded that "Oregon has been slow to dismantle overtly racist policies," and so African Americans in Multnomah County suffer as a result and have to deal with the lasting effects of "racialized policies, practices, and decision-making." The Portland African American population were also found to be disproportionately affected by crime; accounting for 45% of the city's homicide victims and 27% of its jail population. African American children in Portland were also found to be expelled the most from school, starting from Kindergarten. Native American children were the next highest. While Oregon was overt with its racist laws, the laws themselves were not too different from those formed elsewhere in the nation:  She also stated that racist practises of the past are "not only alive" but serve as "the foundation for the institutions of Oregon," and that "Portland has, in many ways, perfected neoliberal racism," Imarisha has also commented on how at events she does around Oregon on the history of black inhabitants, Neo-Nazis have frequently harassed her with "sexually explicit comments" and death threats. Hoping to dispel racism within Oregon, actions such as police reform have been flaunted. Governer Kate Brown in particular has passed juvenile justice reforms and has worked to reduce harsh prison sentences and reinvest in crime prevention and drug rehabilitation.
