"Why is an Ethiopian living in Portland?" I lived in Portland for many years beginning in the 1980s, when it was routinely derided as "the whitest city in the country." It was a beautiful, safe and vibrant place. It all began to go wrong in 1988 after Portland State University started recruiting third world students to study there. Some of their Ethiopans got into a street brawl and when a few local local white kids intervened one of the Ethiopians was killed. The white kids were determined to be "white supremacists" and sent to jail for decades. This event started Portland's moral panic which led to an avalanche of self-loathing policies that coincided with the state turning completely blue a few years later. As the city's culture changed, Portland enacted increasingly insane policies that culminated in the 2020 Summer Riots. The city is now a rotting husk of its former glory, and Ethiopians hold a special place in that history.

"men from raging rape cultures"

I remember, when I was in college, the phrase "rape culture" was very popular.

does it not concern the Left, anymore? or only when the guy is white?

we were told that every man is a potential rapist.

and if a man saw a bare pair of breasts (in a men's magazine) then he MUST go out and commit a rape! he just can't help himself.

God help the boy who took a second look at the hot co-ed walking across the quad...

a girl I knew insisted that a boy had tried to rape her because he tried to kiss her at a party.

(the fool!!)

another girl I knew would hit on a guy, end up sleeping with him, then say that it was rape because he "took advantage of her" (I heard her tell the stories many times).

she did hit on me once, but I already knew the game.

however... I could see a guy who was unaware rushing right into that trap!

if a boy and girl were both drinking and ended up having sex then HE was guilty of rape because SHE wasn't capable of making decisions under the influence.
