[ applause ] gentrification is squeezing people of color out of portland and that's part of the american tradition. america in fact wrote racism into our constitution. stating that people who were not free, slaves, were counted as 3/5 a person and oregon thought we see your racism and we're going to raise you with extra racist racism. the oregon constitution stated that no free negro or mulatto not already here could move here or buy real estate. dam. now that part of the
