>> you have to get lucky in life. you can't be good. i'm good. >> if you haven't noticed yet, humility isn't one of our strong features. portland, oregon, the city i hate to love. portland is an interesting town. it is widely regarded as america's whitest major city. you can have a nascar race at a tuna noodle kas role convention at a khaki pants festival. portland has always been that way. portland used to have a thriving black community, but that's change ds over the years. and who replaced those people. hip centers. when you walk the streets of portland, you feel like you're

in a mum ford and sons contest. no place is as hip as portland. i'm just wondering is it a coincidence that america's whitest city is the hippest city and it's also not a home to black people? come on. i've made a living finding humor in the parts of america i don't understand and now i'm challenging myself to dig deeper. i'm on a mission to reach out and experience all the cultures and believes that add color to this crazy country. this is the united shades this is portland, oregon a city so hip and cool that it has a tv show about how hip and cool it is. that tv show is hip and cool. portland has a reputation for being a place open and accepting

to anything. they even have an expression, keep portland weird and trust me, this dog in a sweuitor is n the weirdest thing you'll see. hipsters. a group that love to talk about how different they are while dressing the same as each other. obviously portland didn't invent the idea of hip, just like how we all love my space, hipsters are flocking to portland. you'll find gentrification and lots of weird looking dudes on bikes. like this weird looking dude on a bike. my mission here to explore the two-stories of portland. the people moving in and the people being pushed out. first on my list, a place to get your bike fixed, have a beer and get beer on your beard.

shop. something i never want to be without. there's got to be a hipster here. this coffee serves two functions. it's delicious and two it will be another annoying food pick for my inextra gram page. i bump into a blogger about coffee. that seems very portland. >> it's embarrassingly portland. >> when you say that, what does that mean. >> i mean the fact i was sitting in a really fancy coffee shop writing about fancy coffees shops with the beard and hat and whole thing. >> so the beard. that's a thing. >> that's a thing. >> it is. >> the bearded, this is about as much beard as i can grow. >> no, i mean, it's got a nice

rugged thing going on. >> there's a thing about the hipster. is that a dirty word here. >> i guess it's kind of a silly word. >> would you use that word to describe yourself. >> isn't that the point that nobody does. >> everyone knows what you mean when you say it though. it's like i think it's kind of like a convenient slur for millennials. >> so am i putting too much in by saying hipster is the n bomb of portland. >> i think i just broke a hipster. the funny thing about hipsters is no one will admit to being one. wait a minute, is that another person of color. i've got to talk to her. >> the biggest thing i noticed lately and we talked about a lot is there are not visible communities of color here. >> we talked.

code word. i'm one of those too. it's fine. we can let it all hang out. i feel like portland is a place full of really liberal accepting people, but it's very much like a bubble. like people who are all similar, you know. >> okay. >> people who are all -- they're all white. and they're all hipsters and doing their own thing. just being themselves, but who? >> who is right. who is the city for. what is going on? and seriously, where are all the dam black people? well, it's time to talk to an expert in black portlanders. >> excuse me. i'm a photographer and i was wondering if i could take your portrait if you might be interested. >> sure. why not. >> this is photographer. how are you? >> it's nice to meet you.

>> nice to meet you. >> so sounds like you have an african name. >> it's arabic. >> i have an african name too. >> i can tell. >> we have that in common. >> yes >> you have this blog, black portlanders. >> what's that about. >> it's just documenting people of african decent here in the city. >> apparently there are so few black people in portland you can make an art project about it. >> what made you decide to do a blog. >> i guess coming from memphis where i'm from originally. it's like a flip side. >> that's like the mother land. >> just connecting with people and saying hello. >> i see a black person. yeah. i don't want to stop you. okay. i'll ask. >> yes. excuse me.

i was wondering if i could take your portrait. >> do you want me to smile? >> you can do whatever you want to do. actually, you can stand right here. one, two, three. how are you? >> i'm good. >> this isn't a subpoena or nothing by tms. just prep pretend nothing is happening. >> what is the black experience in port lantd that you are having? >> as you noticed, there's not a lot of black people here. >> what? >> right. i guess it's not necessarily about the black experience. it's just about my experience.

i'm kind of making it my own. >> i understand. can i take your picture right here? you just stand right here. >> it looks like you just came from the voig shoot. >> right. she was already ready. >> i think with photography or art or inspir ration, it's a way to jump over what people are saying is going on and make something else happen. >> with that speech, i'm about to do this. >> okay. >> like it's the 60s and we're in the coffee shop. that's some truth. the call just came in. she's about to arrive. and with her, a flood of potential patients. a deluge of digital records. x-rays, mris. all on account...of penelope. but with the help of at&t, and a network that scales up and down on-demand, this hospital can be ready. giving them the agility to be flexible & reliable. because no one knows & like at&t.

portland has food trucks. i would love a tok co-wiaco wit of greens. yes, bring it on. why not portland. you see the food trucks and the amazing food. you don't see the people of the city. portland needs all food truck where you can talk to a black dude. yes, i would like to talk to a black person. it's been about three weeks. oh sure. how about a latino. throw that in there as well. when you see the food, but you don't see the people, that's called gentrification. gentrification affects every major city and it's a con stanlt

wave of people getting pushed out and new people coming in and the people who lived there and not allowed to live there anymore are getting invited to leave. you know gentrification is bad because in a lot of cities now white people are mad about gentrification. they are going i have lived in this neighborhood for two years. i remember when that coffee shop was a different cop fee shop. gentrification is squeezing people of color out of por land. the idea of squeezing people out is the american tradition. america wrote racism into our constitution stating that people who are not free, slaves, are counted as three-fifths a person. in response, oregon thought we see your racism and we're going to raise you with some extra racist racism. drawn up in 1859, the

constitution stated that no free negro not already here could move here or buy real estate. now that part of the constitution was repealed in 1927 and for some reason black people still said fine we'll move there. although things are not as extreme as they were in the past, there are real people being affected by the gentrification. i'm meeting up with pasture who has concerns about his disappearing neighborhood. >> when you see a community just overrun and you grew up in it and it changes so fast you just about get whiplash from it, it does affect you. there hasn't been a conversation. it's james shields been invasion. >> when you say overrun, what do you mean overrun. >> the highest value in our community was relationship.

we used to sit on the porches and watch each others kids. all of a sudden you have big money coming and buying everything and changing it. the whole community is uprooted and dispersed and displaced. >> they don't sit down and say this is what we're thinking about doing or about to do or how would you feel about this. >> this is a community that has many homes as well. we're having soul food, corn bred, i go to testimony same neighborhood i see some folks in a coffee shop with a kol lard green scone. i need some help here. >> it's just a change from people. they look at me like i'm in the wrong place. >> i mean, is it hard to hang in? >> being displaced like your invisible, you don't matter, you don't count. it's just a struggle. >> i understand. i understood. >> there are some families hanging in there.

the people of the par riine nea they don't speak to you. would you describe what an average person is. >> young, white, entity preneuro, up and coming, looking for a happening art si scene. it's just a strange place to be sometimes. >> there is a phrase people say here called keep portland weird. >> yes sk. >> how do you feel about that expression. >> i think they really nailed it. >> no fear of portland being weird. >> this is a city that has a naked bike ride. come on. >> the pasture wasn't exaggerating about how fast things are changing. check out the map from 25 years ago. it shows how many darker skinned people lived there back then and how many lived there in 2010.

portland has a reputation as the coolest city in america, but shouldn't it be cool for everybody? >> next the pasture wants me to hear from members of his church who are dealing directly with the effects of gentrification. >> black people who try to buy business were turned down then the next thing you know it's a buffet, boutique, so the same people i know tried to get loans to get those businesses were denied, but now they are all white owners. >> to apiece everyone we'll put a picture of what the niebd used to look like. we've become an art fact. >> you have cold calls people just literally knock on your door and ask you are you willing to sell your house. >> i live right in the heart of where a lot of this rebuilding is going on. we had a bar, a little grocery

store, a meat market, dry cleaners. it was just very bustling and everything you needed was right there. so if i'm sounding like i'm a little angry at times, i am. >> you sound focused. you could sound a lot angrier and i would understand. >> thank you. >> sounds like you had a neighborhood and now you have a house in the middle of a construction site. >> it has redefined who we are becoming as people. that troubles me. my work is to keep telling the stories of our elders. sorry. i saw them scrubbing floors and doing all they could to buy their homes and it just feels like a disgrace. i remember the echoing of laughter and beautiful big women

talking on porches and now that's all gone. so in the meantime, all we have is our stories. >> i'm not from portland, but i feel the same way about our community and our stories. as i feel like so goes portland so goes the rest of the country. >> thank you. >> there's some i notice i don't see a lot, a white guy who hasn't said anything. >> i feel like a need to highlight that. we've been talking for a while here and he hasn't said a word. >> the story of america is the story of gentrification. you guys know that. the europeans landed. this land that we discovered. can you guys just move a little bit. we have discovered this land. this land is so great that we -- just keep it moving. this is a great land. just a little more. this is a great land. this is going to be perfect for

this is cuddle up to me. is store that sells cuddles to portland. i'm here. i'm all tense and afraid and scared and alone. i feel like my place in the universe has been lost. i need to cuddle. >> cuddle up to me. >> so before we get started, there has to be rules. >> absolutely. no touching of switch suit areas. no kissing or touches of the lips. touch must be given in a platonic way. >> that's a big one. >> and if either of us becomes uncomfortable, all it takes is two taps to make it stop. >> so we pick a room. >> let's do this. >> it's only waawkward for the first ten minutes. >> you're going to move straight back and come and rest on me. little further back. even more. oh, okay.

all right. there have we go. and just relax. >> feeling a lit nervous. can you tell? >> i'm like i'm relaxed. it feels very nice, but it's like this is a new thing for -- probably for lots of people. >> this is nice. >> can i play with your air. >> sure. you tell me about yourself. >> my name is spurlock. i'm an awarehouse. how long is a session? >> probably an hour. it goes by so quick. when did you last see your wife? >> let's see, like four days ago. >> oh, you must miss her. >> yes.

wow. this is like a full on 96. >> so yeah, i went to the cuddle shop and the weirdest part wasn't the cuddling, it was the fact that a stranger touched my hair and all the black people are like that's rule number 15 on the blacklist of don'ts. i called my mom. i apologized. black people, i'm sorry. a white person touched my hair. cnn made me do it. now, i'm heading to a neighborhood formerly known as el bind. after world war ii, african-americans moved here for affordable housing. in the early 2000s they started to disappear from the neighborhood. to find out more, i'm going to see thomas.

a local music legend and one of the last black homeowners in this rapidly changing part of town. >> how are you? >> how are you doing sir? >> thanks for having me over. some beautiful guitar you're playing. >> just finished putting strings on this thing. >> have you always played music promotionally. >> no. i haven't. i still don't consider myself a professional. >> you're being real modest. who are the big name musicians you played with. >> i opened up for steve wonder and mjager. >> you created a lot of music throughout the years. >> that's true. >> you're one of four black owned houses left in this

neighborhood. >> that's true. >> how many did there used to be. >> two-thirds. >> two-thirds of the neighborhood. >> yes, in this area. >> now it's down to four houses. >> they had no choice because none of us qualified for loans even if we owned our property. >> why do you think you didn't qualify for loans. >> they had ha plan already that didn't include us. >> they decided you didn't qualify for loans before you asked for a loan. >> he is talking about a practice called red lining. check out this official government map of portland from 1938. it's so pretty. and colorful. see these red areas. those are the neighborhoods that banks refused to give mortgages and loans to. and guess who lived there? black people. that's right. black people were red lined out of getting mortgages and business loans for decades. >> now this whole neighborhood was bought by developers and new

homeowners. >> and we can't come and look at the houses anymore. >> how do you feel knowing there's forces in this neighborhood or city that want you to get out of this house that is your house that you own. >> i always felt they don't know any different because they actually don't need us. you're having a pie and you ain't got no sugar to put in it. >> so black people are the sugar for the pie. >> yes >> he is taking me on the stroll of the neighborhood. kind of a walking tour of what used to be. >> there were homes here. >> this is now a business district, but it used to be residential. >> used to be residential. like a little country town. something very special. >> i'm guessing when you were a kid. you didn't come and get some sushi. >> sushi was the last thing in the world around here. >> not a lot of sushi joints. >> no.

>> so you're telling me when you were a kid, they weren't selling come bu cha on tap. >> you didn't have that in the neighborhood. >> places like where this building is across the street here is a little place called the wing shop. you get three chicken wings and a couple slices of toast. >> all right. >> it was $150. >> $1.50. it was crazy. that building is all brand new. everything is all brand new. >> and a lot of it is all brand new within the last five years. >> yes. the buildings that are still remaining, none of the same people. >> so the buildings that have been here, it's all new tenants. >> all new tenants. i don't think there's one person that had a business here back in the day that is still in business now. >> that's a dam shame. >> yes >> that a shame. >> you wouldn't even know you

i'm going to talk to owner, kelly, and marketing director, marc preston to see what this is all about. >> what is the joint? >> this is basically a playground for people who like to make things. it's like a gym. instead of personal trainers we have talented craftsman who help you make things. >> people come here to make stuff. >> i happen to be a guy who buys things premade. in is not my area of expert teeds, but i want to submit to the process and make something. >> what should i make? >> i make lamps. >> i'm a lamp guy. lamp it up. i don't even know what this machine does. >> this is a drill press here. >> it presses and drills. >> exactly.

here for seven months. >> yes, i'm part of the problem. >> i'm glad you said something. i didn't want to say anything. >> yes, people love to move into portland and build stuff. sometimes it's lamps and other times it's giant high-rises in formerly black neighborhoods. i'm going to go talk to beverly from the church yesterday. this is a beautiful setup you have here. sitting on the porch on a sunny day. >> how about that. >> this is nice. the view is not exactly what i would pick. >> neither would i. i mean, it's a whole lot different than what it was. they're planni ning on building eight to nine story building across the street from us so then what little view we have left out here, there won't be. >> the sky is going to be blocked up.

>> we won't even get any sun. >> it will always be cloudy. >> yes. >> how do you feel about the developers? how do you feel they're treating you? >> they never said anything to me. they have never come over and talked to me. it's like they don't care. they just move in and do what they want to do. when they want to do it. how they want to do it. regardless to whoever else is involved or it might affect, they don't really care. if the guy cared, he wouldn't be talking about putting an eight or nine story building up here. that's the way i look at it. >> if they want to put an eight or nine story building there, they have the freedom if they buy the property and get the zoning rights. >> exactly. >> would that be better for you, if i was a developer and i sat here right now, what would you tell me. >> it's not too late to talk to some of the people here in the neighborhood and also when you go to the next neighborhood that you're going to be building in, let the people know.

>> so with everything that's happening in the neighborhood and all the changes that are taking place, how long do you plan to stay. >> as long as i can. they have ways of forcing you out, but i have no intentions of moving any time soon. >> thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> obviously beverly and folks like her are more than aware of the effects of gentrification, but do the gent if iers realize the effect they're having? i'm going to go check in with my friend alex from the coffee shop. and maybe get some hipster fashion tips. >> here we go. sit in the coffee shop. go play in the rain. this is what i would get. >> i'm not ready for this. >> that's a level up. >> that's fine. >> let's be honest. this shopping trip was just so i could talk alex into a conversation about uncomfortable

society issues. >> since the last time i saw you i liked to talk to people, natives of portland and one was even crying about the fact they felt like this portland is replacing their portland and you're a cool dude. i'm not blaming you, but i'm just saying like what do we do? >> dude, i really, really really wish i knew. i feel super responsible because i write about fancy coffee shops every day. those are like front line agents of gentrification. >> i appreciate you saying that. you're the front line agent of gentrification. >> it's true. cafes move in, bars move in. music venues move in and more and more white people. >> and every shop has the word ar sisal in the title. >> exactly. >> when you see the older black people in the streets of portland, just say hello. >> no problem. >> now that we've solved that, let's go get one of those crap

changing? >> seems like every group i talk to at every economic level is telling the story they can't afford to live where they used to live so they're going to this new neighborhood and the people there are feeling thread on because they can't afford to live and i'm just watching this wave happen all the way from the areas of the city that are traditionally associated with white people and money and all the way out to the areas of the city that are way way out in the suburbs that people say wait a minute, this used to be the country. >> uh-huh. >> what happens is these city people are coming in. >> then there's people in the ocean trying to tread water like welcome to my neighborhood. >> absolutely. >> there's no doubt portland is a city in transition. i want to meet someone at the vanguard of this transformation. local developer ben kiezer.

here is ben posing triumphantly at the site of his latest project. notice anything familiar? that's beverly's house right there. ben has been kind enough to invite me on the tour of new construction. feels like i walked into the belly of the beast. >> hello. how are you? >> good. thanks for letting us crash your construction site. >> welcome. welcome to portland as well. >> seems like a friendly guy. after some small talk it was time to get down to business. you represent the man. you're the guy that comes in and changes the neighborhood. if you're like i like my neighborhood, i want to stay, it's not like everyone values long-term black ownership. i agree when you say i'm the man, but i think people talk about development and just see an extreme amount of wealth making all these decisions when really in fact it's just people like any of us who have chosen

as their profession improving parts of the city. >> everyone has a different definition of improvement. >> you're right. it has it's growing pains of course. >> how do the growing pains affect the people who have i lived there all their lives. every so often as many is offering to buy her home even though she made it clear she wants to keep her home. >> we always think it's a somebody. in my opinion it's an economic force. there's no one orthopedwuone or this out come. sure there are some economic forces out of our control, but don't be modest ben. all three developments are yours, including the dam one blocking the sun to beverlys house. they're offered a tremendous

amount of money and nuts not to take this. >> money is great, and, you know, money pays for a lot of things and can help you out of a tight situation, but also some people love their house and she feels like she's being bombarded in sort of really how do you communicate with a neighborhood about like we're here, this is what's happening. >> i'm not used to people not trusting me. it takes a long time to get to that point where that woman would speak with me and honestly otherwise open the door and want to say what do you want. she would probably shut the door. >> it's hard to build the trust on their side they're saying we've been screwed six ways from sunday and also we don't know who to talk to. someone needs to talk to us and help us understand. some big thing needs to happen that is outside of the box to start that conversation. fish fry generally helps to get people out. some sort of big community thing

that feels like it's for the people who lived here their whole lives. >> but you know, if i suggested a fish fry, i would be fried. >> danan:. when they move in with that regard to neighborhood, and push out the old places. that's nonsense. i'm not allowed to say bs. you know what i mean. that's tom fooler ri. you know what i'm saying. some of these communities don't need $12 juice bars. they don't need high end see began b began. no one can drink that much kombucha anyway. you know what i'm showing saying. ♪...changing their socks. ♪you're sore and you're beat ♪from all that you did. ♪for rest and relief ♪try sealy's hybrid. ♪so take a load off
