According to the Portland Police Department the Black male matched a description of a robbery suspect who was wearing a mask and dark jeans lol Listen very closely to the line of questions that the Black man has for the Portland Police Department. The racist State Of Oregon is known for it’s Oregon black Exclusion Laws. Early white settlers in the Oregon Country often held both anti-slavery and anti-black beliefs, and many came from states, such as Missouri, which had some version of exclusion laws. White settlers believed banning slavery would eliminate political controversy, but feared that settlements of freed slaves would compete for power with whites. One early migrant wrote that Oregon pioneers “hated slavery, but a much larger number of them hated free negroes worse even than slaves.

In 1843, the Provisional Government of Oregon established a set of organic laws, including a ban on slavery: “There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the said territory otherwise than in the punishment of crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.” Enforcement of the law was left unclear. After a vote on June 26, 1844, the first Black Exclusion law reiterated a ban on all slavery in Oregon territory, while also forcing blacks and mulatto settlers to leave Oregon territory within three years (two years for men), or else to be whipped “no more than 39 times.” This section was amended in December 1844 to permit a free slave to be resold on the condition that the slave owner agree to remove them from the territory at the end of the contract, which was held with the provisional government. In effect, this re-established slavery on a temporary basis for three years.The law was repealed in 1845, having never been invoked.

On September 21, 1849, the US territory established its second exclusion law, declaring a ban on “any negro or mulatto to enter into, or reside” in Oregon unless already established there. At least four blacks were punished under this law, including Jacob Vanderpool, a sailor, and three others who were eventually permitted to stay.

An 1850 census showed fewer than 50 black residents in the state of Oregon, including a mixed-race man from Pennsylvania, George Washington Bush, who was forced to move North of the Columbia River after the first exclusion Law was passes. George Washington, another unrelated free man, was the founder of Centralia, Washington.

On April 16, 1852, Robin Holmes, a black slave of Nathaniel Ford, brought a case to the territorial Supreme Court, charging that he and his family were being held by Ford illegally. Holmes v. Ford was heard by four judges, culminating in Judge George Henry Williams’ June 1853 ruling that slavery was illegal in Oregon. Descendants of Holmes have since stated that Ford had encouraged the lawsuit as a means to bring an end to slavery in the state.

On November 7, 1857, Oregon’s delegates to the state Constitutional Convention submitted proposals to legalize slavery and to ban blacks from the state, including a ban on signing contracts or owning land. The slavery amendment failed, but the exclusion law passed. Oregon was the only state admitted to the Union with such an exclusion law. There are no records that this law was enforced, and the legislature voted down a proposed 1865 law that would authorize sheriffs to deport black residents in their counties
