More "largely peaceful" Portland protests

I'd wager it's for the most part the dire life situations an ubersignificant amount of black people face, quite often due to systemic disadvantage.

I missed that bit. Please, don't do the whole genetics and race thing. There is more genetic variation between people of the same race than there is between people of different races. Race is not rooted in genetics so trying to connect traits that are being tied to race to genetics as well is extremely problematic. I'm not accusing anyone of anything because this is something that most people honestly just don't know, but going down that route is what was used to justify early-twentieth century eugenics and white supremacist theories.
