of color disadvantaged and in
fear at the hands of oppressive
forces,” said Omar Alvarado.
Ramiro “RJ” Navarro told
the story of a Latinx woman
who texted him while her
landlord was trying to evict
her from a home in Keizer.
The woman gave birth to a
child four days before moving
in and the landlord began
lodging complaints against her
almost immediately, Navarro
said.
“If you want to make
people feel included, stop
protecting racists. It’s as simple
as that,” Navarro said. “Listen
to the people of color, the
ones who don’t need to hear
examples (of racism) because
they experience it every day.”

Mayor Cathy Clark said
that a situation like the
eviction happening in Keizer
was “incomprehensible,” a
word choice that would come
back to haunt her before the
night was over.
“The council is meant to
represent the community and
it is tiptoeing around these
issues for the sake of white
fragility,” added Elizabeth
Heredia. “Words matter a lot
in our reality. Think about
that and the responsibility
you have to protect all of your
constituents, not just a few.”
Resident
Betty
Hart
suggested that members of the
council do more homework.
“BLM is not a hate group,
it is a movement to bring light
to issues people have faced for
hundreds of years. I hope you
will take the time to look up
Jim Crow laws and the Tulsa
white supremacy,”
Poteet also addressed the
chair typically occupied by
Kohler
whose
particular
comments ignited the backlash.
“This is an action taken
very often in government,
when the people speak the
politicians are absent and that
is incomprehensible,” Poteet
said.
Clark said it was a poor
word choice on her part, “I
do understand that it happens
to people. I comprehend that
it happens in this city, but I
don’t understand the thought
process that goes through
people’s heads.”

drew on his experiences
being married into a black
family for 25 years and took
issue with Clark’s use of the
word
“incomprehensible”
when it came to the eviction
predicament faced by another
Keizer resident.
“Eyes get big and eyebrows
are raised to something that is
incomprehensible to us, but it
is simply a reality to somebody
else. They comprehend the
incomprehensible very well.
They can smell it. They can
taste it. We can see it, smell it
and taste it if we choose to
look that direction,” Poteet
said. “Not comprehending isn’t

Massacre,” Hart said.
Resident LaTonya Gibbs
suggested that a deeper
understanding of the issues
was a matter of empathy.
“A small city or government
of any sort isn’t a business, it’s
a community. If we can’t fi nd
a sense of empathy for the
people who live nearby, then
we are lost,” said Gibbs.
Another longtime resident,
Bob Salazar said, when he
moved to town, Keizer had
a reputation for not being
welcoming, but he was lucky
to fi nd supportive neighbors.
“The color of my skin still
tells people who they think I
am, but they don’t know me,”
Salazar said. “The more we can
say in our values that white
supremacy is something we
will not accept, the better off
we are.”
