Portland, Oregon, America's Whitest City isn't so bad according to Donte Moss, T. Walker, and Brad Simmons are three young black men from North Carolina. You don’t hear that kind of message too often and certainly not on this show. Portland is known as a white liberal city with some serious racial problems. But these guys put it all in perspective. Sadly, the racism in Portland can't really compare to what these guys have had to experience in North Carolina.Moss, a former defensive end for the Tar Heels (University of North Carolina), moved to Portland several years ago and has brought out Walker and Simmons to check the place out. Together they are part of the art and community promotional group S.O.U.L. Society. For them, Portland is a land of opportunity, free of the front-stabbing oppression of Southern-style racism. Cornelius sat down with them for an informal chat about their lives as black men, what it’s like in North Carolina, and why they think Portland is so exciting to them.More from Soul Society herehttp://soulsocietync.orgFind us at:https://anchor.fm/priced-out-podcasthttps://www.pricedoutmovie.comhttps://www.facebook.com/PricedOutPDXhttps://twitter.com/pricedoutusahttps://www.instagram.com/pricedoutmoviehttps://www.youtube.com/c/pricedouttalesofgentrification
