(193 posts)an independent state made up of southern Oregon and Northern California has been tossed around for decades. This isn't a new idea. It's not even so much about Republican vs Democrat. I was born there and do Not take kindly to being called a Right-Wing Yahoo. There is a history behind this idea. Read and learn.
As to racist: Think again. I grew up with first generation Americans from Italy, Germany, and Mexico. A third of my class was black. We weren't ahead of the times as far as segregation goes but we weren't difficult to convince that it would be the right thing to do to hire a black person at the grocery store. The lumber mill was Union so it didn't matter you could have been purple.
Right or wrong, it's certainly the right of the people in that region to split from California.
