....." to “grieve and reflect” over 400 years of black people being oppressed"......

Why? If after 400 years blacks haven't figured out how to resolve their community problems, and they know though often deny them, then why is throwing time and money suppose to work now?

Does this include the police?

You people are not American patriots.............

I am contemplating moving to Poland.

If I had to chose between Poland or Portland, I would choose Poland.

“We hear and understand that many of our employees, especially our BiPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) employees, are deeply impacted by these recent events “

BiPOC - Black, Indigenous and People of Color

WhiPOC - White Persons of Character

That was easy!

I too am deeply impacted by these recent events and I want my 40 hours.

I was thinking Australia.

[dfwgator]

Australia is just as PC as here.

Slavic people are still normal.

[TLI]

then why is throwing time and money suppose to work now?

That is the prog way, grab tax money from you, throw it at the phantom "problem" and walk around basking in their imagined virtual signal glory.

Yeah, Mayor, I really need about 160 hours of paid leave to mourn properly. After all, we are talking about 400 years of oppression.

[Osage Orange]

40 hours of PTO!!

Sheet...Can this idgit just mandate that?

The world is nuts.....

[Salvation]

This is nonsense unless those employees spend the forty hours in prayer for the state of Oregon.

[Salvation]

If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.

Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.

Portlandia is a documentary. Everyone who lives here knows that.

[chickenlips]

It’s Portland, the taxpayers probably demanded it.

I’ll bet a few Greek-Americans would like a few paid days off to contemplate years of oppression from Turkey. A lot of Chinese women had ‘a bad situation’ with the Japanese military back in the 1930’s.

[dfwgator]

I’m Polish, I have to deal with what the Germans And Russians did, so I deserve double time off!

[lee martell]

Zgadza Sie!
(that’s right!)

[caww]

Round and round it goes and they all take their cut along te way....

Huh?
