So the city of Portland equates 40 hours of PTO to 400 years of black people being oppressed. A bit racist.
you can hear the cries now, we should get 400 hours
and 400 seems to be a bit excessive in USA, that didn't happen... our country is how old?
we are the era of self oppression... having multiple babies without fathers...
it's time to tell the truth...stop apologizing for things we are not doing, not responsible for...

I don't care other than as long as federal tax dollars don't go to Portland and Oregon. This is why all this easy money needs to stop, imo.

Where do you think they'll get the money?
From people in those places working and paying taxes?

I have a question about this. So if they are getting 40 hours of bereavement time are there any restrictions? Are they required to stay in Portland, wash the feet of black people (if they can actually find any in Portland) and repair the damage that the few black people in the city caused?
I mean this is serious stuff here. This is a time for reflection and penance to black people. This is no time for fun and vacations.
I wonder what the city of Portland will do when the first city employee posts a picture on social media at Cannon Beach, Tillamook, Mt. Hood or Hood River in Oregon or up in Seattle, Mt. Rainier or the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. I can see the sky screaming now, they are supposed to be in reflection and sadness.

Darn, I was hoping it was Portland Maine, where certain ships might have been built or at least sailed into port.

Portland is 6% black.
A bunch of white people are getting paid time off to mourn something that didn’t affect them. Talk about privilege

LOL yeah.
The point is, federal funds need to stop... let them locally figure it, not my problem.

Don't count them out yet, Portland ME might yet be in contention.
