According to an email obtained by the Portland Tribune, Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler told city employees they have an uncontested 40 hours of bereavement leave to “mourn 400 years of African-American oppression, including the police killings of African-Americans across the country.”

City employees, of course, are paid via tax dollars. And the United States is not 400 years old.

“As a nation and as a City we continue to grieve the recent loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, and others in the country and in our community,” Wheeler started the email. “We acknowledge that Black employees are experiencing collective grief and trauma coming from a culmination of oppression that is over 400 years old.”

If you know where to look in the Constitution you will see the importation of slaves was supposed to end in 1808 but those compassionate democrats weren't having any of it and have kept blacks down to this very day.

When people really start dying everyone needs to remember who among our leaders stoked the resentments and made it all possible.

Is that on top of the months of paid time off to "stay home and stop the spread?"
