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.â€
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.â€
