In a daily report dedicated to news updates and guidance for county employees fighting the coronavirus, an Oregon county in the Portland area said it was creating a safe "grounding space" for minority staff to escape a predominant “whiteness.”
The April 5 "situation report" from the Multnomah County Office of Emergency Operations Center announced that the "Emergency Operations Center Equity Officer is hosting a grounding space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) employees to share, heal, connect, and get grounded in a space that is not dominated by whiteness."
Heather Mac Donald, a Stanford-trained attorney and fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research who writes about policing, homeless advocacy, criminal-justice reform and race relations, told Just the News that Multnomah County’s actions are particularly disturbing during a time of emergency.
“Identity politics long ago jumped from the university into the world at large, above all, into highly receptive government agencies and social service groups,” Mac Donald said. “It is of course outrageous that any alleged public health or service organization would spend any energy on reinforcing racial victimology and racial discrimination during this time of allegedly overburdened public health systems. But race hatred has been so baked into many government agencies by now that it is par for the course.”
Ron Christie, an African-American and senior staffer in the George W. Bush administration who was instrumental in getting federal backing for the The National Museum of African American History and Culture at the Smithsonian Institution, told Just the News that he found Multnomah County’s initiative to be "unconscionable.”
““If what has been reported in Portland is true, that people are being identified and classified based on racial or ethnic characteristics, it continues a disturbing trend that we‘ve seen for the past several years,

The cancer runs deep, chemo and treatments will only prolong OUR misery
WOW! Words fail me.
Isn’t that textbook racism?
“it was creating a safe “grounding space” for minority staff to escape a predominant “whiteness.”

I would like s “grounding space” too to escape from stupid liberal pukes
Everyone knows that, sheesh.
Segregation is alive and well in this Commie run county.
Your tax dollars at work, Oregonians.
To avoid whiteness, they can always repatriate to Africa.
Racists.
Or is that racist?
Okay for thee, but not for me?
I am amazed at the amount of blatant racism these days...and further amazed at the number of so-called "woke" blacks that see no problem whatsoever with it...'cause, well, you know, slavery, 40 mules and an acre, reparations, etc.
I do not discriminate.
I learned well over 50 years ago, in an integrated Army, that white and black blood was red and that it flowed as much as from the other.
I've lived by that all these years, yet, it's becoming harder and harder to find any compassion for hypocritical pieces of shit that insist I owe them for something I had absolutely nothing to do with, well over 160 years ago.
I'm fed up with it and I'll fight it to my grave.
I owe them nothing...not even their "safe from whitey" spaces.
Is this legal?
You know, I never thought I’d EVER say this, but I’m beginning to wonder if maybe the separatists — NOT people like the KKK, but those who wanted separate territories established within the U.S. for the various ethnic groups — might actually have known what they were doing after all.
Leftists do all they can to divide people into separate groups and set them at war with each other. They play the groups against one another to get votes.
The word that comes to mind with this is “apartheid.” And yes, it is all out racism.
My, how pre-Covid of you.

First, there must be an apology. "This is not who I am" will do. Then it's off to sensitivity training for YOU, idiot.
noun
noun: segregation
the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart.
So, full circle.
The early settlers of Oregon knew, and they didn’t allow freed slaves to settle there.
