There is a catch phrase used in the Western world today during this China virus and that ‘We’re all in this together’! However, ‘If you thought “we’re all in this together” battling COVID-19, Multnomah County, Ore., is here to set you straight. We’re not “in this together,” it turns out.
In the summers local antifa and other members of the Portland Professional Protester class host social justice summer camps for impressionable children, teaching the fine art of sabotage and protest.
The rest of the year, the local black bloc-attired antifa and friends bash heads on the streets of people they have determined are “racists.”
The area, which is 70% caucasian, is one of the whiter places in the country.
Dividing people by race and demonizing “whiteness” is one of Portland’s sideshows. It’s taught in at least one of its local colleges.
In a recent publication on “Communities of Color” in Portland, Portland State University researchers determined that Portland’s history of racism causes “horrors” today.
Add to this dynamic that of whiteness and white privilege, and we create the one-two punch that leads to the horrors of racism coexisting with the privileges of whiteness. Undoing such inequities must occur at all levels of every system.
For being so “woke” there sure seems to be a lot of perceived racism there.
And now, in the era of COVID-19, Multnomah County Emergency Operations Equity Office has set up a “grounding space” for minorities to get away from “whiteness.”
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.
Just the News reported that the daily Multnomah County coronavirus response publication included the news about the safe space. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/victoria-taft/2020/05/04/oregon-county-sets-up-a-no-whites-wanted-covid-19-safe-space-n387866?utm_source=pjmedia&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&newsletterad=&bcid=08b5a1e2f2263b83e918fb56d7a12a3e&recip=26169367
‘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.”’ https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/amid-coronavirus-crisis-oregon-county-creates-segregated-safe-space
