"Black employees should get time off after Rittenhouse verdict, says Oregon Dem politician
Gregory McKelvey's reasoning is that, no matter what the verdict, "it's going to be hard for Black people to work and it isn't fair to expect them to."Oregon politician Gregory McKelvey, who is Vice-Chair of the Oregon Democratic Black Caucus, proclaimed that employers should consider giving their "Black employees a day or two off after the Rittenhouse verdict." His reasoning is that, no matter what the verdict, "it's going to be hard for Black people to work and it isn't fair to expect them to."
"Companies can and should look inward to directly address the cumulative depleting effects of systemic racism on Black employees," the Harvard Business Review said, "antiracism efforts are incomplete and may exacerbate racial trauma and fatigue if recovery is absent. We also recognize that, for so many Black employees, recovery can’t wait. Although it may not be possible to fully “heal” from an ongoing trauma, both managers and employees can start creating space for recovery and resilience today."
McKelvey, who co-founded Resistance in Portland, Ore., was jailed after an arrest in September 2011 with a violent incident involving a minor: "strangling and kidnapping an ex-girlfriend while he was an 18-year-old student at Oregon State University," Oregon Live reports."
