Oregon Dem Slammed After Suggesting Blacks Get Day Off After Rittenhouse Verdict: ‘Everyone Involved Was White’
On Wednesday afternoon, the Vice Chair of the Oregon Democrats Black Caucus suggested that employers give their black employees at least one day off and possibly two after the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is delivered because no matter what the verdict would be, it would be hard for black people to work and it wouldn’t be fair to expect them to.
Gregory McKelvey tweeted, “Employers, consider giving your Black employees a day or two off after the Rittenhouse verdict. Regardless of the outcome, it’s going to be hard for Black people to work and it isn’t fair to expect them to.”
