#4 At least they know how to prioritize in the face of crisis.

#5 Will they have 'white' and 'colored' drinking fountains and restrooms too? How about 'white' and 'colored' lucheon counters?
Jim Crow is alive and well in Democratic dominated Oregon.

#6 “While you’re in your grounding space, the rest of us will be over here, deciding things and getting things done.”

#7 a safe "grounding space" for minority staff to escape a predominant "whiteness."

No masks required.
Crowd up there.

#9 I'd suggest they be helped, by keeping them in the 'grounding space' indefinitely. Picket it from outside. Let them 'connect' to heart's content there. And why just appoint 'Equity Officers' for staff ? Why not a 'Grounding Enforcement Division' for cities ?

#10 ^Portland is the whitest big city in America, so naturally every other lawn has a Black Lives Matter sign on it. Which is about the equivalent of me putting up a "Martian Lives Matter" sign. I promise to be nice to the next Martian I see.

#11 I always thought that "Grounding Space" was another name for "Cemetary", no?

#12 Is there a big shiny knob to grab, the one hooked straight up to the power station? A good grounding will eliminate any and all cares they have. Course, there will be the smell of burnt long pig around but I'm sure they won't mind.
