WSLS 10 News questioned Gov. Ralph Northam on the issue while speaking at an event in South Boston. “We talked about that very issue that racism is a health crisis issue. We’re looking at a proclamation. That starts with leadership and a message that comes from the Governor and other individuals. It’s something that I’m discussing with that advisory board. I’ll work with Del. Aird and I think you’ll see more in that regard,” commented Gov. Northam.
Del. Lashrecse Aird represents Virginia’s 63rd district in the House of Delegates. Part of the General Assembly’s special session, Del. Aird introduced a resolution that would formally acknowledge racism as a public health crisis in the Commonwealth. “Virginia is responsible for a lot of the racism here in the country," said Del. Aird. "This is ground zero. To me, what that means is our systems in place need to be checked and assessed.”
In her proposed legislation much like in other areas, Aird says systems would immediately be put in place to address “systemic inequities,” as she describes it. However, the real change, she believes, starts at home to alter mentalities. “Until we change the hearts and minds of people and how they choose to act and engage with one another, it doesn’t matter what policies we change, it doesn’t matter what laws we create," said Del. Aird. “It’s so much bigger than that.”

Does this mean that racists can get special accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, e.g. separate seating, water fountains?
Will racism be covered as a preexisting condition under Obamacare?
Can minorities be treated for racism or will the healthcare system discriminate against them for that too?
Maybe even experiment on minorities to see the effects of end-stage racism (riots, looting suburbs, tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln, denouncing patronizing White liberals)?
liberalism is our only public health crisis
So, Lashrecse Aird (I have no idea how to pronounce the first name and we are now told it’s ‘racist’ if we mispronounce it) what if people don’t want their ‘hearts and minds’ changed? Reeducation camps?
Great idea. Then anybody deemed racist can be forced to stay inside their house. I imagine both talking and singing could contribute to its spread as well.
Affirmative action brings systemic racism into universities, corporations and government. How can people not see this?
Should LIBERALISM be declared a public health crisis? Yes, and so should STUPIDITY...
