Virginia needs sweeping changes to its schools, housing laws, criminal justice system and other areas of policy to remedy the legacy of centuries of government-sanctioned racial oppression, according to a new report the state released Wednesday.
It’s the latest effort of a commission empaneled by Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, which began its work in 2019 with an examination of racist laws that — though long unenforced — had remained on the books.
The report, around 100 pages long and layered with primary sources and historical research, focuses on six policy areas: housing, education, criminal justice, health, environmental justice and agricultural equity. University of Virginia law students worked on the research and drafting that formed the basis of the report, and commissioners arrived at policy recommendations through majority votes after taking public comments and suggestions from advocacy groups.
Wednesday’s report, provided to The Associated Press ahead of its public release, concludes that the impacts of those now-purged laws have persisted in varying degrees, and it recommends dozens of policy changes to “dismantle this structure, and to address the lingering and disparate effects of Virginia’s segregationist past.”

The AP headline is a lie.
Any state that has gun control laws has racist laws.
This from the racist blackface governor and the racist blackface attorney general.
Some of these proposals are truly insane. They are going to make life hell for landlords. Watch for rental property to disappear or for rentals to become slums.
Any state that has abortion-protection laws has racist laws.
Another box checked for VA...
In America, it is up to each i ndividual to make his.own life better.
Not that AP wants to.here that.
Where are the dempcrats on renaming all the bridges, roads, buildings and areas and landmarks in West Virginia named after ku klux grand dragon democrat senator Robert Byrd?
When will he resign for his blackface get-up?
Why won’t he resign for pretending to be a black person thinking its just a costume?
Why should he be in a position of power for doing this?
Make them live up to their own standards.
Gov. Coonman
[[Report: Racist Virginia laws are gone, but inequities linger]]
Inequalities for black folks? Perhaps it still exists, But honestly- the tide has turned and now it is white folks who are not allowed to dine in restaurants, or walk down the streets without being assaulted (if they are trump supporters-) Who are being assaulted on buses, in parks, pulled from their cars and beaten, Who are beaten up in schools by gangs of black kids, Who are harassed wherever they go by antifa and blm
Inequalities? You betcha- and it’s a two way street- with it becoming pretty dangerous to be a white conservative these days, especially a white conservative Trump supporter
How can Virginia reform itself when its governor wore blackface and in violation of his medical Hippocratic Oath, advocates the killing of babies as they are being born or just born; it’s Lt. Gov. is facing two serious allegations of being a rapist; and its Att. Gen. is a hardcore Marxist and possible Soros-buttboy?
I won’t even go into the insanity of the state legislature’s Democrats and increasingly stupid black racist members.
They make the cast of “Alice in Wonderland” seem like sane folks.
Yes. Hypocrisy and double standards prevail.
Dems get away with everything. Conservatives are ridiculed and silenced.
Will whites try to stop the insanity?
The insanity continues and sadly will end up at the barrel of a gun
Northam’s really bending over to kiss black asses since he got caught in blackface.
