Virginia—whose state capital Richmond was once the capital of the Confederacy—is about to become the first state in the South to declare racism a public health crisis. The state Senate approved the declaration Tuesday and sent it to Gov. Ralph Northam—who’s expected to sign it. It had previously passed the House of Delegates on an almost party-line vote, with Democrats voting overwhelmingly in favor.(Snip) Virginia lawmakers also moved Tuesday to remove a statue of segregationist Harry F. Byrd Sr., who served as Virginia’s governor and a U.S. senator, will be removed from the state capitol grounds under a bill

Virginia ceased being a southern state some time ago.

Pure insanity! Like Kalifornia, beautiful scenery populated with liberal idiots, but I am being redundant.

As a “bred and born” Vermonter, I didn’t know Racism. There were no (very few, I first met one in high school) African Americans in Vermont. Now, as a Virginian for some 45 years, there is very little “racism”. Ten years ago, there was essentially none. Presently it is being stoked, encouraged. The least imagined slight, as in a grocery store line, will cause a scene. Lacking the encouragement from “liberals”, it would be absent. This is a terrible regression promoted largely by democrats. Our Governor is despicable.

I don't like the sound of that.
There are slippery slopes and then there are headlong plummets into the abyss.

A “crisis” for which there will be no cure allowed, never to get better. Because too many profit from it.

Virginia is not a southern state. It was taken over by New York , New Jersey transplants.

Northam is totally at the mercy of radical idiots in his never-ending need to preserve his power and reputation despite his history as "C**n Man."
I also think it's no coincidence that as the "pandemic" evaporates, we have a new "health emergency" that will serve to perpetuate the authoritarian Democratic agenda.
Better yet, in their view, this "health emergency" can never end.

Racism is a public health crisis. Look at the racists running amok all summer in Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, etc. The racists were a threat to the health of law abiding citizens.
Other than that, the premise of this law and its conclusion are severely flawed.

Virginia is gone. What is wrong with Gov Blackface the Rachel Dolezel of governors.He came from a good family near our family. Guess he identifies as a black because he goes to a black church. Better yet, why did the natives allow this mess ?

We have a severe mental health crisis in the democrat party as evidenced by the policies coming from states like Virginia. Seriously, this is insane. It just goes to show when democrats invade your state and start holding public office, you can rest assured that your destruction is nigh. It never fails.

has Northam permanently painted his face black, to "blend", so to speak?

Everything nonsensical established in this country is purely from democrats. It’s a long, long list. Get rid of democrats and the country can go back to normal. “That’s terrible!” Somebody would say. Well, that’s exactly what they said publicly they would do to us. Remember Bill Ayers having said he had no problem with eliminating 25 million people if that’s what it takes to turn American communist? Considering inflation, that number has to be much higher now, like 180 million. That would more than take care of every Trump voter.

Sorry Charlie, Virginia is no longer a Southern State - she’s a suburb of DC, may she Rest In Peace.

Cool. Its about time a State recognized that every doctor, nurse, nurses aid, radiology tech, and so many other health care professionals are nothing but flaming racist and white supremeist. Next will be state mandated white privialge, racial bias, and cultural sensitivity for every healthcare professional. It is about time the goobernment identified and declared war of the racist medical professions!

Racism is a public health crisis? Seriously, what does that even mean? Secondly, what does the state of Virginia intend to do about it? I asked my friend this, and her response was 'Spend money'. Totally believable. Lets spend money on an undefined problem. Talk about a blank check. Its just a cover for more corruption and government tyranny.

Good... Will they be classifying it as a mental illness when people become so fixated on race or people being convinced that everyone is against their race that they riot, loot, murder, and steal. Will it be considered an illness when Blacks use it as justification to kill each other and commit crimes? Just wondering.

Gov. Ralph "Coonman" Northam knows a thing or two about racism. Meanwhile, Exalted Cyclops Klansman Robert Byrd of West Virginia remains in good standing.
