My father, God rest him, used to say political correctness was nothing more than an infringement on his freedom of speech. He was correct.

“Are you ready to be locked up in an asylum at the whim of a politician merely because you are white and thus a racist in need of “treatment”?”

I’ll make sure they take me out of this life before they take me there.

"...“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...”

I have to agree for once with "Gov" Northam. Racism is indeed a health crisis issue. If you live, work, own a business, or even travel through these areas inundated with racist Black Lives Matter people, racist Antifa, and racist governments like that found under "Gov" Northam, then your health and all being could indeed be in crisis, and for obvious reasons.

As for Lashrecse Aird's assertion that “Virginia is responsible for a lot of the racism here in the country" I regretfully have to agree that she/he/it is 100% correct in this as well due to the influx of Leftist racists from Washington DC. However, if one subtracts the counties that border Washington DC, it is quite a different story.

The Richmond area, the cities around DC, and the coast are liberal. Rest of us are mostly God fearing, family loving, gun owning conservatives. My heart breaks for this state. When I was young it was so much different. Now the liberal cancer is starting to spread and it’s probably terminal. :_(

“Systemic racism”? Would someone please give me an exact definition of this term? Racism is the belief that one race is superior or inferior to another, or, it’s a policy based on race. So, systemic racism must be policies based on race. The only one I can think of is affirmative action. Is that what they want to get rid of? If so, I’m with ya all the way.

Agreed, but my problem is the democrat party is no longer really democrat. It’s socialist/marxist...and heading toward pure communism.

We have established the "public health crisis" is a reason to suspend constitutional protections.

There will never come a time without a "public health crisis" as long as Democrats have anything to say about it.

The Democrats take the position that constitutional rights as such are racist.

The Left doesn’t have control of the legislative or executive branches. The Judicial Branch is slowly being taken from then.
How else can they make their whims law?
By making making it health crisis...

So we are going to need a cure, or a vaccine, or PPE for this public health threat, racism.

Masks are mandated for Covid.

How about a total body mask for racism?

Well, does burka come to mind?

What racism? Live and let live is the truth of normal American life. We are all too busy with our own lives to be distracted by this nonsense.

When I used to hire people, the first thing I discovered is that you can't judge a person on superficials like race. Some of the best workers I had were black. Without a doubt the worst couple of workers I had were white trash.

This is just another step in their thought control agenda.

If false accusations of racism is included in the definition of racism, then yea.
The inability to distinguish between real and manufactured problems is a mental health crisis.
Liberals and Karens hardest hit.
