[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This came up in another thread about CRT.

If you are a Youngkin supporter, do you think that racism exists in any form in VA today?

Overt racism? 
Racial biases? 
Systemic racism?

Are there racist people in the state, in this country, all over the world?  [b]Of course. [/b]Is that what you mean by "overt racism?" Do I encounter them on a regular basis? No.

Racial biases? [b]Certainly.[/b] How about the obvious political bias when you specifically call out Youngkin supporters to answer this question?

Systemic racism?[b] Maybe, a little.[/b] But nothing like in the past.[/quote]

Would you support efforts to reduce various forms of racism in VA? 
[/quote]

NP here and not Youngkin supporter.

What form do those efforts take? What kind of actions have been shown to have a significant effect on racism on a population wide level?

I would like to see serious reductions in racism and I make individual efforts to that end, but I don’t know what really works on a lagger level.

So your biggest concern is if efforts are effective?

[/quote]

No, let's just continue wasting government (read: taxpayer's) money on programs that are INeffective. No accountability needed at all - we just have to say we're "working on it." Now there's a brilliant idea.[/quote]

Right, so sarcasm aside, you support efforts as long as they are effective. And not wasting tax payer's money. 
[/quote]

They aren’t effective   That’s the point. [/quote]
