I know there are plenty of people who have had issues with the VA, but where there are problems with the VA they are universally terrible to veterans regardless of race. Just like the military.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Government Accountability Office will investigate claims of systemic racism within the Department of Veterans Affairs, lawmakers said Thursday, two months after a government union said most of its surveyed members saw racism as a problem inside the agency.<\/p>\n<p>The survey of 1,500 union members who are VA employees concluded that nearly 80% of staffers said racism is a moderate or serious issue, with more than half reporting they witnessed racism aimed at veterans, according to the American Federation of Government Employees.<\/p>\n<p>Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, requested the probe after the survey was released in August. The watchdog agency agreed to audit VA on Sept. 22, according to a letter sent by the Government Accountability Office to the senators.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Being the federal government and this is not only an election year, but a year of &#8220;racial strife&#8221; (as the media labels it), they&#8217;re going to get started on this priority request from Congress;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The audit will begin in about six months, according to the GAO\u2019s letter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a press release from the VA in response to the senators&#8217; letter, there&#8217;s this interesting tidbit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>About 40% of all VA employees are minorities, the agency said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds like they&#8217;re very racist. Since the country is about 60% white it sounds like they&#8217;re pretty reflective of the country. As the left endlessly lectures us, these percentages are the only relevant factor by which to measure an agency.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, ninja was the source for this link; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stripes.com\/news\/veterans\/va-will-be-investigated-after-staggering-accounts-of-racism-and-discrimination-sen-warren-says-1.647154\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stars and Stripes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that serial liar and fake Native American Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has received information &hellip; <a title=\"VA will be investigated after \u2018staggering accounts of racism and discrimination\u2019\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=105826\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">VA will be investigated after \u2018staggering accounts of racism and discrimination\u2019<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[406,460,5,143],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guest-link","category-ninja","category-politics","category-veterans-affairs-department"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=105826"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105826\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":105827,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105826\/revisions\/105827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=105826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=105826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=105826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
