Quote:CARSON CITY, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — Gov. Steve Sisolak issued a proclamation to formally name racism as a public health crisis today.

“Institutional and systemic racism has gone on far too long in this country and in this State. Based on research, we are taking a proactive approach in joining fellow leaders around the country to declare racism as a public health crisis, “ said Governor Steve Sisolak. “I am grateful to be joined by the Nevada Legislature in recognizing that racism manifests in measurable ways, including in public health. I look forward to working with Nevada leaders and the Office of Minority Health and Equity on this critical issue.”

According to the governor's office, experts and studies have shown that negative social determinants, with racism being at the forefront, have adversely impacted the health of minority communities. This has also been demonstrated in many forms including inequitable access to mental health services and a lack of educational and career opportunities, among many others.

With this proclamation, Nevada joins other state and local governments that have passed or are considering similar declarations to raise awareness and with the goal of instigating long-term change across all sectors of government, including education, housing, and criminal justice.

COVID has proven that a "public health issue" can be used to circumvent the Constitution. Racism will now be handled like a "virus"... whatever a local politician says you must do, you must do... for public health reasons.

This crap can't possibly stand up in the courts

can it?

Well, gangs are a public health crisis, killing more young black men than all other causes combined. I’ll wait for the proclamation.

Gretchen did the same thing in Michigan the other day. I'm curious how she & this NV governor are planning on fixing it.

Man, they'll do just about anything to make sure Blacks stay on the plantation. I believe a lot more will vote for Trump than people can comprehend.

Hallelujah, this will fix racism! Why didn't someone think of this sooner?

Personally, I think Democrats are the real public health crisis.

Courts appear to be compromised or rigged.

So what is the practical effect of this? Does it have any more legal consequence than a governor's proclamation that today is "Joe Blow Day"?

Looks like so much political grandstanding.

Apparently they can make any mandates they want under the guise of a “crisis”

Every morning when I wake up I thank God that I made another day. Then I watch a little news and I thank God that I live in Montgomery County, Texas.

These are all test runs for what they REALLY want to do. Look for guns to be a health crisis in the near future. No matter how small the liberty being taken, they are all worth fighting for.

Is this guy the brother of Moe Sisolak from "The Simpsons"?

FUUUUUK!

Can someone please tell me exactly what SYSTEMIC RACISM is? Maybe I just live in Mayberry....

That sounds to me like it is some form of public policy by white people to keep all POC down. Or is it some very large and widespread secret society that I have never ever heard of in my 50+ years that is running our country and marionetting corporations and government officials to keep POC under their thumbs? I mean I am a 50+ year old Middle Class white guy, I also have a C-Suite job - I am THE prototype to be recruited into this culture and I have NEVER EVER heard of anything like this. WTF?
