The McGuire VA Hospital in Richmond, Virginia has a serious problem with their racist agenda that is forced upon white vets. Abuse, refusing us health care, harassment,intimidation, and never ending retaliation if we dare to speak out against such injustice.

The majority of personnel are black and many of the medical staff are from India,are black,and of other minority backgrounds. The administration orders that these people shove their racist attitudes and abuse at white vets who have complained of abuse and retaliation. The administrative staff would not order medical staff in any clinic to refuse any black vet access to health care. When a vet is experiencing numbness in his face and head and has to beg for health care, he shouldn't be refused since he has previously had a mini-stroke, has heart disease, and serious artery problems. This isn't a problem since the vets skin is the wrong color. This is only an example of the many crimes against vets.

The House Committee on Veterans Affairs has a number for vets to call, but when we mantion that we're being refused health care and being retaliated against, the staff are very sarcastic. Apparently they only respond in a favorable manner when they realize that a vets voice is that of a minority. The committee is very much a part of the problem of abuse and mismanagement at any VA Hospital or facility.

what is wrong with you read this latest news from va
The law requires that we treat all veterans equally in reaching a determination on each claim, regardless of the veteran’s race, ethnicity or any other factor that is not relevant to the claim. Therefore your comments concerning your race are simply incorrect.
