I just read this article about the discrimination that Black veterans face when trying to get VA benefits for PTSD. It’s appalling and outrageous that Black veterans are denied benefits for PTSD more often than white veterans. This is a real injustice and shows how systemic racism is embedded in our government institutions. We need to demand change and make sure that all veterans get the support and benefits they deserve. This cannot be allowed to continue.
