If VA found no bias or racism you can be assured there is no bias or racism.

HUD hired a outside contractor to do the review and she had no idea what she was doing or looking at, I had to hold her hand through the entire appraisal. For instance I just stated “Contributory Value” and she said, “What is that” My hope is that the Inspector General’s Office fires her an
