As a white person I don't understand how someone can see her message and NOT think hateful racist.

[christophercooper]

It's not just Charlie Kirk, it's the owner of Twitter himself creating and promoting these white supremacist talking points.

[miriammercado]

She HATING because she doesn’t have the APTITUDE OR DEDICATION to be a DOCTOR!!

When you are lacking in your own abilities it's easier to lash out at others than accept the fact that you're a failure.

[aberhan]

It's not because they feel superior, I it's because they feel inferior and they feel better when they slam those who are better than them. It's pretty high school.

What an ignorant woman. On July 2, 2020, I woke up in the middle of the night, sick and having unbelievable abdominal pain. Instead of calling 911, I waited until daylight and drove myself to the Hospital ER. When I gave my symptoms, they took me to the back immediately. My appendix had ruptured. The Surgeon, a young Woman from Pakistan came to the ER, introduced herself. She saved my life. She was Beautiful inside and out, one of the prettiest Women I ever met. Some people here in this small town in South Mississippi said, she wouldn't have touched me. I was in trouble, the color of the Surgeon didn't matter to me. I hate that America has stepped back to this. Its uncalled for. Shame on this kind of ignorance.

As a black person, I actually feel more relaxed when there’s a black doctor is a part of my team. I also feel more relaxed and assure. When a woman doctor, which is part of my team.

When they tell you who they are. Believe them.

Racism still sells in the US. It's been shown to be very profitable.

My children's pediatrician was (and still is) a black woman from Ghana.
My boys loved her and I did, too. When my son's had children of their own, they looked for her but her practice was full.
Her secretary went so far as to mention that the doctor made no special allowance for previous patients as the doctor had been inundated with requests from former patients. To me, that said a lot about how much she as respected and admired.

The Confederacy never fully went away, and it's why the USA has struggled to progress over the last 150 years, with the greatest resistance from the ex-slave states.

My doctor is black. He listens extremely pleasant to deal with and is always on top of things. It’s amazing they dedicate themselves to a huge goal achieve the goal and still have to deal with people like her. She’s sick.

[freeloadingmf]

I would prefer a black doctor because of the likelihood that they had to be smarter, work harder and be three times as good as their white peers to get to where they are and get the opportunities to make it.

[debragilbert]

You best believe all those Drs are well qualified, none of them parents donated to the library or anything else, they EARNED IT

Laren Witzke was raised Methodist. She is a former drug user, and was arrested in 2017 for possession of methamphetamine and heroin, driving under the influence, and resisting arrest, after being found "unresponsive within a car parked in a busy Tennessee intersection. She attended Goldey–Beacom College, where she earned a BBA in business management, so she will never be as accomplished as those she disparages. It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. Confucius (who apparently foresaw social media)

[noway]

Yes a failed political hack should definitely sit in judgement of those trying to be doctors.
I smell the jealousy of a failed human.

[PrettyP.]

Every plane crash thus far have been piloted by a Caucasian 🤷

[spook]

When they see certain people achieve success that they haven't achieved, they attack. Under value, under estimate, and marginalize.

[oyaami]

I was watching a documentary about nurses and doctors who kill, guess what? None of them looked like me.

[wellbbq]

Betcha she wanted to be a Medical Professional at one point but couldn't cut it and found being a Racist much much easier.
