For the first time in a long time, I am using the race card.....
Girl,You are going to be just fine,it is your right to your choice when it comes to yourself.Try not to think about it so much,say your prayer and go in there and get done what you plan to have done.I Pray that you will have a successful surgery, which you will have.Look out Beyonce.!!!!!! Love You MM.
How is that playing the race card?! Before I moved to Ohio....
My PCP was black
My dermatologist was black
My dentist was black
My OBGYN was black
My girls Pedi was black
My lawyer was black
I dealt with a black insurance agent
My surgeon was BLACK
Not only were they all black, they were HIGHLY QUALIFIED and PROFESSIONAL
Yada, yada, yada....the only thing I did not do was shop at the Black Grocery store and use the Black owned bank ~though I was going to open a savings there~
Here, I finally found a black pedi for the girls (female).....I am still looking for myself black doctors.....so now I use Indian doctors and Korean---I love them....why not white...I don't know? ~hunch shoulders~ But the Indian doctors and Jewish doctors here are the damn BOMB!

Hi MM,
To me using the race card means that...... "a person has done something wrong, then when challenged/charged ...... They say they are being treated unfairly because of their skin color instead of making it right, admitting their wrong, or taking full responsibility. You know:
molest a child = they charged me 'cause I'm black
rob a bank = they charged me 'cause I'm black
do 2 hours work/get paid for 8 = they fired me 'cause I'm black
popo beat you down after a high speed car chase = that's jus 'cause I'm black
25yr/life for crack chrg while white gets probation for cocaine = race card is warranted
being followed/watched while shopping = race card is warranted
passed over for a promotion while a newer less qualified white gets it = race card is warranted
being looked over while someone white came in after you is serviced = race card is warranted
There is a difference!
You are choosing a doctor based on who you feel comfortable with. You also feel that the new doctor has more experience/qualifications with issues related to skin and healing where blacks are concerned. In fact I don't think your problem with him is that he is white but rather that he is incompetent and he has jerked you around.
I pray that all goes well for you this time around.
