“...feeling the heavy responsibility of raising Black boys.”

Funny how she never mentions their father(s)!

Physician heal thyself.

They wait in lines for health care because it has become overrun with illegals.

Everything has been knocked down to the lowest of lows instead of uplifting as it used to be.

Understand physician? I doubt it because you all come up with your next bat crazy idea that's always crazier than the one before.

She lost me at quoting the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. Like anything they say isn’t racist.

When are Blacks going to stop being victims of themselves? If some people harbor a mistrust of, or negative view of Blacks it’s because there are so many Black thugs that give them reason. Just look at Black shows and movies, they’re overwhelmingly about violence, criminal activity and behavior, oh and lots of drugs and murder. And don’t get me started on rap. There isn’t any where near the racism there used to be, but this ‘mother and doctor’ conveniently fails to mention all the racism that come from Blacks…typical.

Why are you capitalizing “black”?

Interesting she is a doctor and admits she went to a school that was hard and demanding. However, she thinks her children should just be given things they don’t earn. That’s what’s wrong with so much of Black culture. Even when Blacks have seen in their own lives the value of expectations, they don’t want them for other Blacks. Her son’s will grow up feeling entitled and put upon and amount to nothing unless mom has enough pull as a doctor and advocate to get them stuff they don’t deserve. And even then, she won’t be happy with the results or understand why.

Indeed. From the tone of those comments, you’d think this was still the 19th century.

This broad is a total idiot and liar. The reason black boys are judged is because they’re committing crimes left right and Center because parenting completely Lacks in the black community. I highly recommend they get their acts together and start parenting these kids

This “doctor” is a typical black racist: She receives the outcome of bad behavior but attributes it not to her own decisions and behaviors but to her skin color.

To: Tell It Right
But these are blacks who love the Lord, love people, and raise kids in two parent homes.

My neighbors across the street are exactly that. I feel for them when some of our own make statements that lump them in with all who look like them.

I attended a Christmas service at their AME church, and noted a welcoming atmosphere among many, but discomfort among others. The sermon was Christ-centered, much like you'd hear in an Assemblies of God or other fundamentalist setting.

Misunderstandings about their behavior in preschool can lead to harsh punishments, robbing them of their chance to learn and play. By middle school, harmful stereotypes can lead to them being excluded from gifted programs, hurting their confidence and interest in school.

Nonsense. It's not "misunderstandings," it's their aberrant behavior.

As a public school teacher for 33 years, I can attest to the horrible behavior of black boys - and girls (NOT ALL OF THEM, OF COURSE) - excused away by the parent and school administration - all the way up to Obama who made sure these students who destroy the education process are not suspended - or disciplined in any way.

The vast majority of teachers - including black teachers - wanted to get away from black students as quickly as possible.

As far as gifted programs, most of them do not meet the lowered, very basic standards of "standard" gifted programs - which often meant they read two grades below grade level instead of four. I know b/c I taught so-called "gifted" for years, very few of whom were "gifted."

If this is such a terrible place, that black doctor should head straight for the West Indies.

“I feel caught between protecting them from the harsh realities of life in this country and giving them the opportunities to make mistakes and learn.”

Well, rather than bellyaching about how bad things are here, why don’t you just take your spawn back to the West Indies?
