Please Call Me Doctor: Official Fired for Refusing to Respect a Colleague’s Title
Earning the title of “doctor” doesn’t come easy. You have to earn several degrees before you can be called a doctor in any field. Respecting the title is key to respecting the person’s authority.
Unfortunately, Tony Collins didn’t seem to get the memo. During a recent Zoning Commission meeting in Greensboro, North Carolina, Collins refused to acknowledge Dr. Carrie Rosario’s credentials even after being corrected several times. Many are calling the exchange a microaggression, something many black women experience on a regular basis.
