As reported on Madam Noire, a white official in North Carolina was fired because he refused to refer to an African-American woman as Doctor.
Tony Collins was removed from the Greensboro Zoning Commission by the City Council for his disrespect toward a Black associate professor at UNC-Greensboro. Collins wouldn’t call Dr. Rosario “doctor.” The incident happened last week at the end of a lengthy Zoning Commission meeting. During the meeting, Dr. Rosario talked about her concerns about a new development project nearby. Collins said Dr. Rosario was going off-topic and referred to her as Mrs. Rosario. She immediately corrected him and said, “It’s Dr. Rosario, thank you, sir.” Collins ignored her and said, “If Mrs. Rosario has something…” She corrected him once more, and he said, “Well, you know, I’m sorry. Your name says on her ‘Carrie Rosario.’ Hey Carrie.”

Greensboro Zoning Commission member Tony Collins had his position revoked by the City Council this week after he had an intense exchange with Carrie Rosario, a doctor and associate professor at UNC-Greensboro,
Charlotte Observer reports.
The incident occurred around the end of a four-hour Zoning Commission meeting where Rosario expressed concern about a development project that was taking place near her home. During their televised meeting, Collins was seen combating Rosario over her request to be referred to as “Dr. Rosario” and not the “Ms. Rosario” title he proceeded to call her.
