Everyone wants to solve their problems with a gun | Greensboro City Council discusses rash of violent crimes

GREENSBORO, N.C. Greensboro leaders addressed a recent rash of crime, including two nightclub shootings over the weekend and a shooting at a gas station that left a 72-year-old woman dead, at their city council meeting.
The City Council said it s a community effort to lower the number of violent crimes, but also said more needs to be done.
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.
The motto always is and forever will be, protect Black women!
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.”

Tony Collins, the now-ex commissioner, refused to refer to
Carrie Rosario, who has a doctorate in public health, by the title of “Dr,” according to the Charlotte Observer. The disrespect took place during a virtual zoning commission meeting when Rosario, an associate professor at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, spoke on her concerns about a development project next to her home.
Towards the end of the four-hour meeting, Collins, a partner at Collins & Galyon General Contractors, addressed Rosario as “Mrs. Rosario,” despite her request to be addressed as “Dr. Rosario.”
