In an article titled “I’m Black and My Doctor Should Be Too,” Alexander Hardy, a self-described “wordsmith, educator, mental health advocate, foodie and lupus survivor,” posits that if you’re black, you’re better off having a black doctor than a white doctor because, you know, white doctors are racist.
Reciting various anecdotes of blacks who have been treated brutally, shabbily or hastily by white doctors, Hardy opines, “Disparities in the way white doctors assess the pain of their black patients versus their white patients are well documented.”
