Black Dentist Forced To Resign All-White Dental Practice Over Support For Michael Brown
Dr. Misee Harris, a pediatric dentist best known as the “Black Bachelorette,” was forced to resign from her dental practice after supporting slain teen Michael Brown and the Ferguson, Missouri protesters on social media.
According to Tiffany Willis at Liberal America, Dr. Harris was beloved and respected by staff and patients at the dental practice where she had been offered a partnership, until those in charge turned on her.
Dr. Harris was called into a meeting and presented with screenshots from her private Facebook page. Harris had blocked colleagues from accessing her account and she was told that a doctor who is a partner at the office, and who led the meeting, had a friend spy on her Facebook page.
The images were captured and sent to the doctor who led the meeting.
Black Girl Nerds reports:
Misee was then told that some of her Facebook posts about recent racial issues in America were “unprofessional.” The biggest bone of contention to the partners was a cartoon (see graphic below) related to the recent police murders of several innocent African-Americans across the nation. The partner held up the picture and asked Misee “Do you think we (meaning Misee’s white colleagues) are all like this?”
This was the image her colleagues took issue with:
And now the dental practice consists solely of white employees. I’m pretty sure she’ll be alright, considering her Tweet below:
How dare an independent, educated black woman have an opinion. It must be a Republican thing:
Case in point: Right before the last presidential election, in 2012 Dr. Misee Harris was invited to a dinner with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, as part of her involvement on an Obama campaign team. At that time, her employer advised her not to go because, “We’re all Republicans here,” and that “President Obama was the one responsible for the financial ruin of his office.” I was expressly told at the time, “People who wanted to work for him should not be siding with Obama.”

Let me guess, they also consider themselves good God fearing Christians, and Patriotic Americans who believe in the Constitution as long as it is agreed on that their ideas of what it said is accepted as truth and all others ideas of what is says is accepted as Anti-American. Wow, with Americans like these Hitler could have won WW2.

Can’t she sue?

As a private company, the Dentists CAN terminate an employee for their social views. On other hand, people of color CAN (and should) boycott the practice for the Draconian way that they handled Dr. Harris.

When she was admonished about the Obama dinner she should have known that she was being watched and that at least one person there wanted her gone. Moreover, it is likely many of the white patients took exception to her presence and were pressuring the doctors to get rid of her.
This woman was treated no worse than people who have supported marriage and or opposed same gender matrimony on social media. The problem is that congress is dysfunctional and the courts are running the country.

We don’t like you talking about white people making black people suffer… So we’re are going to make you suffer. Because your claim is obviously out of line.

im a african american female who went to affordable dentist in carrolton ga as a paying customer to get dental work done. i notice that not one black, or any people of color work there it was insulting and obvious from the staff as well as the othe white customer that i was unwelcome. i let the owner aware of their racial discrimination practice and told her that she dont mind taking my money but continue to racial profile african americansand i decided that not one dime will come out of my pocket. anyway this should be any blacks if u go into a place of business that want hire blacks but is sucking the life out of our community stop giving them your business.
