This is the story of all Black professionals.
My sister is a medical doctor for internal medicine which is considered prestigious in France. She faces racism from patients to colleagues all the time. It's heartbreaking to hear all these stories; I really feel for all my sisters & brother who have to fight racism on a daily basis in the healthcare industry
My brother and sister in law were both working as lawyers in Paris over a decade ago. They had similar experiences. I'm glad they left... They are doing amazingly well in Africa now!
I am happy that this sistah is a native black American, who is not blind to the historical and systemic racism here in the US.
Lol.....Her name is Uche, she's got Nigerian heritage
@@obdanny2000 lol, don't believe that just because an American has an African name that means that they are African, or have Nigerian heritage. My niece's name is Oni, and there in nothing African about her. When Uche was born a lot of black Americans were giving their children Africa names. Trust me, she is FBA, born to a single black woman in Bklyn NY
@@japhya0378 What is FBA?
@@obdanny2000 FBA = Foundational Black Americans/Descendants of the US enslaved. Native Black Americans..

So nice to see Ms. Jenkins again. To Dr. Blackstock, my sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. Thank you for following in your mother's footsteps.
Before he passed. Derrick Bell, one of the creators of CRT, said racism was a permanent fixture in American life. He received flak galore but fast foward thirteen years later and it's still with us. If one goes back to the founding of the country our constitution created two classes of inhabitants, one class known as citizens and the other known as non citizens being individually 60% of a human. Seven decades later in the classic Supreme Court case Scott v. Sanford, the Chief justice of the Supreme court, Roger B. Taney, read the verdict which in part said blacks in the US had no rights a white person need respect. Nearly four decades later in Plessy v. Ferguson the court said it was lawful for whites to not allow blacks into their space. Subsequent court rulings overturned these but too late. From 1865 to 1964 Jim Crow laws did exactly what had been overturned. It is now 2024 and the acts continue but with sublety. The solution? BLACK COOPERATION AND UNITY among themselves. Where black America is concerned America has always been two nations. Blacks need to unite, in house, and decide what they can do for themselves with no outside help.They need to understand they have no friends except each other. Yet millions of them still believe they can exist with and among whites in peace on terms of equality. Not going to happen. There are exceptions with some genuinely fair minded whites but they pale in comparison to reality. Not all but many whites want blacks nowhere near them. They don't however want the distance to be too great for them to be unable to treat them as they please. Derrick Bell was right.
She’s such a beautiful soul. God please bless her exponentially.
I'm a Black professional Man who loves Black Women so this interview was a piece of heaven to me!
We need to create our own hospitals and clinics. Stop playing on their field and create our own playing field that encourage and promote Black medical professionals and provide care for Black patients.
Most Wonderful Thing Ever Completing That level of Education Hallelujah 🕯️💯
The idea of "weathering" is REAL, and don't let anyone tell you it's all in your head. While I didn't have a name for it as a very young person, I've been conscious of the feeling for almost my entire life. I've retreated to nature when I'm starting to feel rundown from it. It works!!!
I always retreated to nature for healing, as well.
Love the fact that Black doctors come out of HBCU!!!!!
The one who finances have the power to control period !
YeeeeUp, however this one did not. I am happy that she is a native black American who is not blind to the historical and systemic racism here in the US.
Thank you Dr. Uche Blackstock. Talking about White Supremacy Racism is an unpopular topic amongst and between black people but it is the most important topic because it affects our lives and it’s very difficult to solve a problem that is not being discussed and acknowledging. So thank you for having the courage to share your workplace experiences dealing with Racism White Supremacy. It is greatly appreciated!
I'll be honest, I had an ambition to become a physician, but that lack of real support and mentorship scared me from even trying. The financial burden alone was paralyzing to me, not to mention the thought of "what if I dont make it," despite having good grades. Sometimes I wonder what could have been, if I had the courage to try, but I'm genuinely glad I became a Medical Lab Scientist. 😊
This is such a powerful conversation! So many lies are being taught to our black children about college not being for everyone and I think those ideas being said at such a young age even impacts how our children think of themselves. I love that she values affirmations in her home and worldwide with her book. I will be purchasing it
BEAUTIFUL,BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL!!!❤❤❤
Stay strong. Love from the black doctors of Chicago ❤️
Really glad I stumbled upon this.
This is happening because we integrated. And it’s disgusting.we need Black doctors desperately.
Me too! This is definitely going on today. What a shame.
OMY. I WENT TO BROOKLYN COLLEGE ALSO. BRAVO, BRAVO, RIP MOM.
I will take a black doctor any day of the week to take care of me.
I wouldn't. I had a very frustrating Black doctor for about 30 years. Near the end of the 30 years he refused to believe my symptoms were true and refused to refer me to a neurologist. This decision had a negative impact on my health - I do have neurological issues.. As a Black Woman, I prefer a Black doctor but wouldn't assume that I will get better care just because the doctor is Black.
@@panamaprincess1Ummm you’re not FBA/ADOS
@@troywest1724 what do you mean?
Precisely. Just read Harriet Washington’s Medical Apartheid if you need any further research or evidence for how we get treated in the field of medicine.
@@lessconfused5179 some black doctors have the same attitude as those in medical apartheid, especially if you are poor.
Dr. Blackstock’s book is the best book I’ve read, and I highly recommend you read it!
I want for Black Americans to stop being surprised by the racist behaviors of individuals. I want us to move past seeking their validation, and focusing on who we are and knowing our worth. We must know the dangers of the environments that were in, but after that we need to move with precision and with knowledge. Please stop allowing your feelings to be hurt by these people. Use your valuable emotions and energy to help our people.
So precisely stated. I second your statement and have stated the same. Thank you.
Both times that I got C-sections, I was being told that I was feeling pressure, not pain. I insisted that I was feeling pain. Fortunately, my husband was with me in the operating room and he raised his voice. I got relief with the first C-section. I did not get relief with the second one. The anesthesiologist told my husband that if he gave me any more morphine, I would go into respiratory failure. So I went through the rest of the surgery feeling all that pain. There were other instances where a doctor orders decided that I did not need the proper level of pain medication or any pain medication at all(i.e. a gynecological biopsy In 2013). Fortunately, those times are fewer now. I haven’t had a black doctor since 2008
1/6/24 Shabbat Shalom to All thank you very much for this video just want to say this situation is also in the UK 🇬🇧 and is called Instutational Racism Oh Father Yahweh protect your chosen Remnent for your Kingdom purposes HalleluYah Peace, Love, Light, HalleluYah in the Rauch Ha'Qudash 🙏🏾💕
11:28 That's the ANSWER to the problem!! *'Start your own health practice.'* 💯
OMG, instead of starting her own practice and at least provide basic care so not only can she help her community and provide objective data to fight racism in health care, she starts yet ANOTHER consultancy that the system can use as a defence.'No, we are not racist we did a training'.
Am I supposed to be grateful that someone who looks like me now can make money in a system that keeps me sick?!
We need doctors who will actually help us and lawyers who hold those who don't accountable. Not another consultancy that thrives on using ignorance as an excuse for indifference. Now calling out racism will cost you racist clients
My condolences to you and your family.
This doesn't make sense and it frustrates me. The fact that this is a long, continuing issue shows the medical community are degenerates. They have no compassion and it's a slap to the face that they swore an oath to serve and provide health care to people.
What part of telling a doctor/nurse that I'm in pain being black means they don't need pain medication. Jesus Christ they are telling you (in English, our country's national language mind you) they are in pain???????? This is no different than any patient of race. It's pathetic and these people put any health care profession to shame... no sense of professionalism and decorum. Thank you for sharing your story. People need to see this video and read your book Dr. Blackstock (see people.. addressing someone by their status.. by their accomplishments is not that hard to do and shows respect and dignity). I loved this interview. Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
We just don’t get it. We must build our own ! Keep thinking these devil will change. We need you sister they will never ever change
Ase, speak on it!👏🏿💯
Yeah speak on it
Show the world you're ignorance 💯
It’s laws preventing that. It’s illegal to have an all black hospital just like it’s illegal to have an all white hospital
@@user-ne5ns7sd6xwhat tf you mean show the world his ignorance?
omgosh! I was about to type this same thing.....I've always said NEVER complain if they don't invite you to the party...just make your own and out do them...have EVERYONE want to come to yours...in JESUS it is EASY...whenever He gives the vision, He also gives the pro-visions
Very few people are goingvto see this but;
America yiu are now 247 years old ,how much time do you need to fix your socio- cultural problems and fix the color biases, and fix the group inequities ?
It needs FOREVER…because it lacks the “will”…however, their reluctance to accept their ‘reality’….it really doesn’t matter cause the truth WILL prevail…their lies are crumbling cause the foundation is being exposed, eroded and destroyed ll.🤷🏾♀️
Bravo ladies
Good morning, am happy to see and hear this. Black people are the best care gives.
Great interview
She is beautiful clever, intelligent black women I will get your book. 🇬🇧
I thought America was a Christian nation!
It’s hard to believe this is going on in 2024.
😅 They say Donald Trump is Jesus Christ. So no it’s not.
Really not hard to believe if you know history of this country.
Just getting through college is hard enough without having to deal with discrimination. It is a kind of genocide, they are determined to destroy black achievement.
Thank you!
When we step back to see the BIG PICTURE we realize that this is happening ACROSS the entire laborforce.
Affirmative actioned hires is the root of the so called problems. Stop hiring people because of their skin color.
Wow !
thank you👊
Can we just build our own medical facilities? Black people are living all over this country, but there must be a place to start. We need safe medical havens. Just a thought.
It takes capital to do that......and a strong desire to make it happen.
An eye for an eye.
This is done purposely and strategically
Way to go HBCU’s!
15:28 Ned students gave less pain medication to the black patienrs
Cure racism: fasting on Juneteenth from 12am-12pm
And they always will
Candace Owens begs to differ.
It's all true.
So Sad sister
Uche is she Nigerian?
Her last name seems more like a master's name 😶🌫️
She is not Nigerian. Both of her parents are Afro Americans from New York.
@@rosie-ob8ttwhat about you, do you have a slave master’s name??
@@capoislamort100 I might disappoint you but no I don't...
Maybe but last name is English. So maybe not.
This tribalism is alive and well in 2024 on every level.
Erasing my comment doesn’t change the facts. Bias and hypocritical to boot
If people are sick they are sick. Can’t change them. Work with the ones who are healthy mentally and ignore or help those who will accept your help.
policy violence,,,,,,,lollllllllll such bs
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN,

Black PRIVILEGED....RACISM.
When will the cousins of Geobbels discard the centuries old gaslighting of people whose families have been mistreated?
When will you become noble ?
When will you become people of honor?
I am glad I was not born Caucasian, because I would feel very dishonored by the inhumane history of that group.

She maybe smart but she has no taste in dress. Purple jacket, red outfit, and white/cream shoes! 😮
She's a Nerd. Leave her be.
@@mikhelBrown I can have and voice my opinion! I have been called a nerd to but I know how to dress myself
🫠 This was so important to say. 🙃
@@AlluminaOnyxia to me it was. You don't have to read.
@@cuprunnethover2 If that's your priorities then we are all better not hearing it. Useless critique.
Spinning the racist propaganda
Both rich & a victim
I assume that you actually listened to the interview ; Did she make herself a victim?
If you were a police officer and you saw a man physically attacking a woman on the street, would you just say "hi" to the atracker, and then turn to the attacked Woman and srart blaming her for being a victim?
By the way, this is a question!
Actually, a "yes " or "no " question.
Colonizer logic is hilarious 😂
