The issue with Jill Biden is that she was using her title to make it seem as if she was a medical doctor. In the time of covid where doctors are heroes, it makes her sound more impressive, but it was confusing people. In general, PhDs aren't referred to their Dr title in normal public life. And they can't insist on regular folks using their title. They are really only referred to their title in an academic setting by their students or colleagues. No one cares that Jill Biden has a PhD in education. Apparently it's one of the easiest phds to achieve that doesn't even require a dissertation. For her to insist on being called by her title is so pretentious and vain.

This is the type of disrespectful prejudice and we have in North Carolina, and all states South and Southwest and Midwest, so with no stranger to this.. but it is so shameful.. this woman is a doctor and deserves all the respect of a doctor, as well as a woman with rights to be called out and respected as such.. doctor in or whatever else is respectable to any other human, the full truth of the matter is, until caucasians and any other race that is every other race fail to come to the reality that God made man in his own image male and female create anything, God made man equal and Superior to man which means every man is created equally in the image of God and in the eyes of God, so why can't we respect each other in the eyes of each other as we were creating.. there is no United States.. it does not exist, how many deaths since George Floyd verdict, at least three or more after a verdict was released two days ago that's been four or more black people kill, there is about to be blood in the streets and it's not just going to be black people who are shed in the blood and this is horribly sad for Americans.. but as far as I can see the United States does not exist any longer.. Florida state is putting up against voting against people of color.. you call that the United States what's United about this... We're living in a terrible time.. when it takes retaliation in the set of blood to gain an earn respect of what God originally called for it to be...

Affirmative action just tossing out the doctorates of BS.

[@josieherrera9017]

What is she a doctor of? Medicine, veterinary, PhD, dental medicine? I'm in the medical field and I've have yet to see a doctor of medicine to feel maligned when addressed as Mr or Mrs. My take on this is that she recognized the man's voice coming from a white man, and that's when she decided to demand that she be called a doctor. And the man on the other end of the line had recognized this.

He was deliberately being disrespectful and should be punished and then he tried to be funny calling her Carrie if she said what she wanted to be called then use what she said Tony needs to be made an example of

[@ashanicole5485]

He was... And voted off 😊

[@mjgaming6163]

He is so rude to say it doesn’t matter! It does matter because she earned her doctoral like he earned his title commissioner. Therefore it is very rude and disrespectful for him to call her by her first name when she politely asked him to address her as Doctor. He needs to apologize for his rudeness !🤦🏾‍♀️

[@geckster109]

Watch the black guy call him "Mr. Collins". Why doesnt everyone cry disrespect over that? Please explain that one to me Gwen.

[@catenelson7848]

It doesn't matter at all to the subject at hand. It was their meeting, not hers, she is really strange in any event.

[@StreetCultureUS]

I have a PhD as well, and my boss at the department of defense has always called me Mr. instead of Dr. I also feel that my boss does this out of spite or because she “Feels some type away about it“, And does not want to recognize my title. A PhD is the only degree that changes a persons title from Mr. or Mrs. to Dr.

[@eugenesant9015]

Black privilege....the true protected Class. Show me anyone who was Ever fired for not calling a white Doctorate......Dr.

[@geckster109]

And the black guy just calls him "Mr. Collins" instead of "Commissioner Collins". You dont see anyone get bent out of shape there, do you? Because just as Tony said.....it doesnt really matter.

[@kusali11]

According to the commissioner the doctor is four years late with what she's presenting. That's what he means by "it doesn't really matter." He should have addressed her as Dr. Then told her what she's saying is pointless.

[@mikezone1211]

Rosario speaks like a privledged woke supremacist. And mr. southern accent should de-chip his shoulder. Sounds like its not just police that need reform, all of our government employees need some continuing education as well.

[@steve6631]

This commissioner's demeanor is unacceptable - citizens should vote him out of office. Dr. Rosario (spelling?) handled herself very well! What is not relevant in the title to this video is Dr. Rosario's race. Maybe there are other comments or other videos that reflect the guy is not only a jerk, but racist as well.

[@iwasthinking]

@radius, your reply is a silly and lame attempt to excuse disgusting behavior. As a real doctor, a medical one at that, when acting in a professional capacity as Dr. Rosario was during this meeting, I would always insist on being addressed as doctor. Clearly you don’t know any real doctors personally. God bless
