Can't disagree with you.

Yesterday in my doctor's office, I saw another patient wearing a very similar outfit, except hers was a crop top that exposed her belly. Nobody commented, stared, or seemed to care.

I don't think that's in response to her race, more in response to the erroneous information someone posted that she was more or less a life coach and therefore not a real doctor. It's not always about race.

Googling her name, it appears she does "trauma counseling" sometimes with canines, sounds pretty much like a life coach, in a business she owns.

She no longer submits payments to insurance, (read, insurance doesn't pay for her services) but will provide itemized bills so that her patients can advocate for themselves with their providers.

Calling the doctor "Dr. Funk" had nothing to do with being a life coach/or not. Neither was referring to "ghetto". That was ALL about being black.

If I recall that selfie was eye burning bad and did nothing to support her case.

Yeah... The two aren't very comparable. This woman is wearing casual summer wear. That lady, God knows what the hell she was wearing... Not that it really mattered either way, as she was properly covered regardless.

In her own selfie, shot after the fact.

Right. This whole thing is ridiculous anyway. IMO, if they got kicked out for their attire, there was obvious reason enough to single them out among a crowd.
