It’s interesting that there are all these mentions of doctors and/or medical practitioners in here, when there was an overwhelming voice on this board not to trust them during the pandemic.

We’re talking about sane and rational black people not the kooky (I love that word) conspiracy theorist in everyone’s family.

*Besides sports and entertainment?


I don't think sports and entertainment are respected professions. Maybe by kids, but not by adults. And people steer their children away from those pursuits into more stable jobs/professions.

People admire wealth, and are fans of the fraction of athletes and entertainers who become rich.
But the vast majority of people who pursue those routes don't become rich, and go into other jobs and professions.

Black people really do admire doctors. If anyone has a doctor in their family they know this but it’s probably the same with every race

I really don’t think there’s something that black people respect is some type of unique way that no one else does

Clergymen/religious leaders have position and status among Black people (globally) that I'm not sure existsvamong other groups of people.
