[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who think that black doctors don't face discrimination, check this article out.

with the key quote:

"Among black physicians, black male doctors make an average of $50,000 less per year than white male doctors. And black female doctors make almost $100,000 less than black male doctors. "[/quote]

Wow.  :shock:

Now, do doctor's income by medical schools.  See if there is a correlation,  I suspect that white male doctors who graduate from Harvard make more than those who graduate from a state medical school.  And, a doctor who graduates from a more prestigious state medical school will make more than one from a less so one.  
I'm guessing that Secretary Ben Carson made far more than average at Johns Hopkins.  He was a  pediatric neurosurgeon.

As for black female doctors, could it be the same reason that women make less than men across the board?  Because they take more time off for their families?  Wonder if this is changing for younger women?[/quote]
