   This is why when possible, a lot of Black people choose Black doctors.

   This world is already hostile to us. When fighting for your health, one shouldn't have to deal with the added burden of bias leading to substandard care leading to death.https://t.co/x73fzcg1Wy

   Y'all are always quick to demand free labor from Black people. You want a Black man to take responsibility for a white man's racism? The audacity.

   This is on white people to fix their mess. Leave Black people the hell alone.https://t.co/59lWAPmwNj

    FOLLOW HIS ACTIONS ON POLICY. We’ll likely see and know his RACIST HEART.

    .@RepTedLieu: Picture in his yearbook is completely indefensible. It is incredibly racist. Former FL Sec. of State Ertel resigned for a picture of him in blackface. This is even worse. It's blackface next to a KKK figure. There's no way Gov. Northam should remain in office #AMJoy pic.twitter.com/O2pl8SEgVK

    The governor has also been calling his former med school classmates to jog their memories. He does NOT think he is the man in Klan hood or blackface and doesn’t want to resign before trying to determine who is in that photo.
