INTRODUCTION
The year is 1959, the great trumpeter Miles Davis, stepped outside of the Bird Land Theater in New York City, where he was top billing, to smoke a cigarette. Then a rookie cop walking the beat approached him and said,
“You can’t stand there, move along.” Miles stated, “I’ve done nothing wrong. I’m not going anywhere..my name is on the Marquee…”
A tussle ensued. Miles was struck over the head with a billy club by a drunk New York City detective and arrested.

The great writer and Chairperson of Institute for Research in African-American Studies (IRAAS), Columbia, University, Dr. Farah Griffin, so eloquently put it, “No matter how much you have accomplished or what you have achieved, the system of racism in America will remind you what you are.”

The great trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie was asked in 1984 to access the incident of Miles Davis, he stated “no matter how big you get racism will appear like a dragon with steam rolling out its nose.
THE ECONOMICS OF MEDICAL REDLINING
One cannot ignore race or the factors of race in the decision-making process or ignore the economic injuries when Black doctors (physicians and dentists) are reimbursed by third-party insurance payors differently based solely on zip code.

This is precisely why an increasing number of medical/dental/pharmacy providers are electing to do business solely in cash, credit cards, or debits to ensure their healthcare practice economic stability.

BEING BLACK BY ZIP CODE
Physicians, dentists, pharmacists who are black owners and display their shingles in certain zip codes are further humiliated and challenged by third-party payors to justify their diagnoses and treatment plans.

These practitioners are likely to be reimbursed slower and at lower payment rates based solely on zip code which further undermines the practice of medicine/dentistry/pharmacy service in their communities. They are more likely to be audited, sanctioned by third-party payors, and reviewed by State and Federal licensing authorities.
WHEN THOSE WHO ARE BLACK AND CARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE BLACK ARE TARGETED, WHO DO YOU EXPECT TO LOSE ??

HOW RACISM (RAGE) DESTROYS PEOPLE OF COLOR WITH AMBITION
Translating into a broader sense for the everyday community, for every $10 a white person makes, black folk gets $1 and this includes your black professionals of any medical/dental/ pharmacy field who dare to complain too loudly risk being sanctioned. This type of institutional disparity ensures that generational wealth will never be passed along within any black community.
