While a white supremacist could attempt to sue a blog over a Black Doctor Directory presented under an article covering White Supremacy in the Medical Industry, they would be highly unlikely to win. Under U.S. law, they would struggle to establish legal standing (injury), and their claims would almost certainly be dismissed as protected free speech or rejected due to a lack of actionable discrimination. A Blog is different than FindABlackDoctor.com, so these God Damned Demons wouldn't be able to target it because they want our business. Switch up.
Kurt Miceli of Do No Harm, lives in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania. That's a predominantly WHITE, affluent suburb. He wouldn't know a thing about standing in our shoes dealing with his skinfolk, but he sure as hell knows what it's like to stand in his. His comrade Dr. Travis Morrell, is the one who led the charge on this and he's also in a predominantly WHITE city. Grand Junction, Colorado has less than 1% of Black people there and they're worried about us? They get the majority of the funding, the majority of the jobs, and they're worried about us?
All these demons do out here is target efforts aimed at opening lanes for Black people, even programs for to combat strokes and diabetes. Ain't that some shit? It's high time more of us start getting to work on these prayers against our enemies and start working better angles for our betterment.
For the record, they still can't stop us from going to Black Doctors and avoiding suspected White Supremacists. They won't get my money so they can put more into some shit like "Do No Harm".
- The Claim: The plaintiff would likely argue that compiling a directory of Black doctors defames white doctors by implying they are racist or incompetent.
- The Reality: The blog's article simply recounts verifiable historical facts regarding medical racism (such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study). A statement of opinion or an interpretation of historical facts cannot form the basis of a successful defamation suit. Furthermore, defamation law generally requires the plaintiff to be individually identified, whereas a broad article does not target a specific white doctor. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- The Claim: The plaintiff might argue that the blog directory violates federal civil rights laws (like the Civil Rights Act of 1866) or medical non-discrimination statutes by promoting Black doctors over white doctors.
- The Reality: Discrimination laws for public-facing websites usually apply to the operators or members of the service. For example, when advocacy groups sued the operators of "Find A Black Doctor" (a real-world online directory), it was done by non-Black physicians who were denied the ability to be listed on the site. A reader looking for a doctor does not have standing to sue a website simply because the website's curated resource excludes them. [1, 2]
- The Claim: The plaintiff might attempt to sue the blog for "hate speech."
- The Reality: Under the First Amendment, writing and publishing articles about racial disparities, as well as curating resource directories based on demographic data to aid minority populations, is protected speech. The U.S. legal system does not recognize a cause of action against a media outlet or blog for offering information and historical context to its readers. [1]
- Do not use an application process: Do not let users "apply to be listed" or fill out a portal where non-Black applicants can be formally rejected.
- Keep it editorial: Frame the list as a curated resources guide, informational blog post, or journalistic piece rather than a formal, interactive search engine database.
- Pull from public data: Compile the list based on publicly available information or voluntary public interviews. [1, 2]
