The media constantly referring to Joe Biden’s wife as “Dr. Jill Biden” is a heinous crime. Whoopi Goldberg said this week on The View that she’s “an amazing doctor” and should be appointed Surgeon General.
Despite Dr. Jill Biden (Doctorate of Education) not being a medical doctor, nor having any medical background whatsoever, Whoopi Goldberg suggests she should become Surgeon General of the United States.
The ignorance of the media is astonishing. pic.twitter.com/hwX7ZkrRg4

Yes, Whoopi is black and a woman, so I’m sure she’s not a genius. But she’s also a famous millionaire, so she’s smarter than most women and blacks. This is not an uncommon belief among the American population – that Joe Biden’s wife Jill is a medical doctor.
And the media has absolutely done this on purpose. They have purposefully used her PhD in education to present her as a medical doctor. No one with a PhD in education insists on being called “doctor” as a title in a general setting.
The principal of your high school probably had a doctorate in education. Most high school principles do – at least if we’re talking about suburban white high schools. But you didn’t call him “Dr.” – you called him “Mr.”
People who are not medical doctors demanding to be called “doctor” has been a long-running joke.
My title is Dr Fern Riddell, not Ms or Miss Riddell. I have it because I am an expert, and my life and career consist of being that expert in as many different ways as possible. I worked hard to earned my authority, and I will not give it up to anyone.

Basically, everyone in society agrees that this is a joke, and does not believe these people deserve to be introduced as “Dr.”
Sometimes it is done, for example if someone has a PhD in literature and they are giving a speech on a university campus to a school of literature. But otherwise, it is just absurd. The reason it is absurd is because it is abnormal. In normal society, we do not call people who are not MDs “doctor.”
Did you know there is such a thing as a “Doctor of Nursing”? So this is technically a “medical doctor.” And they are not called “Dr.” at the hospital. Lawyers generally also have a doctorate. You don’t call them “Dr.,” unless you’re specifically introducing them in an academic setting.
This social normalcy went out the window with the appearance of “Dr. Jill Biden.” It’s a little bit like the situation of changing the definition of “recession” the week before the numbers come out showing we are officially in a recession.
Honestly, I don’t blame Whoopi for thinking Dr. Jill Biden is an accomplished surgeon. It’s what anyone who is not really into the news would think based on how the media has presented it.
The conservative media has made a point of mocking this phenomenon of the media talking about “Dr. Jill,” but I think if you did a poll, most Democrats would believe that Jill Biden is some type of medical doctor, 0r at least a dentist.
Most Democrats are probably also not aware that Dr. Jill is not the mother of Joe’s older children – their mother Neilia apparently purposefully crashed a car and died. She literally crashed head-on into a semi-truck. The trucker was ruled not at fault. It looks to have been an attempted family extermination, as all her children were in the car. They were on their way to pick up a family Christmas tree. Why was Joe not with them? Did your father go with you to pick out the Christmas tree? If you’re not black, the answer is probably “yes.”
When Jill met Joe, she was cheating on her husband with him.
Black People and the Bidens
Speaking of Whoopi Goldberg shilling for Jill Biden – why do black people love Joe Biden so much?
No one thought he would win the Democrat primaries. He wasn’t winning in Iowa or New Hampshire. I remember people were saying “just wait until we get to the black states, Joe is going to start dominating.” I hadn’t really realized it myself, frankly, but yes: for whatever reason, black people love Joe Biden.
This appears to be a genuine thing. Well, at least insofar as anything in politics is genuine. I’m sure someone shilled Joe to the blacks in some specific way that I’m not aware of. Or maybe it was just constantly seeing him with Obama. I don’t know.
The point is: insofar as polls are real, when you hear about Joe Biden having some insane 30% approval rating that makes no sense, consider that blacks are somehow devoted to this man. Then you’ve got unmarried white women who love masks, vaccines, war, death, and human suffering generally.
UPDATE:
I looked it up, and 10% of total school principals in America have doctorates.
They’re more likely to work at a high school, and more likely to be in a suburban setting, so I think “most high school principals in white neighborhoods” is probably close to being true. Maybe it would be “many.”
