Negrophobia: The Fear Of Black People.

A pregnant woman reportedly requested every person attending the delivery of her birth be white... As in Caucasian - not the color of the doc’s coat...According to the Independent, the hospital refused although they’re under investigation for how the situation was handled...I am not a race hater nor do I believe that every thing that happens to us as a people of color is racists...But when something like this happens you have to ask that question...But the repeated comment in media reports is it’s “unknown why” the woman made the request she made... Is it possible it could have been made for another reason other than racism?Like maybe:
Ne·gro·pho·bi·a
  1. Fear of or contempt for Black people and their culture.

  2. Behavior based on such an attitude or feeling.

Like I stated I am not the one to cry racism at every turn, but in this case the label might apply... Of course I have never been around the world...And neither have I heard of a religion that would call for one particular skin color at the delivery of a child...So that excuse is out...Is there a medical answer to her request?Maybe!....If so the only thing I can think of...May-be she has some kinda phobia...If that be the case we have to consider her action as an illness ...So, if she has Negrophobia would that may her a racists or a person with an illness?... Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that we heard about a judge who won't marry a couple because he feared they’d create biracial children?...What's going on? What do you think?
