Black Prof. Forced to Get Armed Security After Showing Cops Don't Kill Blacks Disproportionately

This story actually reminds me of another story done about how the government during the Obama administration had requested that a study be done on a stretch of highway road in New Jersey to determine why police were stopping more blacks on that stretch of highway. The study however found that blacks were more likely to speed along that stretch of highway than whites. Not what the government was wanting to hear so they tried to keep the study secret. Even after the study had been redone to account for their "concerns". It didn't fit a narrative so they tried to keep it secret.

It appears that the same thing happened to this professor. In the end even resulting in a "sexual harassment" claim against him and him ending up resigning a couple of years later after the sexual harassment allegation. Of course prior to the study he'd received several awards, and none since. He had also been one of Harvard's most highest paid professors. And in 2019 they closed the labs that made the study possible.

This is one of the reasons (among many) that I simply don't trust studies that talks about "systemic racism". Any study that is done that shows the opposite of "The Narrative" ends up being hidden as much as possible and scoffed at and the person that made it ruined.

Note: I'm going to provide both Fryer's study, and the "counter" study that Harvard eventually put out. Quite frankly I don't trust Harvard. And I'm sure that many leftist identitarians won't even bother to read Fryer's study but may just ignore it and only parrot the "counter" study.

Why we have to do our own investigation and flesh out the real story as best we can.

 

Democrats love to play victim.

 

Why is this a story now, when the paper in question was published in 2016?

In fact, when you look at his record, he happily published after this:

https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=ZWjtqZgAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate

Reading the article linked in the OP, you'd think he was canceled, but, no, he has an h-index of 58 (mine is 40), so, it seems people still cite, read and publish this work.

At the end, this is nothing more than conservative victimhood drummed up by the likes of campusreform.

 

The h-index has nothing to do with it? The news reports I read say that Harvard did the academic equivalent of benching him after he published his findings.

 

He was benched for inappropriate behavior, not as punishment for this article. And, yes, the h-index is relevant, because if the field was punishing him, the would have stopped citing him. In contrast, his career kept going.

 

Yea, "inappropriate behavior"

Not conforming to the far left politics that Harvard demands. If you find data that contradicts the progressive narrative, you suppress it. Harvard has become the most overrated university in this nation because of DEI. It's former president was a joke because her plagiarism. She didn’t need academic rigor. All she needed to be was Black, female and gay.

 

To be specific, a title ix issue:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_G._Fryer_Jr.

"Fryer alleged that he was "unfairly scrutinized ... for his skin color."[29] Harvard confirmed that its Office for Dispute Resolution (ODR) received complaints against Fryer in January, March, and April 2018.[30] A total of 38 complaints were received from a[clarification needed] former assistant who worked in EdLabs. The investigation found that he had "engaged in “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature” against at least five employees over the course of a decade," according to the New York Times.[31] The report stated that he made references to various colleagues engaging in sex acts.[31]"

I am sure that this was all a conspiracy by the top Harvard Admin to get rid of Fryer because they didn't like his politics, or so it goes in RW conspiracy theory world.

 

No, the story of Roland Fryer is one of a simple truth shown by statistical analysis, and how that truth has been suppressed by the powers that be.

 

This DEI cult systematically violates the rights of others, while they draw very lucrative paychecks.
