The political narrative of the US left, on the subject of race, are one of the ‘sacred cows’ of the western world. Hardly anybody dares to counter its assumptions, which might be handled like everlasting truths.
In comes a black Harvard professor main a examine on race and police brutality. He absolutely expects the outcomes to match the ‘approved’ celebration line, displaying that Houston police shootings have a transparent and unmistakable racial bias.
When the outcomes present nothing of the type, the professor has to determine whether or not he’s a scholar or a militant.
Harvard Economics Professor Roland Fryer took the exhausting street, printed his examine, and ‘all hell broke loose’. He needed to resort to armed safety after an avalanche of threats.
In an interview with Bari Weiss, he talked in regards to the horrible expertise that occurred again in 2016.
Fox News reported:
“The examine discovered that police had been greater than twice as more likely to manhandle, beat or use another sort of nonfatal power in opposition to blacks and Hispanics than in opposition to folks of different races. Nevertheless, the info additionally decided that officers had been 23.8 % much less more likely to shoot at blacks and eight.5 % much less more likely to shoot at Hispanics than they had been to shoot at whites.
When Fryer claimed the info confirmed ‘no racial differences in officer-involved shootings’, he mentioned, ‘all hell broke loose’, and his life was upended.”
It took solely FOUR MINUTES after his examine was printed for the primary hate message to reach: ‘You’re filled with shit’, the sender mentioned. A flood of complaints and threats adopted.
“Fryer said people quickly “lost their minds” and a few of his colleagues refused to imagine the outcomes after months of asking him to not print the info. ‘I had colleagues take me to the side and say, ’Don’t publish this. You’ll wreck your profession’’, Fryer revealed.”
Fryer mentioned that when the outcomes discovered no racial bias, he employed eight new assistants and redid the all of the examine work.
The outcomes got here again the identical.
“After the report was published, Fryer lived under police protection for over a month. He had a seven-day-old daughter at the time and went shopping for diapers. ‘I was going to the grocery store to get diapers with the armed guard. It was crazy. It was really, truly crazy’, he said.”
A examine of this sort in Harvard – of all locations – was certain to generate controversy with the ultra-left. Now disgraced Harvard dean Claudine Homosexual focused Fryer for his examine, utilizing leverage from his alleged conduct in opposition to him.
Fryer, the youngest tenured Black professor at Harvard at age 30, was suspended for 2 years from the college in 2019.
He allegedly engaged in ‘unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature’ – allegations he continues to disclaim.
“At the time, then-Harvard dean Claudine Gay claimed Fryer’s research and conduct with other employees ‘exhibited a pattern of behavior’ that failed to meet expectations within the community. ‘The totality of these behaviors is a clear violation of institutional norms and a betrayal of the trust’, she said.”
