The political narrative of the American left, when it comes to race, is one of the most “sacred cows” in the Western world. Hardly anyone dares to oppose his assumptions, which are treated as eternal truths.
A black Harvard professor leads a study on race and police brutality. He fully expects the results to match the “approved” party line, showing that the Houston police shootings have clear and unambiguous racial bias.
when The results show no such thingThe professor must decide whether he is a scholar or a fighter.
Professor of economics at Harvard University Roland Fryer took the hard way, published his study, and “all hell broke loose.”. He was forced to resort to armed security after a torrent of threats.
In an interview with Barry Weiss, he talked about the terrible experience that happened in 2016.
Fox News reported:
“The study found that police officers were more than twice as likely to rough up, beat, or use any other type of non-deadly force against blacks and Latinos than people of other races. However, the data also determined that officers were less likely to shoot blacks by 23.8% and 8.5% less likely to shoot Hispanics than whites.
When fry He claimed the data showed “no racial differences in officer-involved shootings,” and said, “All hell broke loose,” and his life “was turned upside down.”
It only took four minutes after his study was published for the first hate message to arrive: “You are full of bullshit,” the sender said. A torrent of complaints and threats followed.
Fryer said people were “quickly losing their minds” and some of his colleagues refused to believe the results months after he asked him not to print the data. My colleagues pulled me aside and said: Don't post this. “It will ruin your career,” Fryer revealed.
When the results found no racial bias, Fryer said, he hired eight new assistants and redid all the study work.
The results came back the same.
“After the report was published, Fryer lived under police protection for more than 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 crazy,” he said.
It was inevitable that a study of this kind at Harvard – of all places – would spark controversy with the far left. Claudine Guy, the now-disgraced dean of Harvard, targeted Fryer over his studies, using the leverage of his alleged behavior against him.
Fryer, Harvard's youngest black professor at 30, was suspended from the university for two years in 2019.
He allegedly engaged in “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature”, allegations he continues to deny.
“At the time, Claudine Guy, then Harvard’s dean, claimed that Fryer’s research and his conduct with other employees “demonstrated 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 trust,” she said.
