Academic Journal Looking For Evidence Of ‘Structural Racism,’ Won’t Commit To Accepting Contrary Evidence

An editor of a peer-reviewed journal that deals with violence is asking students and faculty for research papers that prove the existence of “structural racism” in policing but refused to respond when asked if they’ll accept evidence that contradicts that view, according to The College Fix.

The story: Prof. Carlos Cuevas, co-director of the Violence and Justice Research Laboratory at Northwestern University, is asking students and staff to provide papers that are “designed to advance the scientific knowledge about the excessive use of force by some law enforcement officers as applied to members of communities of color.”

Which means that that the journal is propaganda, not research.

Not very academic....................

DEFINE: excessive use of force........................

No, he used the word “scientific” so you cannot argue with science.

Liberals like to do what I call the reverse scientific method:

1. Write your conclusions.
   
2. Cherry-pick evidence to support it.
   
3. Discard any evidence which does not as if it never existed.
   
4. Where #2 cannot be found, then manufacture it or look for anecdotes. Sort of like the "opinion witnesses" at the Trump impeachment circus.

Here is my Personal Story of being a VICTIM of Racism...

I was born in Zambia. My parent started a hospital and worked as missionaries.

I had a Nanny when they were with patients.

She came running, with me on her hip. I was Six Months Old. She had been to the River with the village women to do laundry, etc. They asked her to throw me on the ground, so they could trample me to death. Because I was white !

I never see anyone talking about Racism Against Whites, but it is Real, taboo, but Real !!!

Had enough of the violence of the left

look at all the universities with racial quotas, especially those that discriminate against Asians if you want to find systemic racism.

[dartuser]

I for one am submitting the paper titled, "Passenger Vehicle Radial Tires; A Classic Case for Systemic Racism."

I bet I can get this published by these buffoons.

You forgot #5:

5) Demonize anyone who dares to question the conclusion.

“Given the disproportionality of legally sanctioned police violence against members of Black and Brown communities, this special issue is designed to advance the scientific knowledge about the excessive use of force by some law enforcement officers as applied to members of communities of color with the goal of advancing prevention, intervention, and policy recommendations,” the release states....

His first sentence already shows the study is biased...then is going to use anecdotal info to seed his paper ? and have the whole school doing his homework ?
Someone show him the Fed stats, put out every year, showing that this just isn't so...

[DannyTN]

We need to put together a counter narative that shows improvement for minorities.

% of High school/college graduations over time.
Avg Income of minorities over time.
Participation in top 50% / Top 10% incomes.
% unemployed over time.
% on welfare
% broken families (Probably doesn’t show improvment but let’s talk about it)
Drug use
Church attendance

I know looking back 60 years you will see steady growth in the % of blacks graduating college. But white participation has grown faster.

So while I expect to see improvement for blacks and other minorities in most categories, I do expect to see a gap.
Just like the economy though, I’m more interested in lifting all boats in each category than closing gaps.

This country is failing miserably in practice of white supremacy and racism. If they were doing their job, dark brown skinned immigrant from India would not be sitting at the top of financial net worth compared to all other ethnic groups, and yes that includes born in USA (superior) whites.

Conclusion is obvious: Racism and white supremacy is failing miserably.

its no longer an academic journal then

its just a biased racist propaganda mouthpiece

I once had a boss who operated like that. I thought he was done for many times, but he because the company CEO. Go figure.

[Vigilanteman]

Sounds like a place I used to work, though the actual CEO of the U.S. operation was someone from the Japan office who rotated in and out every three years and never caught on to the game.

The head of the local office was a nasty little prick who would get anyone he deemed the least bit threatening to his position to quit or invent an excuse to terminate them.

My only regret about leaving was not slugging the s.o.b.
