This is the Chinese Communists’ Cultural Revolution or The Great Leap Forward [your choice] being replayed in different places. Enjoy the spectacle of the Police and National Guard[Military] on their knees in full public view in broad daylight on the street giving blow jobs to BLM members. To me, it was sickening. and it will get sicker. Not only did that do it, which to me was bad enough, but they did it with the full approval of their superiors.George Washington is spinning like a gyroscope in his grave. Nathan Hale[My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my Country] is physically ill. The American general public of today either don’t give a damn. Or approves.

EXACTLY HOW DO THOSE BRILLIANT SCIENTISTS PLAN ON CHANGING AN ENTIRE CULTURE.

Because until THAT changes and individuals accept responsibility for their own lives...BRILLIANT SCIENTISTS WILL JUST BE SPINNING THEIR WHEELS.

Have a friend who crashed into the same wall - simply being a white male PhD foreclosed his ability to get into academia in his field 30+ years ago. Colleges/universities just weren’t hiring his “type”.

No one will notice they are on “strike”, if that’s even true.

It isn’t just hard sciences.

I was not hired for an Assistant Professor position in a Philosophy department because I had the wrong gender, skin color and cultural background. So, instead of getting someone who would have taught Introduction Philosophy classes the right way they got a woman who made students read theatrical works like “The Vigina Dialogs” in a philosophy class.

Any “science” that includes protests ain’t science.

STEM fields include academic work at universities and technical work in corporations such as IT work. Both of these are now dominated by democrats and socialists. So this is just one more thing the democrats are systemically racist at.

” 5,000 scientists....”

Like the Climate Change scientist .... when you dig into it you determine that most of them are not scientists of any kind. I suspect that if you investigate the “scientists” will have degrees that end in “studies”.

Correct—the anti-white and anti-Asian racism in all major institutions is totally out of control.

If whites and Asians weren’t so civilized, they would be out there rioting and looting and demanding justice.

I remember hearing some black folks saying that ‘science needs to be done all over again because it obviously has a white bias’.

To make such a statement you’d have to be so incredibly devoid of understanding *anything* about science.

They’re out there...
