They need to do a remake of “Breaking Bad” with a black chemistry teacher.
Lol.
From the Link:
“Afrochemistry appears to be the pet project of Brooke Johnson, the ‘preceptor’ (whatever that is) in the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) department at Rice.”
Ahhhh! The modern ‘chemistry’ of waffles and chicken?
Just set those jokers free in a real chemistry lab...but make sure you’re a few thousand feet away. Nature will take care of itself.
I wonder if they teach you to stir mud with a stick.
I suspect the difference between black chemistry and white chemistry is the grading system applied. Very easy to get high grades in black chemistry particularly if one is black.
Yup. No shortage of people in ANY discipline that want to virtue signal. You would think that the military would be the last holdout, but no.
I’ve heard of “Afro Engineering,” but never “Afrochemistry.” Sounds like a follow-up on the effort to mainstream “Ebonics.”
“We are at risk of undermining the very foundations of academia,” Alka says
I doubt that, somewhere there are still classes that teach real science. In the long run people in those classes that learn actual science will continue to make discoveries and put forth sound science. Those that take DEI courses will write up junk science and get nowhere scientifically.
This is a waste of time, money and leads nowhere. If Black kids want to learn chemistry then they should enroll in an introductory chemistry course.
Utter idiocy.
In 1974 University of Missouri Kansas City enrolled me in a class called Algebra for Women. I unenrolled myself the first day and got into a regular Algebra class. I wanted nothing to do with a class for the helpless.
science was lost when the ability to determine that a Y chromosome and a X chromosome can create more than two genders. wondering now if maybe it’s the fault of the new mathamatics?
Reminds me of the nazification of arts, sciences, math, literature in the 1930s.
Hitler claimed to be a Christian but later went whole Pagan. What he came up with sounds so “Modern” today. Just the symbols of religion might be different, like a half man-half goat, with wings.
What the Hitler government envisioned for Germany was clearly set out in a
thirty-point program for the ”National Reich Church” drawn up during the war
by Rosenberg, an outspoken pagan, who among his other offices held that of
”the Fuehrer’s Delegate for the Entire Intellectual and Philosophical Education
and Instruction for the National Socialist Party.” A few of its thirty articles
convey the essentials:
1. The National Reich Church of Germany categorically claims the
exclusive right and the exclusive power to control all churches
within the borders of the Reich: it declares these to be national
churches of the German Reich.
5. The National Church is determined to exterminate irrevoca-
bly . . . the strange and foreign Christian faiths imported into
Germany in the ill-omened year 800.
7. The National Church has no scribes, pastors, chaplains or
priests, but National Reich orators are to speak in them.
13. The National church demands immediate cessation of the pub-
lishing and dissemination of the Bible in Germany . . .
14. The National Church declares that to it, and therefore to the
German nation, it has been decided that the Fuehrer’s Mein
Kampf is the greatest of all documents. It . . . not only contains
the greatest but it embodies the purest and truest ethics for the
present and future life of our nation.
18. The National Church will clear away from its altars all cruci-
fixes, Bibles and pictures of saints.
19. On the altars there must be nothing but Mein Kampf (to the
German nation and therefore to God the most sacred book)
and to the left of the altar a sword.
30. On the day of its foundation, the Christian Cross must be re-
moved from all churches, cathedrals and chapels . . . and it
must be superseded by the only unconquerable symbol, the
swastika.20
Afro-chemistry ???? Is that related to Afro-engineering??
LOL, I’ve heard that “term” for over 30 years. Chemistry just now catching on????

The professional science organizations (ACS, APS, AAAS, Sigma Xi) went woketard years ago.
We have lost another great university. Rice U is now on my DO NOT HIRE list.
Rice once turned out good engineers.
