A renowned criminology professor who "proved" that racism is systemic in America’s law enforcement and American society has been fired for faking data and his studies have now been retracted.

Eric Stewart, 51, a now former criminology professor at Florida State University in Tallahassee, is now out of work due to “extreme negligence” in his research. According to Google Scholar, Stewart and his work were cited over 8,500 times by other researchers.

Now, the WEB DuBois fellow at the National Institute of Justice is out of a job on account of “extreme negligence and incompetence.”

"Cited over 8,500 times by other researchers."

Just think how often this research has been relied upon to support certain narratives.

Did any Citizens suffer an injury or loss as a result of these falsehoods being heard in a court of law?? If so, Wouldn’t there be criminal and civil liability attached?

The real racists are always the ones screaming “racism!” wherever they go.

No doubt, he feels systemic racism in his firing and the retractions of his life’s work.

This is actually a huge story.

This study likely has been the basis for almost every leftist narrative from BLM to Democrats burning and looting cities across the country. Almost every Hollywood script, almost ever TV commercial, knowingly or not, pays homage to this the false narrative derived from this deliberately false study.

But this is exactly how leftists operate, they feel certain something must be true so they go out and lie and slander and fabricate data to ostensibly support what they “feel” must be true.

I predict this will significant story will get very, very news coverage.

Americans never learned anything from slavery. Africans were brought in to do our work for us and now Hispanics and various other foreign, “people of color” are being brought in illegally to clean our toilets, make our salsa and mow our lawns. We’ll be paying them “reparations” down the road too. Wake up Twinkies!

Wait a sec, what about all of his peers who reviewed and approved his "research" ?

They should all be fired as well.

he lied.

look, a simple function of “living the life” in America will show we do not have “systemic racism”.

observation.

people flee to America to live. This would not be the case if systemic racism existed. Did Germany have tons of immigrants during the 30s and 40s? Nope. Because everyone who was not of the “approved” race was targeted.

People of different races work, live, eat, worship, invest, play, side-by-side every day. All the time. Yes, it happens in leftist cities and it happens in the “purple” burbs and in the Republican rural lands. Almost always people get along. There are criminals and sleazebags of every color and creed. But the overall functioning of society is smooth—people want to do their jobs, get from place to place, and enjoy their time together.

Oh, but there are enclaves of white neighborhoods and black neighborhoods. Yep. And there are rich neighborhoods and poor ones. People generally tend to surround themselves with others who look, think, act like them...it doesn’t portend “racism” or “ageism” or “classism”...it merely reflects how all people behave.

Young kids GENERALLY all mix together because they’re all...young. They know of no real differences between them because there are none that matter to them. Doesn’t make them better—it reflects their age.

Boys, though, generally hang out with boys and vice-versa.

I am sick of the race baiting.

IT’s what they all do. Politicians and MSM lie out of their keesters. They think, “Why can’t we?”

It’s what leftists do, it’s how they roll.

There’s a DA in New York prosecuting Trump for submitting false data to obtain loans.

Eric Stewart was fired for submitting false data to obtain millions in grants. Obviously, he did so by design and with intent.

Other than Stewart is black and thus has a get out of jail free card (in white collar crime), what’s the difference between what he did and what Trump is being accused of doing?

He’s obtained untold millions for this fake study.

Extreme negligence in research that goes for the MSM too only thing systemic is Marxism provided by the democrats and the willing helpers of the media.

Bogus racism has been a tool by the left for years unity isn’t their goal it’s division it’s the fuel they need to completer their agenda.

Isn’t it RACIST to fake data to make it look like one race is worse than they really are?

Won’t matter. The Left will continue to cite the study as it fits the narrative.

Peer reviewed…

Clown U is appropriate for Clown World.

I have never taken a Criminology course, but here’s my guess.
Black males commit a disproportionate amount of violent crimes because of low IQ, low impulse control, and a trash culture.

QED.

Trump nay have had a different valuation from another or an earlier source. He had nothing to gain by inflating an evaluation. His accountants submitted it in any case.

It is supremely foolish of the powers that be, the MSM, th left to suggest that it is not the lending associations responsibility and practice to get their own independent assessment.
I guess the MM was able to convince you that this is a real issue, not another red herring so their efforts are not totally wasted.
