Any moment now I expect some high-level Republican to tell us to COOL IT and that we’re already showing of racism by pointing this out in regard to a black woman.

And “they” wonder why we disrespect them, and get angry when we do.

A lot of the true crime stories I watch have to do with black-on-white murders simply because “he disrespected me”. “Disrespect” is a legitimate reason for murder in their world. And this is how they act... SMH

That woman’s hands are so ugly, I’d be inclined to think she’s a tranny.

As far as I am concerned, failure by a researcher to share the underlying data as to published work is prima facie evidence that the data have been falsified.

Unwillingness to provide the underlying data applies to both of "Efficacy of Bear Deterrent Spray in Alaska" and “Efficacy of Firearms for Bear Deterrence in Alaska.”

The two papers are uncritically compared to each other to come up with the bogus "bear spray is more effective than firearms in stopping bear attacks" nonsense.

In my opinion, both papers suffer from the common faults of selection bias and confirmation bias.

Disgraced “Harvard president,” Claudine Gay, built
a towering ghetto-nurtured DEI empire on campus.

Source-—12/21/23 FR thread

In one example, Gay commissioned a “Task Force on Visual Culture and Signage” after the death of George Floyd in 2020. This task force later released a series of recommendations for engaging in what it referred to as the “historical reckoning with racial injustice.”

Among its recommendations reportedly included a mandate to change “spaces whose visual culture is dominated by homogenous portraiture of white men.”

It also said administrators should “refresh” the walls of Annenberg Hall, which “prominently display a series of 23 portraits, none of [which] depict women, and all but three of [which] depict white men.”

The task force never explained who the white men were or why they were on the walls of Annenberg Hall in the first place. The only reasons for the removal of these paintings appeared to be due to their skin color and sex, according to white-biased Gay.

Last year, Gay launched an initiative within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for “de-naming” any “space, program, or other entity” deemed racist by the faculty and administration.

Moreover, deeming such entities “racist” would be “based on the perception that a namesake’s actions or beliefs were ‘abhorrent’ in the context of current values,” meaning that Harvard would use presentism in order to pass judgment on individuals who lived hundreds of years ago.

“Since then, the university has grappled with denaming multiple buildings, including Winthrop House, named after John Winthrop, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and his great grandson, also John Winthrop, a Harvard professor and president,” Rufo pointed out.

In another example, Gay, as president of Harvard, is leading a “sprawling DEI bureaucracy,” otherwise known as Diversity, equity, and inclusion, which “seeks to influence how students speak, think, and behave in relation to race.”

The CRT expert noted that....... Harvard has deleted nearly all DEI materials from its website....... following Gay’s disastrous congressional testimony, in which she declined to say whether advocating for the genocide of Jews is permissible on campus.

Recovered DEI documents through an Internet archive show that Harvard’s diversity administrators urge students to internalize the Critical Race Theory narrative, which is that America is systemically racist, riddled with white-baiting code words like “police brutality,” “white supremacist violence,” and the “weaponization of whiteness.”

Students have also been encouraged to “unpack” their so-called “white” and “male” privileges, and to consider their “white fragility,” which ghetto-nurtured Gay’s DEI documents say is derived from “the privilege that accrues to white people living in a society that protects and insulates them from race-based stress.”

As Breitbart News reported, Gay has been facing nationwide scrutiny since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel due to her failure to properly respond to the matter.

The Harvard leadership botched its statement after more than 30 of its student groups signed a pro-terror later blaming Israel for the terrorist attack against itself.

Gay later delivered a disastrous testimony during a congressional hearing regarding antisemitism alongside the presidents of University of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Now, the Harvard president’s own Ph.D. dissertation is being called into question over allegations of plagiarism.

I have carried a firearm for bear deterrence in Colorado, but never bear spray. My opinion matches yours.

A totally unqualified affirmative action hire recommended by Obama. This makes her perfect for Harvard.

Enjoy it while it last Afro-Americans, because when the Mexicans take over the USA, there is going to be a complete end to catering to dark skin people. For an example, look at how Dominicans treat Haitians. /spit

Gay even plagiarized her acknowledgments.

snip

Wash/Post Associate Editor, Ruth Marcus, points out in a 12/23/23 op-ed.....”In her 1997 doctoral dissertation, for example, Gay quoted from a paper by Bradley Palmquist and D. Stephen Voss, then her colleagues in the Harvard political science department, about turnout rates among Black voters. “This is one sign that the data contain little aggregation bias,” they wrote. “If racial turnout rates changed depending upon a precinct’s racial mix, which is one description of bias, a linear form would be unlikely in a simple scatter plot (resulting only when changes in one race’s turnout rate somehow compensated for changes in the other’s across the graph.)”

Gay’s dissertation — which nowhere cites Palmquist and Voss — contains nearly identical language. “This is one sign that the data contain little aggregation bias,” she wrote. “If racial turnout rates changed depending upon a precinct’s racial mix, which is one way to think about bias, a linear form would be unlikely in a simple scatter plot. A linear form would only result if the changes in one race’s turnout were compensated by changes in the turnout of the other race across the graph.”

That’s not sloppiness. That’s plagiarism.

snip

MARCUS-—I take no joy in saying this, but Harvard President Claudine Gay ought to resign. Her track record is unbefitting the president of the country’s premier university. Remaining on the job would send a bad signal to students about the gravity of her conduct.

snip


WashPost Associate Editor Ruth Marcus’ 12/23/23 op-ed “Gay Should Resign,” initially comes out swinging-—alluding to Harvard’s unwillingness to bow to conservatives’ critiques of Gay as being tinged w/ racism.....then is forced to concede and to agree....... Gay should bow out.

EXCERPT——Harvard said it launched an inquiry into Gay’s conduct after being contacted by the New York Post in October about plagiarism allegations. It said an independent panel of three respected political scientists with no ties to Harvard had examined Gay’s published works and found instances of “inadequate citations” that, “while regrettable, did not constitute research misconduct” because there was no evidence of intentional deception or recklessness.

It said Gay had submitted four corrections to two articles and, after questions were raised about her dissertation, promised to update that document as well to fix “duplicative language without appropriate attribution.” Most of the scholars involved told the Harvard Crimson that they were untroubled by the conduct.

Really? Here’s what Harvard tells its students. “Taking credit for anyone else’s work is stealing, and it is unacceptable in all academic situations, whether you do it intentionally or by accident.”

And: “It’s not enough to have good intentions and to cite some of the material you use.”

And this: “When you write papers in college, your work is held to the same standards of citation as the work of your professors.”

Which raises the question: Is the university president’s work being held to the same standards?

It sure doesn’t look that way.

This a quick peek under the tent to see what the real value of the Ivy League is, made up data, stolen work and identity politics.

And where are the college and law school records of Barak Hussein Obama? If he is as brilliant as his sycophants claim, wouldn’t he have wall-papered the internet with them?

Claudine Gay has been asked for, but has refused to provide, the data

Data, what data? 2002? That was so long ago, what difference does it make now?

Can't we just move on?
