It’s called “the narrative” — which is usually just a polite name for a fashionable lie. A black Ivy League academic has learned the price of contradicting cherished narratives, too: threat to life and limb.
In fact, after releasing a credible study finding “no evidence of racial bias” in police shootings, Harvard economics professor Roland Fryer said that not only did he become a pariah in many circles, but he actually needed police protection.
As striking as this is, however, there’s another big story within this story: Fryer’s study possibly did find a racial bias — against whites. Yet this is so accepted today that media don’t even notice.
BizPac Review reports on the story:
Recently, journalist Bari Weiss sat down for a live Q&A with Harvard Economics professor Roland Fryer at the fledgling University of Austin where she is a founding trustee. As they engaged in a discussion before prospective students, the award-winning academic addressed a 2016 controversy that involved his findings that determined no “racial bias in police shooting.”
Explaining that he himself “expected to see it [the bias],” Fryer’s analysis showed that while non-fatal physical force from police officers was twice as likely to be used against blacks and Hispanics, the same could not be said for shootings. His research found officers were 23.8% less likely to shoot at blacks and 8.5% less likely to shoot at Hispanics than white perpetrators.
“When I found this surprising result, I hired 8 fresh [resident advisor[s]] and redid it to make sure they came up with the same exact answer and I thought it was robust,” he explained to Weiss. “And I went to go give it and … all hell broke loose.”

This only goes to show how racist some people in this country are.
Well he probably used MATH ... that's racist
and you probably had to READ the report .... that's racist
and it probably was written in proper ENGLISH ... that's racist
so ... this black guy must be a white supremacist and if you don't agree ... that's racist
I have experienced anti-white bias by cops in an incident where a black man’s pit bull attacked us as we walked trough a park. The cops refused to believe anything we said, even though we were bleeding and our dogs had to be taken to emergency vets. Terrible people.
Nailed it.
Post of the day.
Dang! When was this? And where? That’s horrible.
