This is called institutional racism.

The University of California, San Francisco’s web page states that the research grants are being made under the school’s Resource Allocation Program and are focused on “projects addressing anti-racism involving any race/ethnicity.” says it will award over $100,000 for anti-racist biomedical research projects. https://www.campusreform.org/article/uc-san-francisco-shell-100000-anti-racist-research-projects/24599

And not just UCSF.

Stony Brook University was recently awarded a $700,000 grant from the New York State Education Department, which it plans to use to increase diversity in K-12 leadership.

The program seeks to “integrate” diversity and inclusion into K-12 schools, both in leadership and beyond.

“The grant’s objectives are to help create a pipeline for emerging school leaders, to conduct and disseminate research on the effective strategies being used in the field, and to foster new and better leadership skills to integrate diversity and inclusion efforts deeply into school priorities, culture and operations.” an announcement on Stony Brook’s Website https://www.campusreform.org/article/stony-brook-u-receives-700k-state-grant-to-push-diversity-in-k-12-leadership/23632

and

Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, has created a new funding opportunity ($300,000) for faculty to research different projects in the areas of racial and social justice.

The new project is part of the university’s broader Racial and Social Justice efforts to create a campus where students feel “a sense of belonging and purpose,” spearheaded by university president Gregory Fenves. https://www.campusreform.org/article/university-to-provide-racial-justice-grants-of-up-to-300000/20975

and

The University of Richmond (UR) in Virginia recently received a 625K grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) to “study barriers to student inclusivity.”

Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the source of the grant, claimed to commit 2 billion dollars to increase racial, ethnic, and gender diversity in science. https://www.campusreform.org/article/university-receives-625k-grant-dei-/20801

anti-racist biomedical research projects

Something tells me they won't like the results.

Fun fact Homer and the others that told the story of Phaetheon describe how Phaetheon crashing his father Helios' chariot sent a fire ball to Africa that boiled the blood of those people out of their skin and turned them black. Understanding the deep allegory within these ancient myths it is a tale of someone who tinkered with their DNA not knowing what they were doing fully and being the source of that race. Warnings of DNA tinkering being the allegorical subject of many ancient Greek myths and Biblical myths including the original sin and the cause of Noah's flood.

They keep taming down the wording of the wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaethon#Homer_and_Hesiod

Universities are where people with radical ideas are supposed to speak.

I've got no problem with them inviting Dante King. I just have a problem with them disinviting everyone on the Right.

I think he is projecting heavily.
