An academic doing rigorous and through work who published his unbiased research in the face of his coward colleagues who would prefer the narrative prevail. Make this man the president of Harvard.

See, this right here is the textbook example of how to do research properly. He went in with an expectation, the results did not conform to that expectation, so he checked again to make sure. When he got the same results, he did not shove his head up his ass and pretend that it wasn't real.

It's his own fault for saying things that the numbers reflect! He's history's greatest monster!!

The leftist "progressive" ideology does not exist without fear of retribution.

The only reason we are at where we are at currently is that they have handcuffed our right to defend ourselves from them because all the DAs in this country are bought and paid for by the left.

"Black tenured Harvard professor Dr. Roland Fryer had his career destroyed ..."

Someone doesn't understand what tenure is.

... On investigation, his wiki page details a quite different reason for his suspension from Harvard.

There are multiple meanings for the use of tenure when it comes to academics but it was used properly here. "Having job security that ensures academic freedom to conduct controversial or unpopular research" The reasons for him being lambasted by his formers is a direct result of some of his unpopular research, imo

I hope not.

I enjoyed the take of Ross, C.T., Winterhalder, B. & McElreath, R. Resolution of apparent paradoxes in the race-specific frequency of use-of-force by police. Palgrave Commun 4, 61 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-018-0110-z when resolving the discrepancy between the 2017 analysis of Dr. Roland Fryer's and a 2016 analysis with the apparently opposite findings (Ross, Cody T. "Identifying the Drivers of the Exceptionally High Rates of Lethal and Racially Biased Violence by Police in the United States Requires Geographically Resolved Data and Analysis." Sociological Forum. Vol. 31. No. 1. 2016.)

Fryer found that the factor of more than three that black people were likely to be shot by police wasn't due to bias, because they were more than three times more likely to have an interaction with police. Fine economics (Dr. Fryer's field), but I can see why a sociologist might question the approach, or at least how the findings are presented by the press.

Whether you believe them or not, that was the reason given for his suspension.

He likely has a lot of YTee ancestors because those with no such ancestors have an IQ of about 72, want to smoke weed, fuck as many bitches as he can, then go burn down a CVS.

He should have beat the shit out of his colleague that was criticizing him and then told him he deserved it for being a white (or most likely a Giu) privileged racist bastard!

Difficulty: the criticizer in chief was Mme. Gay, president of Harvard, and also a Black woman of color.
