(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Police in the US do not use lethal force against Blacks more than they do against white people. In fact, they use that force about 23% less than they do against whites. That was the result that Roland's research team discovered. Some of his colleagues advised him against publishing it because it was "so different." But he did publish it.
A previously fired assistant then filed accusations of sexual harassment against him out of revenge (according to her friend). A Harvard investigator found no basis for it. But Harvard University punished him with 2-year suspension and the end of his research lab, essentially "career death." Claudine Gay was on the deciding committee.
Why? Apparently because his work challenged the official narrative that systemic racism causes American police to frequently kill black men, so Roland's research had to be stopped. So much for "veritas" at Harvard.
Dr. Roland Fryer still wants to find strategies that actually help black kids achieve. "Truth helps us. False narratives do not. I find it insulting that people would change the truth because they think they're trying to help us."
