    Professor fired for ‘faking data to prove lynching makes whites want longer sentences for blacks,’ 6 studies retracted


    I'm actually astounded that he was fired. Considering the left wing lunacy that goes on in colleges, I would think they'd protect him for life. One for being a champion of their left wing lunacy that they believe whether there is any evidence or not. Two, for being embarrassed that he got away with making up his bullshit for so long.

    The article also says that he was vice president at the American Society of Criminology, and was in line to be the president. He received $3.5 million in grants, including taxpayer money.

    He was "outed" by a white graduate student, whose reputation he tried to ruin.

    My only question is: Who will win the bidding war for him, CNN or MSNBC?

    This reminds me of a story that goes in the opposite direction. A while back a professor from either Harvard or Yale did a study on how the Houston, TX police treat blacks and whites. His study concluded that cops treated blacks better than whites and it went against what the school wanted to see and they harassed the snot out of him until he quit. Oh, and the professor was black.

    Your confusion reflects your misunderstanding of the left. You may believe the left is wrong, but the left as a whole really cares about facts and science, and trusts real experts. The right tends to get away from the facts and into conspiracies more.

    It is great, and expected, that this guy was fired for this. Glad he got caught. Though I have never heard of his research and it sounds like it was pointless and stupid to begin with.

    What too many will fail to realize is that this guy would've found the data if it was actually out there. That he had to fabricate it shows just how little systemic racism there actually is.

    You mean like that fake Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election from Hillary hoax? You mean those facts?

    There was reason to be suspicious, given Trump's public statements about Russia helping him (Russia, if you're listening, I hope you can find [Clinton's e-mails]), and the Trump tower meeting with the Russian lawyer to get dirt on Clinton, and the way Russia did in fact try to help Trump win, and the way Trump was so much more friendly towards Russia than predecessors, and the dossier (which was concerning, but not substantiated to stand on its own). But it was investigated, no smoking gun was found, and the left dropped it. All seemed pretty reasonable to me.

    What facts and science is that exactly?
    Is it the "fact" that mutilating a 14yr old's breasts will help her with mental issues?
    Is it the fact that a think paper face mask will protect you from a virus?
    Is it the fact that people were still getting covid after the miraculous 6-month tested vaccine?
    Is it the science that letting millions of illegals over the border is somehow going to improve our carbon footprint?
    Yeah, i got news for you homie, saying the word "science" every now and then doesnt' mean the same as caring about the facts and science.
    Wake up!!!!!

    You are arguing from an apparently emotional standpoint. I understand the confusion, but if you read and understood the literature, you wouldn't be. Most on the left just trust the experts. Most on the right choose to trust conservative pundits over experts, and that's idiotic. With some effort, I could help you with #1-3. I have no idea where you're even coming from on the #4 illegals comment. I have not seen such an assertion before.

    #1: Studies show that, for the diagnosis of gender dysphoria, it improves outcomes. Though 14 is a bit younger than the usual as far as I'm aware.

    #2: Respiratory viruses travel in droplets and aerosols moreso than as "naked viruses." Droplets are bigger than the pores in masks. Any barrier will reduce the viral load a person is exposed to. Ceteris paribus, this will reduce the likelihood of transmission. Valid studies have shown a moderate benefit to masks in reducing covid transmission, at least for earlier variants. Invalid studies with methodological issues, or valid studies being misused, were highlighted by conservatives.

    #3: The utility of a medical intervention is judged by harm vs benefit. For covid, the vaccine reduced transmission of and severity of covid, particularly for earlier variants. Just because it was never as effective as the smallpox vaccine, doesn't mean it wasn't helpful.

    Yes, Truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is more effective than lies over time, and propaganda based on lies is becoming less effective every year.
    That is one benefit from the internet and quick access to so many sources.
    The people have become very suspicious of any "party line".

    I'd like to point out that this story broke several months ago, and at that time we were told this guy's 'research' was used to prove wide spread systemic racism across the country by the people who need to race hustle.

    Russia tried to help both Hillary and Clinton to foment anger and hate. And Obama was always very friendly with Russia, even had an open mic. Hillary actually took fake dirt from Russia.

    This isn’t surprising, and the real scary part is how often this may go undetected. The demand from leftists for racism is astounding. The fact they view themselves as pro science, fact, etc is astoundingly ignorant of the true nature of the average leftist.

    You have to wonder how many libs on this board cited stats that ultimately came from this fraud.

    This is the standard liberal argument. If you were only 'educated' on what we believe, then you would understand. Liberals don't educate. They indoctrinate. And when that doesn't work, they riot. Look at all the celebrities who preach the 'climate change' mantra. Not one of them, and I mean not one of them, is a physicist or climate expert. They just parrot the liberal loonies because they think they 'care'.

    Undoubtedly false, the left’s tendencies to call the people racist on loosely interpreted data is quite common.

    Sure they do. That is why they said Covid was less of a threat to black lives than white people and encouraged mass race riots during the height of the Covid crisis..... because they care about facts and science. I would love to see the left's definition of "facts" and "science", I suspect it is anything that justifies consolidating power for the Democrats

    Anyway, once again, I was glad to see this guy fired...
    He made a mockery of academia...
