Roland Fryer gets canceled

I’ve written about Roland Fryer before. Fryer, a prize-winning professor of economics at Harvard, an African-American man (relevantly to this issue). His big contribution to the national debate on policing and Black deaths at the hands of police was a detailed study that showed: Black Americans (usually young men) are not killed by police in greater number than are white suspects, proportionate the the number of interactions. 

Glen Loury, himself a professor of economics at Brown University, talks about the issue starting here. 

Fryer was cancelled because his findings -- the data, the truth, "the science”! -- show the opposite of what is pushed by the Black Lives Matter movement -- that a police officer begins his days wondering how many young Black men he can kill that day. The stats show otherwise, according to Fryer.

Cancel you, Unbeliever! Via a tawdry Title IX case.

Earlier Fryer had done studies into the issue of “acting white”. The theory -- which Fryer confirms with stats -- that Black students are less popular at school the more they succeed at school. Because success, especially at the higher levels, is seen as “acting white”. Other people have called this the “cultural brick”, holding them down, vs the “cultural hot-air-baloon” which lifts up others, like the Asian-American community. I’m also recalling a graduation day where the prize winning students, the ones who were Black (and only they), were booed and hissed by their Black classmates, as they collected their prizes. Because “acting white”. Pretty depressing.
