Goodnight, Poor Harvard!

being the ignorant moron you are, i'm sure you didn't mean to ignore the point about TWO DOCTORS HAVING DIFFERING OPINIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or are you just trying to spread more disinformation and lies?
Insult away, Doolittle, since you obviously haven’t a clue what “medical consensus” means.

You’re free to snort as much HCQ as you like and use as many Ivermectin suppositories as you like, son.
I also support assisted suicide. God bless America! :flagsal:
 
How about if I remind you that I'm a woman who has actually been in a hostile work environment and subject to off-color remarks, innuendo, unwanted touching, power inequality and everything else these women said about Fryer? And many of my friends and co-workers IRL can say the same. I'm not so quick to dismiss complaints like this because I believe the vast majority of the women are being truthful. How about you trying to understand the women's side for a change?

I am concerned with the truth, surely you are as well?

Roland Fryer achieved more than he or anyone else ever expected. Despite a young life with many disadvantages, Fryer got his life together in college, where he excelled. He graduated early and with honors, and became a tenured professor of economics at Harvard University at only 30 years old.

After achieving so much, Fryer got dragged down by the “Me Too” witch hunt. Sources reported in 2018 that Harvard and the state of Massachusetts were investigating Fryer over sexual harassment allegations. Fryer said he was unfairly scrutinized because of his race, but Harvard suspended him for two years without pay and barred him from his research lab.

Harvard restored his teaching and research privileges in 2021, but Fryer can’t advise or supervise.

Fryer, who is no conservative, stirred the hornet’s nest when he published a paper in 2016 called, “An Empirical Analysis of Racial Differences in Police Use of Force,” before the worst of the Black Lives Matters riots after George Floyd died in police custody in 2020. Fryer, influenced by the deaths of Freddie Gray and Michael Brown, wanted an answer to this question: do the police use lethal force on blacks more than they do on whites?

According to the study’s abstract, Fryer found that blacks and Hispanics were more likely to experience non-lethal force by the police but found no racial differences in police shootings. This did not sit well with leftists, especially black leftists.

A company called Good Kid Productions released a documentary about Fryer in March 2022. You can watch “Harvard Canceled its Best Black Professor. Why?” below. Professor Glenn Loury, who teaches at Brown University, in March wrote a strong defense of Fryer on Substack (emphasis added):

To do the kind of work Roland does, you have to be more than brilliant. You have to be fearless. And I cannot help suspect that now Roland is paying the price for pursuing the truth wherever it leads. Several years ago, he was accused of sexual harassment by a disgruntled ex-assistant. In my opinion and that of many others, those accusations are baseless. But Harvard has used them as a pretext to shut down Roland’s lab, to curtail his teaching, and to marginalize him within the institution.

I’ll not mince words. Those at Harvard responsible for this state of affairs should be utterly ashamed of themselves. They have unnecessarily, heedlessly tarnished the career of an historically great economist. Again, I can’t help but suspect that they have effectively buried vital research not because it was poorly done but because they found the results to be politically inconvenient. “Veritas” indeed.

Who are the retards? You? Clearly I am not.

$100 says most of those who refuse the medical consensus of modern medicine in favor of FaceBook home remedies like HCQ and Ivermectin are retarded, brain damaged or otherwise mentally defective.

Typical provincialism, especially by kids.
Same thing happened to a friend’s kid who attended a school in Bavaria. That means Germans hate Americans?
My wife had a friend from Sachsen that moved to Bayern after the Wall came down. She lasted about six months. Bavarians hate all Saxons?
I can give countless examples of that, even within a city where there’s differences in social class.
Your anecdote doesn’t fly.

Nice try, but the chronology of the posts exposes your ploy. Originally, I questioned your buddy Tommy Primo's right wing wonk/racial bent regarding American politics/social situationsI've encountered over 20years. I stated that I personally have never read any of his stuff that uses the same bent regarding his British homeland, much less his adopted home in Thailand, so I wondered what's his issue?

YOU implied that his prattle was aimed more at an individual than a country or specific citizen groups in general....your support of such a statement is your (alleged) personal experience of being widely traveled and temporary living in various countries, but rarely experiencing any prejudice or bigotry. THAT is BS, and anyone who has engaged Tommy Primo on various topics (of his own origin or by others) knows so.

Another flaw in your assertion is that you indirectly support my previous statement....individual experiences tell the tale, since YOU point out that such bias behavior against foreigners exist in other countries (your attempts to minimize such experiences fails, as I never implied or alluded that an entire nation is bigoted because of the actions of a few or of a few provinces. In the last few decades, we've seen the rise of white supremacists, fascists and neo-nazi factions in various European countries. Doesn't mean an entire nation is of that mindset, but it does exist.

Your attempted deflection fails. My questioning of Tommy Primo stands, and the deconstruction of the OP's assertion by others and myself stands. However, this dog of yours just won't fly. Carry on.

1. Ask him, not me. I can’t read his mind but frequently being in Germany (I am now) and being reasonably fluent, even Germans have far more interest in American politics than we have in theirs. 2. Your second question makes an assumption based on a personal opinion making the question invalid. But once again, you’re asking the wrong person. I don’t know nor do I care.

My man, YOU rushed to the defense of your compadre. Don't blow smoke because you can't adequately do so, as I demonstrated in another response to you. Your opinion of Germans is just that...an opinion, because when I read the international sections in decent newspapers and magazines, the German people are a HELL OF A LOT MORE INVOLVED IN THEIR OWN SOCIAL POLITICS THAN AMERICANS. And over the years, it's been demonstrated that the majority sure as hell are not having any neo-nazi gov't takeover, and effectively use the proper system of public protest coupled with legit gov't actions to enforce that will.

My second question is just that....a question. And Tommy Primo's side of the political/social fence has LONG been established on this site. So I base my question on FACT, NOT baseless opinion. Bigots, racists and neo-Nazi's almost NEVER cop to those labels, yet their actions fit the definitions to a T.

And spare all this lame ass cop out that you don't care. If you didn't, then why respond to me? See, if I don't care I don't post to that subject or person. That's rational. What you do is irrational and dishonest in your final declaration. See a therapist about that, Moosie. Seriously.

I don't even respond to that arsehole any more, known him on and off for 20 years and he's never changed. I will say this though the woke febrile atmosphere in American universities spills over to the UK soon enough. Some places like Scotland even try to outdo them! They even have many feminists up in arms as well, Scotland used to be far more sane before the SNP gained control.

Look at posts #311 & #312, dear readers, to see my deconstruction of Moosie's attempted rescue/deflection of my assessment of Tommy Primo's OP.

As for our Ex-pat former National Front flunkie here....he displays the time honored blather of intellectually/morally defeated right wing wonks....he won't put me on his ignore list, but constantly circle jerks with his compadre's about how I'm not worth responding to (when he's not doing just that). A bit psychotic, that.

Post #233 is an example of Tommy Primo's BS....just IGNORE THE FACT that his hero copped to similar crimes past, and blather on with the usual MAGA talking points of "woke" and such. Poor Primo...another bigoted MAGA minion carping about women. But he's got his token cause here to attach his ideological noise and appear not prejudiced in the least. :rolleyes: Pity his history on this site tells a different tale (this is where the neocon/teabagger/fibbertarian/MAGA minion/alt right rummy types feign ignorance and demand a rehash of any of their past posts as proof of the accusation.....then deny the proof given).

20 years....the clown was on my permanent IA list when he was Tommy. Now as Primo, I find it satisfactory to just do so for a month or so. He use to post/respond to my threads & post despite the auto notice that he's on the ignore list. He can't help himself. Let's see how fast I can reduce him to idiotic babbling that'll put him on the list again. ;)
 
I went to shitty public schools. Freeschool.
You you taught the Kreb’s Cycle in 1st grade?
Man, I had a lot of ground to make up.

Heh. It's a very basic biology. Like how plants grow. And how to grow them. Just like how our ancestors taught our young ancestors.

Did you get in much detail about the differences between the oxygenic photosynthesis in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria or was that delayed until second grade?
