It's gotta be racism, says Harvard..


https://www.theroot.com/a-judge-asked-harvard-to-find-out-why-so-many-black-peo-1845017462

I don't really feel like applying original research right now, but this is a Harvard study.. So I automatically assume it's been "lawyered" up, and it's full of *(probably) intentional / strategic inaccuracies.* (but if not, that's great)

* I think some of these people really aren't as smart as their credentials would suggest, and they gather data from tainted sources, without noticing..

I assume they should've accounted for repeat offenders? They don’t mention it in the article that I noticed, so that usually means that they're strategically not accounting for it. (and hope their readers don't notice)

I'd also wonder if they're doing what they usually do, and lumping white and Hispanic intot he same numbers, to bloat white, for things like "driving while intoxicated".


 And, local demographics factor. (possibly unfairly) But if they don't mention something, it probably means it'd be useful context, that'd suggest it's a big city vs small town issue, and not a race, race, racity, race-race issue.
So for example, as an analogy, if you had a large high school with several fights per month, they’d probably get to a point where they’re far more likely to just suspend the perps.

The same number of fights, spread out over several small high schools, might get handled differently since the staff dealing with them would be different..*

* Of course, that's not to say that fight-rates are even remotely the same in the inner-city.. (And they'd be higher, if the dropout rates weren't so high)

** Plus, this is a Massachusetts study, but they definitely want everyone to assume that this represents a cross-section of the rest of the country.

Well, it's socially accepted, more so, then in any other group, including Latino illegals to be a thug, to glorify the thug's life. Also, to eschew book learning, and those who do book learning. No other group, not Native Americans, not Samoans, not Italians, nor Irish, nor, southern Whites.

I hold that certain ideologies and this is one, can make people idiotic. This is what the liberals have accused us of being, because; Donald, or loyalty to country, or God belief. In reality, these are the same people who hold climate as faith, who sided with the Soviets over pershing missiles in Europe during the Carter and Reagan era's, who judge people by their ethnic identity, rather than their Behavior.

Re: It's gotta be racism, says Harvard..


Yeah, and as noted in the OP, pushing through that article is clearly wasted effort, in that you get the impression that its BS.

A good hard look at this "Harvard study" by a forensic stat expert would probably destroy it.

The details of it remind me of the old "driving while Black" phrase. The big case from that was an investigation that showed that, actually, the Cops deliberately stopped fewer Black speeders and other driving offenders than other races, due to acute awareness of how so many were accusing of them being racist.

And even so, Black drivers were driving more criminally in more numbers, that their rate of criminal driving was the reason for their higher rate of being stopped and ticketed. Here's a good account of it:

"Being denounced as virtual Klansmen, the state troopers demanded a real study.

Confident that any new study would merely serve to confirm the troopers’ racism, the DOJ and the New Jersey attorney general commissioned a statistical investigation from the Public Services Research Institute in Maryland.

The institute’s study was a spectacular thing. Using expensive monitors with high-speed cameras and radar detectors, they clocked the speeds of nearly 40,000 drivers on the relevant section of the turnpike. Three researchers then examined the photos to determine the race of the driver — without knowing whether the driver was speeding, which was defined as going more than 80 mph in 65 mph zones.

The result: No racial profiling.

Blacks constituted 25 percent of all speeders and they were 23 percent of drivers stopped for speeding. Controlling for age and gender, blacks sped at about twice the rate of whites. The racial disparity was even greater for drivers exceeding 90 mph.

Inasmuch as the study was irrefutable, Mark Posner, a lefty Clinton holdover in the Bush Justice Department, tried to block it from being released, continuously demanding more information.

But no matter how statisticians fiddled with the data, the results were identical: Blacks were twice as likely to speed as whites — and at much higher speeds. The troopers were completely vindicated.

When the study finally leaked — over Posner’s objections — he informed the press it wasn’t “valid” without articulating any actual problems with it. The attorney general of New Jersey, David Samson, nonsensically said the results didn’t matter because New Jersey had already admitted its troopers were engaging in racial profiling.

Perhaps the Times is right and there is no comprehensive study of police shootings by race. But it’s also possible that there is one, it didn’t come out as planned, so it has never seen the light of day.

Yeah, and when they're fact-checked and found to be "wrong", they should be called out for it, held accountable and ridiculed.

Re: It's gotta be racism, says Harvard..


This is a recent example I came across..
https://phys.org/news/2020-07-white-people-black-police.html
quote:

"Although Black people represented 12 percent of the population in the states we studied, they made up 25 percent of the deaths in police shootings," Miller says.

By comparison, Miller says, white people represented 62 percent of the population—and made up 54 percent of the deaths in encounters with police.

^ See? They strategically left out the 53% of murder and significant % of armed robbery and violent crime.

What does committing more than half the murder while being only 25% of the deaths by police say?

I mean, isn't it surprising to see such a dumbshite article by a supposedly reputable website that normally covers physics and science subjects?
Math and statistics should be their forte...

It's a version of our fight for Don against the evil Orcs and their vile Masters.

The PC-soaked lefties who keep pouring out of our school system now populate so many places. Every Grad period, more and more thickly.

One of them at Phys.Org undoubtedly proudly typed that work.

As to Math - our wonderful, noble, saintly teachers are pushing Common Core Math, now.

The hope of those who created that mess may well have done so, out of wanting many more students to be bad at math, so Black students who fail can stand out less.

The Charter School and Home School movements are one of our big hopes hopes, both for all races of Students, and for the country. The monsters in control of our childrens' minds are one of the Dems great strengths.

Some Public Schools are creating in-school Charter Schools, to appeal to parents with higher expectations than can be expected at many Public schools. And specifically to try to hold onto White Students in the face of the usual White Flight from bad or iffy Public Schools.

But when it happens, the old "equity" goblin raises its ugly head, and spits out envy. And so, even as the in-house Charter School manages to succeed and hold onto some of the students who might have fled - cries of "racism" inevitably arise.

'Cause hey, them Charter kids doin' better! And they be more White...

Yeah, the common core math seems to be weirded up..
I remember I mentioned to my sister-in-law, that kids should know the multiplication tables, since you use those as a tool to do other math. (like long division) She said that's all changed now, with the common core.

Another random issue I noticed, with the HuffPost union:
https://twitter.com/HuffPostUnion/status/1305538234080952324
quote:


 HuffPost is disproportionately white. Among unionized/non-management editorial staff, only 6.8% are Black (U.S. is 13% Black) and only 1.7% are Latinx (U.S. is 18% Latinx). In management, there is only ONE Black person and ONE Latinx person. 25 out of 36 managers are white.


25 out of 36 is 69.44%.. So given the age bracket of the average manager, 69% may very well be in line with statistics. (at least when it comes to managers)

Of course, not to them. They would imply that others being represented out of proportion is a good thing, and the black / hispanic quota should come out of the white %.

It's like the OP Harvard study. They'll keep claiming racism, and accusing racism regardless of reality. They'll keep yelling about racism until the whole country is as immune as I am to the charge.

They boy who cried wolf was a character based in a small town, maybe a village.

The Dems and others who keep crying "racist!" have been enthusiastically at it for much of my life, as I followed news and debated politics often with my old-school Dem Dad.

They won the field often, for most of those decades, using that demagogic tool. But that tool has finally dulled! Thankfully!

Yep. Well, it's worked on me. And their relentless lying with statistics has destroyed their credibility. I'll never take their word for anything..

I don't get how they think they can just ignore crime like that, and act as if everything's the same in the inner-city, and disproportionate numbers regarding police interaction is all due to the fact that the police are racist villains...

I mean, if they wanna rationalize crime rates by pointing to poverty or history, fine.. But they've trained many people to hate the police, and to think it's all their fault.
