Here are excerpts of what Fryer said in the article listed on the first post of this subject.
(The Direct quotes from Fryer, are underlined)Which ones did the source lie ?
Any time line on your, opinion, if the information is TRUE ?
The Harvard professor shared his experience with Bari Weiss, a journalist for The Free Press, when he published the paper researching racial bias in Houston policing.
The issue came with the latter part of his study that found:(F). [N]ot only were blacks not more likely to be shot at than their white counterparts, but it was more likely police would use their firearms against the white suspects.Fryer shared that even he was surprised with the results. He recruited eight fresh research assistants to redo the data, and they found the same results as before. But according to the professor:(F) [A]fter he confirmed the data and was ready to share, that’s when all hell broke loose.He stated:(F)It was a 104-page dense, academic economics paper with a 150-page appendix, OK?
It was posted for four minutes before I got my first email ‘This is full of s–t!’
He shared that his colleagues doubted the results, pointing to flaws in the methods he used despite the fact that they used the same methods in their own research.He said:(F) I had colleagues take me into the side and say, ‘Don’t publish this, you’ll ruin your career,’ I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ I said, ‘What’s wrong with it? Do you believe the first part? Yes. Do you believe the second part? Well … the issue is they don’t fit together.’Even then-dean of Harvard Claudine Gay claimed his research “exhibited a pattern of behavior” that did not meet the expectations of the university.
Fryer then shared a story about how he had to be escorted by a bodyguard to go buy diapers for his newborn because of the immense backlash he faced for his findings.
Is this bizarre or typical of the degraded state of sociocultural health in America?To wit:
[A]n economist who worked hard on a study and verified the results were accurate is punished for those results because they don’t fit into a narrative.
… said his colleagues told him:
(F)f the second half of his study also showed bias in police violence that he should publish it in full, but as it was, it shouldn’t be a single study.

One would think that results showing blacks are less likely to be shot by police would be a positive. Proof that supposed institutional racism is being mispresented should be good news for everyone, yes?
Unfortunately, the mental illness of the Left requires a category of victims for them to manipulate.(F) So, when something comes out that concretely shows that the narrative the liberal media has worked so hard to craft is a sham, it’s immediately in their sights.Final thoughts, two imperatives: Imagine the amount of valuable research and sociocultural advancement that has been suppressed because it did not fit the liberal narrative.
And likewise, imagine the valuable findings that are distorted to meet liberal biases for publication.How interesting:
"dean of Harvard Claudine Gay
claimed his research “exhibited a pattern of behavior” that did not meet the expectations of the university."
Don't see any, 'allegations' of ''sexual misconduct'.
Yet that does not matter even if true.
As a POTUS, on TV, said :
" I Did Not Have Sex With That Woman "And it was PROVED, beyond a shadow of a doubt, he did.
And-just over half this Nation did NOT CARE he lied !
