Nothing gets leftists quite as mad as when a black goes against their race narrative. From Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. at lewrockwell.com:
Leftwing academics claim that blacks in America are oppressed. They call for reparations and affirmative action programs to help them. But these people are hypocrites and liars. How do we know this? When a black person doesn’t share their views, they act ruthlessly. Such people have to be eliminated. The ‘woke” left doesn’t care about blacks or anybody else who doesn’t parrot their views. Roland Fryer found this out the hard way.
Who is Roland Fryer? He is a brilliant economist who won the John Bates Clark Medal. This is an award given to the best economist under 40 and often predicts a future Nobel Prize. Moreover, not only is Fryer black, he came up the hard way. What more could the left ask for? Fryer got an endowed chair at Harvard. He was at the top of the academic heap. Harvard was happy to have him on the faculty.
Here is an account from the Harvard Gazette that shows how ecstatic Harvard was:
“Roland Fryer, the Henry Lee Professor of Economics, has been awarded the American Economic Association’s John Bates Clark Medal for his pioneering research on the economics of race and education.
Among the most prestigious awards in economics, the medal is presented annually to an American economist under 40 who, according to the association, has made “the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge.” Fryer, 37, is also the first African-American to receive the honor.
The Agenda demands that society is divided and thus conquered.
Mr Fryer’s investigations undermine one of the beliefs that divides society. It must be smeared and rendered suspect. As must the originator.
Nevertheless, truth and integrity have a longer shelflife than delusion and hatefulness. Sometimes life demands that we just wait it out.
