Roland Fryer was an unlikely Harvard superstar. Abandoned by his mom at birth and raised by an alcoholic dad, Fryer became the youngest black professor to ever secure tenure at Harvard and won the prestigious John Bates Clark Medal, the prize for the best economist under 40 in the world.
Fryer’s research routinely upended the woke orthodoxies dominating academia. But not on purpose; Fryer isn’t partisan. He’s only interested in digging up truth, no matter what it is. Truth, he says, is the key tool for improving the lives of black boys and girls.
Then, in 2018, Fryer’s career was suddenly cut short. Harvard had an official line on why: he’d sexually harassed his staff. Fryer was banned from campus and his multi-million dollar lab was shut down. The few legacy media outlets that did cover the case, such as the New York Times, dutifully repeated the university’s narrative: this punishment was overdue MeToo justice.
No, it wasn’t. Drawing on previously unreported documents and interviews with dozens of Fryer’s friends and colleagues, we reveal his cancellation for what it was: an ideological purge.

I literally stumbled upon this video after Harvard president Claudine Gay was accused of multiple counts of plagiarism. What amazes me is that this video was shot more than a year before Professor Gay's disastrous testimony before Congress on anti-semitism on college campuses. What's particularly relevant is that in addition to Gay, Harvard professor Lawrence Lobo is also featured in Dr. Gay's plagiarism saga. Wild.
Exactly. In case anyone thinks it's a witch hunt. This is evidence that she might just be a crook all along
Gay should be banned even as a student at Harvard, never mind the president.
Same. Truly amazing that it’s the same person who is now credibly accused of plagiarism and is looking increasingly as if she doesn’t belong in her position. Rich irony.
I too made my way here exactly as you did lol, and I'm looking forward to the inevitable rabbit hole this unfathomable hypocrisy and divisive, bordering on jealous behavior by Gay, will undoubtedly lead me down
I was a Harvard grad student in the late '60s and beyond. I once was proud of being a graduate but the university's DEI fixations and their consequences over the past few decades have left me feeling both embarrassed and furious. The school has abandoned its esteemed European-American intellectual heritage in order to opt for shallow social activism. When a guy like Glenn Loury finds reason to unload on your temporizing ignorance and your shallow victim-hood (take note, Ms. Gay), you have not yet begun to get it right.
Excellent presentation. The party line described as the "soft porn of black pain, an empty endless recitation of victimhood that gives ample moral pleasure to the audience but actually accomplishes nothing [for black children.]" Roland is a hero.
Do you know who else is a hero? - Thomas Sowell - read The Quest for Cosmic Justice published in 1999 - more relevant now than ever.
Yes.
@@brittanywilliams4282 there's many reasons no one ever invited Sowell to such Tables and it is sad and pathetic. The way that man's mind works is truly above them all. Full Stop. And all from how his camera aperture worked.
When I heard him say that, I thought to myself, "Only you, Thomas, only you."
That is some quote
Perhaps but his Achilles heel is a common one for those achieving success in this world. Pride & inappropriate communication with people of the opposite sex in a work environment. You’ve got to be careful if your speaking the truth!
Wow. This documentary called out Claudine Gay before most of America ever heard of her. Great job! Too bad for it was not more popular before she was picked for president.
Funny how she believes in holding others accountable but plagiarism isn't a big deal,
I'm shocked that this was allowed to stay online. It is the same treatment for any vocal black person who tries to do something for their communities, shut down by white AND black progressive, liberal, democrats. But yet they are still voted in because their lies are believed and they own the major mainstream news.
Well said
The ideal for the opposition party that does not exist would be to find a half-african woman to run.
I guess for the lack of better options the Republican or the Libertarian
@@KibyNykraft Harvard needs diversity of thought and not pigment.
Roland Fryer should apply for the position of Harvard President.
"Roland Fryer should apply for the position of Harvard President."
Only one problem with that. Fryer traffics in facts and intelligence, which makes him ineligible for senior roles at Harvard.
No, Harvard is going into the dustbin of history. This man needs to help our Nation...not just the tiny fraction of 1% who go to Harvard.
He needs a cabinet position in the next administration. Maybe he can figure out how to carve the Dept of Ed by 85% , yet make it VALUABLE to our children!
@@IntegrityandKarma Now you're talking.
No way😂
He's way too good for that bogus institution

As a Harvard Law School grad, I encourage all alumni to cease donating to Harvard until this injustice is rectified. There were already countless reasons to deny Harvard philanthropic funding, this case is the most important reason to do so.
Spot on!
if you were actually a law grad, you would know that nobody out here in a CZcams forum like this has ever donated to Harvard; besides, Harvard's endowment is self-sustaining. Stop it. QED
@@danilopompey754 Your criticism is dumb. You have no idea whether there is a Harvard donor among the tens of millions of people who have posted comments on CZcams. One doesn’t need to be a Harvard Law School grad to make such a dumb criticism or to post the comment I made. Lastly, perhaps you should direct your criticism to Harvard which, despite your assertion about a self-sustaining endowment, continues to pummel its alumni with donation solicitations.
@@brittanywilliams4282 Your criticism is ironically far more dumb. Harvard's endowment is worth 53 BILLION dollars, which is presumably largely reinvested. It surely makes billions by simply existing. And there's no question that continuous solicitation yields a continuous net gain despite its "pummeling" for more (i.e. snail-mail and email for money, which clearly works).
@@seriouscatisserious yes it has a large endowment but it also has huge expenses, being what it is. In the year 2019, Harvard spent close to a whooping 2 billion paying for various things. 54 Billion money can run out in not so long time, given the behemoth that Harvard is.
Of course they would pummel alumni with requests. It's a well known fact that alumnis of many prestigious universities are routinely pestered for donations.
Your comment lacks real world perspective, a proper premise and understanding of how things really work.
This is disgusting. Literally millions of kids thrown under the bus for personal gain.
CZcams is kinda free and all he can teach is welcomed here.
@@catpawjack7687A house and bills aren’t free, and I’m sure he can’t afford to not work and to go through building an audience large enough to support him financial through donations and monetization.
@@catpawjack7687CZcams is owned by Google which basically is also a woke company
Him too. Glad he's embarrassed. What about all the people who are destroyed. Generation to generation. While he licks the butts of who he wants to be. He's gross.

"They pay you for that sh*t?" - Grandma
Extremely valid question, Grandma
Frightening example of how cancelling honest intellectual debate has damaged scholars like Roland Fry and black children. I'm an emeritus professor of public health at Temple University and saw this indoctrination over intellectual honesty evolve over the last 20 years of my career. I couldn't teach under current "cancel culture" conditions - so wrenchingly portrayed here. Thank you for this documentary and the courage to speak the truth.
Exactly, I truly believe the intellectual community is aware of the double standards and hypocrisy.
My bachelor's was in public health and I'm now finishing medical school. In these critically important schools, the places where our health leaders and physicians are trained, truth is gone and replaced by ideological rhetoric and narratives. I'm thoroughly disgusted by the last 8 years of my academic life. Can't wait to get through residency and push back on the ideology.
As an former professor at a predominantly minority community college, I can tell you Prof. Fryer is 100% on the money.
"an professor"? I'm guessing not an English professor.
@@rabidcentrist Thank you for correcting my typographical error, if not my point.
@@rabidcentristWell he proves he's Human, like you! Though you're an A-Hole Human but no one's counting...except one.
@@rabidcentrist Once again majoring in the minors. Go away.
Professor, even a former one, could do a better job in expressing his or her opinion.
This is one of the biggest "what goes around comes around" I've ever heard of. I can't imagine the vindication Dr. Fryer is feeling right now.
You get a like simply for your name
A wyte woman lied on him like Jonathon Majors and you pple are trying to blame Claudine? lol Mr Fryer thought Whyte pple were his friends well he found out the hard way that racism still exist no matter how hard he works and tries to deny it. Six people were on the committee but you only found out the two blck persons who were there, how convenient. 🙄
I bet he feels sorry for her not vindicated. The issue is poor scholarship in academia and that is not solved still.
True that!! Apparently, Claudine Gay got what was coming to her. Will Bobo be next? Wouldn't it be something if somehow Roland Fryer becomes the next President of Harvard University???
@@roc7880 woke university ideologues can be a particularly spiteful, resentful and nasty bunch. He was publicly humiliated for not aligning with the political ideology in place. Claudine Gay's story is one of hubris, arrogance, hate and downfall. Perhaps he can find some room for feeling sorry for her. That would make him a particularly good human being.
Can you imagine? Fryer makes it. Past all the struggles. To be assassinated by two black professors.
What a shame!!! It's a disgrace... Plain and simple
No it is not, sadly at all
Quite imaginable when you're conditioned with a crab in the barrel mindset as a result of the very real likelihood that only a few make it past all those struggles.
Roland Fryer is about 1,000 times smarter than Claudine Gay. He really is a genius. I wish he was secretary of education.
He can't be that smart if he thought whyte people were his friends and allowed himself to get into the trap of whyte woman lying on a black man to end his career again. 😂
You can be a genius, and still be taken down by a maliciously self interested individual.
HELL TF NO.
you dont even have a reason why youre saying hell no. just a nameless peon who has accomplished nothing@@Heyu7her3
Which part of merit is irrelevant do you not understand?
Nothing more dangerous than a rigorous economist who doesn’t succumb to politics or ego. And you could always tell Roland’s heart is in it.
Great production.
They didn’t interview Roland. Hard to tell his heart based off of a few CZcams clips.
@@nickycheese True that you shouldn't impute intention based on a few choice clips. Thankfully, theres no shortage of his articles, videos, or research in case you want to form an opinion. Search bar is right up there ^^^
Um, no ego? Give me a break.
Not knocking Roland by any means but Thomas Sowell he is not.

He was canceled by Claudine Gay? He should put that on his resume; badge of honor.
The irony of Claudine gay saying "when words turn into actions" about calling for a genocide of Jews, yet cancels a professor for literally nothing, only because he goes against her ideological bubble.
She said plenty of fucked up stuff without having to make shit up. You seem just as bad as her from here

When you have something to hide, the truth is something to be feared and reviled and the truth is that everyone has something to hide. So we hide the truth deep inside and perpetuate the lie to keep everything rolling smoothly along.
@@mcqueen390that’s true, a lie is harmless since people know how fake it is, but the truth is uncomfortable, usually packaged with political or ideological lies, and is something most people would rather call you out on then actually listen to

@@MikeDonaldson-eh2ru he was forced to, you would do the same. If sending flirty messages is “harassment” then we should all be in prison.
I have a dream: Claudine Gay is finally fired, and Roland Fryer becomes Harvard's new President!
I just said that, and Harvard need such a younger guy to have the energy to clean up everything. Not some 60 year old with one eye out for their pension.
yep, spot on
Your dream came true! And now the apologist are blaming it on that old classic: racism.
And no female on campus will then be safe from harassment... Careful what you ask for,
wish your dream came true (chances about 0,000478%) she resigned and will sooner or later get another job that pays her maybe not 900k, but 500k, which is still far far too much
This aged incredibly well, what goes around comes back around…
"It's not about beating the odds, it's about changing the odds"
Roland Fryer
Prof. Roland Fryer has already distinguished himself in the field of economics. Woke cancellation can neither erase nor change this. Harvard is the mountain top. He need not seek another Ivy League teaching position. There are community colleges that he can help. There are think tanks that will be more than willing to open their doors to his kind of research. There are rich individuals that believe in his work and can bankroll his research. He has options, and will use whichever he chooses to continue making a positive difference in society.
I would love it if he returned to the Prestigious University of Chicago (my school...lol) where he did Post Doctorate work under Dr. Gary Becker and then he could win the Nobel Prize. The U of C only believes in Truth and is the most prestigious least PC school in the Nation.
I love your upbeat attitude and hope you are right! I know he is still at Harvard right now, and I am sure it is for a reason and that he has a game plan.
Well said
The Hoover Institute came into mind. I am not so sure Roland will like Commyfornia, everyone are leaving.
There are excellent reasons why someone of his calibre doesn't want to teach at the community college level. To pursue his research, he needs institutions that draw the big money in, grants that come with prestige and subsidize his and the work of his assistants.
Amazing!! A similar situation happened to me but by no means on the same scale. I was a brand new teacher straight out of college. My first class room was in an all black school in Chattanooga. The school system had adopted a new curriculum, but it wasn't working. My students began regressing instead of progressing. I had data to prove it. I refused to "get on board" with the mandate from the Central Office. That school year my students went from a 1 to a 5 (the highest) on our state level, yet I was evaluated as ineffective. My students had the highest gains in our entire school system. I helped moved them to read on grade level. I say helped because my students had to do the work. I am still in contact with many of them. What hurts my heart the most is that many of them never obtained a literacy level higher than 5 or 6th grade. My students CAN and DID learn, so what happened after they left my classroom?? Roland's research is spot on!!
Here wishing we could verify your story. But we we can't, so your anecdote is of no value.
I’m native and our one room primitive schoolhouse teachers would come and go and in 1956 we got a German immigrant displaced from the second world. The best teacher I ever had. Hard work means success but he didn’t tell it to our faces, he showed us how it works.
@@MiCajaDelIdiotayour comment is of no value-
@@Coffee993 Oh, I think it is. It reveals that the guy is a sexual harasser.
@@MiCajaDelIdiotahe was flirting…. There was never any sexual proposition.. Harvard’s own investigation recommended training only…??
“I am just following the data wherever it leads. What are you doing?” A simple question from an academic, but it’s more than a bit bizarre that he had to ask it. At Harvard.
I wouldn’t contribute a nickel to Harvard or any other university who actively supports this sort of aggressive behavior against such a distinguished individual who wants to help his brothers and sisters to excel in the educational realm to improve their lives.
Our idiot governor gives them millions of our taxpayer dollars annually. We’re supporting organizations whose intention is to destroy our country.

OK i just have to take a minute to appreciate the quality of this doc - the soundtrack, the graphics, the narration, the editing, it's all so good. I had never heard of Roland Fryer before but from the excerpts of his speeches, not only is he a genius but he is incredibly charismatic. I am going to have to go find some more videos of him to watch after this.
I could swear I watched a longer version of it about a year ago.
This video aged well.
Truly a treasure of a video. I went to a school where I was the minority with a majority of black students. Here's the thing, all of them excelled academically. I don't mean did well but excelled. The difference was it wasn't in the United States. The expectation was we would do well in school and race had no input as surely as height or eye color has no net educational input.
My daughter is in high school here in the US. What she tells me about the culture of low expectations is truly immoral. We as a country are throwing away the raw materials of academic greatness, by underserving these kids.
I am a European immigrant with my child born in the US. The entire 3-8th grade of my child I felt I was swimming against the stream of school’s low expectations. I gave up in high school…
But the “it’s good enough for the teacher” has stayed with me.
I spoke at the Harlem Children Zone to help encourage kids to join the tech industry. I had no idea people opposed the concept. Shameful.
Update: she’s resigned her position as president. Will still hold professorship.
All she had to do to keep her undeserved president gig was denounce anti-semitism, a task that most people find pretty easy.
She did denounce it many times. The problem is that she refused to discipline students who were crying for Jewish genocide, while shutting down conservatives/ libertarians for actual free speech that didn't call for genocide or harm to anyone. It is also really disturbing but predictable that what really took her down wasn't her blatant plagiarism or her disgustingly anti-American censorship of Americans that she disagreed with, but it was all about Israel 🤦♂️ She should never have been hired. DEI hire at its finest.
I watched the 3 musketeers appear before Congress. There were 3 big things that stood out. 1 - the three of them collaborated on their responses and the responses were very lawyer like. 2- they wanted to show off their power and thumb everyone that disagreed in the eye. 3-they were completely out of touch with the public. The last one was the most worrisome. These 3 have obviously spent all their time in woke ivory towers repeating the same DEI mantras over and over until there is no one left that will so much as even ask hard questions of them. Ivy league schools have less than 2% of their administration and senior positions filled up right wing people. Whether you are a democrat or a republican this should be worrisome as the schools have slowly shut down viewpoints running contrary to the woke left wing narrative. Free speech, a diversity of ideas and critical thinking have been replace by safe spaces. censorship, a ban of speakers, DEI and a general cancelling of anyone not on board. I ama retired engineer but I managed many large departments that hired new grads. Over the last 2 decades the changes have been drastic. I noticed I was getting an increase in grads that could not communicate in person, had fragile egos and a set of ideas that somehow they were superior to previous graduates. The skills they deployed were no longer hard work, attention to detail and quality. Instead they led with office politics, DEI innuendo and a general negative attitude. I dont know if today I would recommend that my kids attend and Ivy league university, even on a fully paid scholarship, it is that bad.
That's not accurate. Stefanik's fallacious question was an invitation to virtue-signalling intended to trip Gay up no matter what she might have answered.
And collect $900K/year.

Claudine Gay is about to become the most gated person in America
Why did we not hear more about this earlier? Why did no one -not one journalist in major media link Fryer's career extinction to Gay as she was being re-evaluated for her, in my opinion, underserved position as Harvard President? Please NYT and others bring this up now.
because it was whyte woman first mafe allegations against him.
As someone who decided to change career and go back to school to become a teacher in an urban school district (Newark, NJ), I can totally identify with Roland Fryer. The liberal academia is full of these privileged (and black and supposedly POC) Ph.D.s and Ed.D's who make careers out of trying to outdo one another on the point of how woke they are. They come up with the fanciest sound bites and theories about how the Black and Latino communities are held back by systemic racism. Their theories need to be ever more radical and edgier in order to secure funding for grants. Oh, they love to talk about the term Agency, which I heard for the first time in grad school being used that way; that POC has agency, but when it came to the power to lift themselves and advocate for their community to do better, all of a sudden they had none, because they were victims of systemic racism. None of these POC professors lived in Newark, where they made careers out of supposedly trying to "lift up" the disadvantaged students. They all lived in fancy neighborhoods with great school districts. Ironically, only one white Jewish professor moved to the Western ward of Newark, supposedly one of the worst, bought a house, and lived in the community, whom I respected greatly because he walked the talk. The director of the program at Montclair State University, who is black, told us grad students that the worst kind of teacher is one from the Hood. Why? Because the teachers got out of Hood and they challenge the students, why can't they? And how did those teachers get out of the Hood? THROUGH HARD WORK!!!! No f***ing Rocket Science. But they are uncomfortable with that truth. No wonder POC who get out of the "Hood" don't become teachers, because the schools inculcate against everything they know how to get ahead. And the woke liberals complain that there aren't enough teachers of color who can be role models for these kids.
I see 14 people like this comment, but please examine your use of the word "Worst" in the sentence beginning..."The director of the program...".
If I'm reading it correctly, surely you mean _best._
I’ve never seen so many dependent martyrs in my life.Why,except to leverage your race,would you constantly whine about your perceived disadvantage? Why would you Always use race as your fallback to attempt to explain away your own shortcomings? I would think portraying yourself as a victim is just a silly excuse to explain why you’re unable to be competitive.
How can you look at college admissions,working with public sector workers,watching current TV programming you’d infer you race is being subjected to discrimination? Sounds like a lazy philosophical perspective.
I always roll my eyes when these people with even lighter skin than me constantly remind people that they are a "person of color" and that they are oppressed. How exactly are people "oppressing" you if they don't even know you're non-white unless you tell them?
@@chrissmurray255 The sentence “only one white Jewish professor moved to the Western ward of Newark, supposedly one of the worst, bought a house, and lived in the community…” is correct-the western ward does outpace other school districts for low scores.

The fact that Thomas Sowell was not the first black man to ever win the Clark Medal for Economics tells you all you need to know about the bias of that organization.

Didn't she get about $900k when she resigned after a few months? Isn't she still an overpaid professor at Harvard? Some punishment!
In 2019, a series of investigations at Harvard determined that Fryer had engaged in "unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature" against at least five women, that he had fostered a hostile work environment in his lab, and also cited unspecified conduct violations regarding Fryer's grant spending and lab finances. As a result, Harvard suspended Fryer without pay for 2 years, closed his lab, and barred him from teaching or supervising students.
In 2021, Harvard allowed Fryer to return to teaching and research, although he remained barred from supervising graduate students for at least another 2 years. Fryer apologized for the "insensitive and inappropriate comments that led to my suspension".
@@DeontjieYou didn't watch the video
A wyte woman lied on him like Jonathon Majors and you pple are trying to blame Claudine? lol Mr Fryer thought Whyte pple were his friends well he found out the hard way that racism still exist no matter how hard he works and tries to deny it. Six people were on the committee but the author of the video only found out the two blck persons who were there, how convenient. 🙄
Unbelievable. I wish I could get everyone in America to watch this
Never heard this before, I'm in shock! I grew up in the 60's of integrity and adults who experienced WWII fight against fascism and communism, this is unacceptable.
I remember Mr. Fryer getting blasted for that police study. I admit that i was surprised by the data, but, admittedly, as a white 54 year old i was relieved. I was hoping the narrative would change. Sad, just sad.
This is an incredible film. And incredibly angering. It's a portrait of toxic cowardice and malice institutionalized and weaponized at the highest level.
…and it’s happening to a lot of good people, perhaps less high profile, but still worthy of merit. They are being replaced by what? I think we all know.

All the malice emerges from the fraught feverish effort to avoid admitting that black under-achievement is biologically determined.
@@dreamdiction You conveniently forget to mention systemically determined it has nothing to do with biology at all it’s purely systemic… Surely your intelligent enough to see that I’m sure…!!!!
@@dreamdiction No. Making that argument only adds fuel to the fire, and leads liberals to conclude that conservatives are racist and that everyone needs DEI training. So you are not helping the rest of us avoid DEI by spouting off, you are actually making it more likely that we will have to attend. That we and our children will be actively discriminated against during our careers, as is being done now. You may believe that it’s biologically determined, but that is a fringe opinion. We are all the products of nature (biology) vs nurture (environmental factors, culture, etc), but the latter is a bigger factor. Don’t give these people the ammunition they are looking for.
I received my MEd from Harvard in 1955. At that time the mission was to explore and understand the best way to educate ALL. Children and equip them to meet the challenges of life. Then they were unique in providing that kind of education. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HARVARD?
Now I am ashamed to be associated with an institution that has succumbed to the sponge.headed intellectuals who can not see past their nose!
What has happened to Harvard? Same thing going around at Disney HQ. Same thing going around on the blue side of Congress. Everyone is a victim...never their fault. They cannot help themselves. They need guilt-ridden, white, virtue-signaling liberals to save them. Look how that has worked out for blacks since 1960. When a culture does not prioritize God and Christian values, the family unit, and education, they are doomed.
Harvard, and all of the Ivy Leagues, gave that up in the 1960s, when they all stopped offering any significant merit-based scholarships, to preserve the purity of their football teams. (Some schools were awarding academic scholarships to good football players.)
As a wise man once said, "Everything woke turns to shit."
Mr Fryer would make an excellent President of Harvard,
What heart wrenching treatment of an exceptionally brilliant and good person!
Fascinating story! Today is January 3rd 2024…. And the president had to step down in a disgraceful manner. Karma has been served, albeit a bit late.
You never know when kamma will play out but it always does and if people knew this they would behave more ethically.
albeit for the wrong reason ?
She's still collecting close to one million annual salary, which she has earned for years. She could live comfortably for life on the interest.

Worked for Jordon Peterson
@@joeycottone7755 But now no one likes him
Hey Claudine: Karma!
"The soft porn of black pain" doesn't "do nothing for black children".
It ends up absolutely destroying many of them.
Exactly. & ironically, we know that making people believe they’re victims doesn’t work. In juvenile justice for example, we teach the exact opposite. We have to empower the kids to BELIEVE that their actions can change their lives. Can you imagine if we only harped on systemic racism? That’s not a good tool for bettering one’s life. The truth is that we’re all born with a wide variety of pros & cons, & one thing that’s for certain across the board: our life gets worse if we sit around focusing on the negative & feeling disempowered
The unfathomable hypocrisy and divisive, bordering on jealous behavior by those who feel threatened around individuals who excel, exactly like Roland, brought me here ❤❤❤
This was made a year ago? Its nice to see how well it has aged.
Well this certainly aged like the finest of wines...
Whooo buddy your work is coming in REAL clutch right now. Clauding Gay exposed right now.
That is EVIL.
Many talented and bright people are being overlooked because they do not follow partisan woke lines, instead being a critical thinker not a critical race theorist
Yeah, actually decently logical people never get the recognition or attention they deserve
Define "woke."
@@MiCajaDelIdiota basically boiling everything down to black and white identity and racial politics, things like your race or “gender” matter more then you as a person and your actual qualifications. Also, basically being entitled as hell and pointing fingers at everyone who disagrees with you, while saying you’re somehow smarter and more progressive then them.
@@MiCajaDelIdiotaSocial progressivism that prioritizes the appearance of action instead of real action. Do you really think that people can’t define wokeness?
@@IHADANERROR Well, Hic Rhodus, Hic Salta!, boasting traveler. Define it!
"Its not about beating the odds..... it's about changing the odds."
How prophetic this video is..
The gaslighting towards the black community is killing them.
We need him in charge of teaching children not college kids
The college kids are future teachers, journalists, social scientists etc. The rot we see now was implemented from the top
As a law school grad and master I know this is true, my obstacles in USA work opportunities, were my own "people or community".
Well, for Claudine Gay, what goes around comes around!
I can already see where this is going. In the war of ideas, to underacheivers, victim mentality will crush personal accountability and responsibility
I currently work for another Ivy institution and my experience has been very, very similar. I initially thought I was lucky to be taken in as an ' overqualified diversity hire', common in today's progressive agenda - but the underlying motive in place is to hinder above average BIPOC and stunt their career progression in order to make way for... preferred candidates, even if they're less qualified, by way of obstruction and gatekeeping. This, in turn, aids to a nationalist race-based agenda that encourages nepotism and actively discourages BIPOC from contributing to society. Those in power are not interested in the 'advancements' that unconventional undesirables seek to make, and it's downright criminal that these prestigious institutions serve as safe havens for highly arrogant intellectuals who see themselves as protectors of such an ideology. The final words of this video resonate heavily with me, thank you Roland. This is America, today.
It's not a "race-based agenda"; it's a Communist one. Asian and white boys get no fair treatment at all. Blacks get breaks -- as long as they're willing to go along with the Communist program. The form of Communism now isn't class vs. class, but identity group vs. identity group, all with the goal of destroying the traditional family and sane relations between the sexes, and putting in place a top-down planned economy with the World Economic Forum at the helm, and everyone else who doesn't want to play ball with them at the bottom -- living in pods, eating bugs instead of meat, owning nothing.
Im not sure this makes sense. Are you saying that as an "overqualified minority" you are an exception? Does that mean you have license to be unprofessional as Fryer obviously was? Im not sure married with kids tenured professionals should be flirting with subordinates in emails or really anywhere.
Over qualified does not mean "White" as "The Old People" would say. There simply is no where in the US that is a racial "level playing field". I bet Fryer's grandmother probably mentioned this a couple times to him.
@@stanleycross6000 In my opinion, the work he was doing was probably more important than any "flirting". You hear the other assistant saying the accuser was having a good time and laughing at the time and only later said there was a problem to get revenge. There are many civil rights leaders from the past whose personal behavior has been called into question. Do we ignore their messages and cancel them?
What seems more sinister to me is that he was supposed to be "lectured" on his inappropriate behavior and instead, they cancelled the actual work he was doing. His accusers never said his work was wrong so why was that part of the punishment? Bobo and Gay just felt threatened by his findings so they cancelled him. Much, much worse than flirting, again, in my opinion.
@@DC-cw8mp Noted.
But knowing his wife teaches at the the same Institution and knowing how important some consider his work...It makes me wonder about how important HE took his work and reputation.
@@DC-cw8mp BUt wE muST bELievE All wOMen!
Aaahhh, this is aging like a fine wine.
Oh…. CZcams recommendations gave a solid nugget. I heard of this scandal, but only in passing. Can’t wait to see the more in depth info. Also, glad to see Harvard is reaping what they sowed.
Shameful but not surprising. I long ago lost respect for elite educational institutions. Cowards and liars.
My gosh, if that counts as sexual harassment then I've been harassed at every workforce I've ever worked at where my coworkers made crass or sex-minded jokes towards me. Like if these simple words are enough to ruin people's careers, can we really call this country free?
It’s not, not anymore. The days of actually having freedom from the government knowing everything about you and being subject to a certain code of ethics otherwise risking being cancelled is over
Agree! I had a colleague make a mildly off-color joke and I had taken no offense. I'm an adult. But within 3 days I received a verbal and email apology. He was apologizing profusely and hoped that I was not offended at the "inappropriate" remark (which wasn't even directed at me.) I found the email and direct apology a little disturbing because nothing said rose to the level of the need for an apology. I guess he felt the need to "self-censor" which I found to be rather sd.
The Black community seems to have been blessed with a Renaissance of brilliant speakers and professional minds which are being systematically canceled while the same White Liberals that Malcolm X warned against, use other blacks that either don't know or don't mind being used as tools. I don't believe that our Creator will allow these low brow, venal people to prevail over the people of enlightenment. Thank you for this story.
I’ll say it again , Gay getting in trouble couldn’t have happened to a better DEI hire!!
It is good that his wife is still supporting him and trustworthy
Thanks for condensing the Fryer story into a coherent, intellectually inspiring curiosity. I now want to understand more about this Man’s powerful work. It certainly influenced fellow black professors to seek his demise. As he would say, there is truth. He found truth. He’s been exiled to the Harvard gulag for his sins in favor of the truth. We look forward to your Fryer Part 2.
i came here after listening to Ross Russell's recent econtalk interview with fryer. very inspirational.
Now that Harvard has purged the cancer of Claudine Gay, the only REAL justice would be to appoint Roland as Harvard's new President...
She’s not purged. She’s still there with a voice as a professor teaching classes. And she’s still entitled to her $900,000 / yr salary. Her removal as president really doesn’t amount to much considering the above.
In the aftermath of Claudine Gay's resignation from Harvard it's nice to witness a calm, seemingly unrelated story, with a renewed germane and visceral message relating to the conduct within the institutions we perceive as the standard for impartial research and ingenuity. That being said, it is misleading to categorize individuals as "in the wrong" or "in the right" and presenting it as factual without the emphasis on perspective. Additionally, some statements throughout the video felt abstract or without support.
I didn't even intend on watching the whole thing but I got hooked. This was really well made. I can't believe this channel doesn't have more subscribers
These institutions have destroyed themselves with this behavior. Disgusting
They haven't destroyed themselves, because the rot is now so pervasive and deep in academia over the past forty years that most faculty cover each other's asses, and go with the DEI victimhood narrative. They'll just " re-arrange the chairs". There's money to be made, as well as political power. And these universities have deep, deep pockets. For example, Harvard has a $ fifty billion dollar $ endowment.
The frightening reality is how she made it through the vetting process.
He collapsed the scaffolding that supported the grievance industry’s fiefdom.
this hasn't aged well for Claudine.
Came here after watching Glen. God what a terrible thing to do to man. This guy is a year younger to be and has done things I could not have imagined myself doing.
I hope all of black America learns of this man and his work. He’s proven what we all know but cannot say for fears of being called racist. That what’s plagued black America is themselves.
I’ve just learned about this man through Matt Walsh and I agree with you. I’m a black man from a latin american country and I’m no stranger to being called "white" by black Americans simply for not assimilating to their culture and not a stranger to being referred to as an oreo by white Americans. I’ve discovered a lot of good things on youtube but discovering Roland Fryer tonight has been the greatest thing I’ve discovered on this medium. I can’t wait to go down this rabbit-hole.
Themselves, okay, but don’t forget the role of the US federal government. They have deliberately created a dependent underclass and the travesty is black Americans were making enormous progress in the first half of the 20th century. It was basically nuked by the Great Society, to D.C.’s eternal shame.
How about the sponsors? See Malcolm X on these lib types
You are not white brother. You are a man of color not sipping the lie of a culture created to put us down.@BxChef.207
How dare she pull the race and minority card and said genocide of jews is a matter of context is really appaling. She should be fire as faculty also
She has set true academic progress behind by decades
With President Gay’s resignation, let me say it. THERE NEEDS TO BE a Congressional investigation into Ivy League destruction of talented black folks! Like Freyer.
How about talented folks in general regardless of skin color. Enforce the qualifications of the individual, not the amount of boxes checked for that individual. You guys can’t achieve it because of affirmative action. Qualified people regardless of skin color. If an individual doesn’t qualify the next person should be interviewed. Filling spots because you have a certain skin color is racism and supremacy. The days of quotas being filled with less than qualified people is coming to an end. I like a lot of what Lowry says and represents but at times he falls under that label of ‘racist-racism’ he applies to white liberals.
Listen to Thomas Sowell. Matter of fact realism.
Fryer!
It’s not just black people. It’s anyone who threatens orthodoxy. These institutions are filled with hegemonic ideological cancer.
@@rjlovell1I agree, it is an achievement for a black person to do this especially due to how the stigma is around doing well, but the left uses this to the extreme where identity is all that matters
DEI initiatives are basically just a power grab. Theres no further thought to it.
Doesnt matter if your black, white, or brown, if your not in their club, your not "diverse"
I know he’s an economist but I’d nominate that dude for Education Secretary. He’s our generation’s Thomas Sowell.
I don’t understand why we let this happen to people who genuinely want to make a positive impact, i gotta hear more from him, he’s trying to cut out the bullshit and just get to the facts, whether it’s what people want to hear or not, truth is his mission, not an agenda, we need more Roland fryer’s and we need more of Roland fryer in the public eye
That curve, of having friends until you get to the higher grades, is probably true of ALL races. How many "school swots" were openly ridiculed, whether black, brown, white or yellow?
Dr. Roland Fryer for President! We need more people like him in the highest echelons of society.
Impossible
This was eerie to watch considering the hearing about anti-semitism in Harvard and Claudia Gays "It depends on the context" comment. The ideological rot is deep...
And her cheating. Plagurizing her work is grounds for losing her degrees and credentials and her job
Roland Fryer for President Harvard's university, fired because not enough woke !
Wikipedia had one paragraph going over some of what he has accomplished and then two paragraphs discrediting him, how predictable.
By the time I met Roland (jr in high school), he was excelling in high school and the Texas DECA club president. I attended several conferences and seminars with Roland, and he was always on point. Extremely intelligent, and had a vision beyond any of us high school kids. I was sad to hear about his challenges, but exited and in awe of his achievements. Go Ro!!!!
