Scholar forced to resign over study that found police shootings not biased against blacks

By: Brittany Slaughter – Liberty University, College Fix, June 30, 2020

Michigan State University leaders have successfully pressured Stephen Hsu to resign from his position as vice president of research and innovation after the Graduate Employees Union launched a campaign to oust him from his role.

This came after the union, which represents teaching and research assistants, crawled through years of blog posts and interviews Hsu had conducted and criticized him for sharing content on genetic differences among different races.

But the main thrust to oust Hsu came because the professor touted Michigan State research that found police are not more likely to shoot African-Americans.

“The victory of the Twitter mob will likely have a chilling effect on academic freedom on campus,” Hsu told The College Fix via email.

The union had taken advantage of a Black Lives Matter-linked #ShutDownStem day on June 10 to help oust him. Hsu stepped down from his vice president role on June 19 after pressure from the union and the president of the university, Samuel Stanley. Hsu will stay on as a physics professor at Michigan State, however.

The union also circulated a petition against Hsu that accused him of “scientific racism” that garnered over 800 signers. An open letter signed by more than 500 faculty and staff at Michigan State argued Hsu supports the idea that intelligence is linked to genetics.

A counter-petition in support of Hsu has gained more than 1,000 signers, including many fellow professors from across the country.

“To remove Hsu for holding controversial views, or for inquiring about controversial topics, or for simply talking to controversial personalities … would also set a dangerous precedent, inconsistent with the fundamental principles of modern enlightened higher education,” it read.

As for the claim of “scientific racism,” Hsu rejected that on his personal website, stating “I believe that basic human rights and human dignity derive from our shared humanity, not from uniformity in ability or genetic makeup.”

But a leader with the graduate student union said that there were multiple factors that led to Hsu’s removal, including people who disagreed with Hsu not feeling they were able to state their concerns for fear of backlash.

“Once we started the dialogue, dozens of people approached us with personal stories of their own attempts to speak out and their own experiences with Hsu, and hundreds signed on calling for his removal,” Graduate Employees Union Vice President Acacia Ackles told The College Fix.

The union has also criticized Hsu’s promotion of a study that found there is no racial bias in police shootings.

“We found that the race of the officer doesn’t matter when it comes to predicting whether black or white citizens are shot,” according to the Michigan State-based research Hsu had quoted that drew the ire of many.

Hsu said that the attacks against him are baseless.

“The GEU alleged that I am a racist because I interviewed MSU Psychology professor Joe Cesario, who studies police shootings,” he wrote in an email to The College Fix. “But Cesario’s work (along with similar work by others, such as Roland Fryer at Harvard) is essential to understanding deadly force and how to improve policing.”

Cesario is the Michigan State psychology professor who co-authored the study published July 2019 that debunked the notion that police are more likely to shoot African-Americans. Hsu wrote on his blog that the paper concluded “there is no widespread racial bias in police shooting.” Professor Cesario received a small amount of funding for his research under Hsu’s leadership.

Cesario pointed out to The Wall Street Journal “we had no idea what the data was going to be, what the outcome was going to be, before we did this study.”

Cesario’s research had been cited in a widely shared Wall Street Journal op-ed headlined “The Myth of Systemic Police Racism” that was published June 3 amid racially charged protests against the death of George Floyd in police custody.

The “MSU communications team highlighted the mention in the June 9 edition of their email newsletter, InsideMSU. The next day, the Graduate Employees Union denounced Mr. Hsu. By June 11, editors of the newsletter had apologized ‘for including the item and for the harm it caused,’” the Journal reports……..

Several years ago, BART ceased releasing video footage of violent crime committed, due to it “perpetuating racial stereotypes.

No, the poeleese department is doing the same ….

San Francisco police will stop releasing the mug shots of people who have been arrested, as part of an effort to stop perpetuating racial stereotypes, the city’s police chief announced Wednesday.

same in denver. the local media has refused for years to show a photo or describe the perps involved in the crime war that erupts throughout the denver area every night. the reason is that nearly all the perps are mexicans, blacks, and muslims. the only description we get is that the “alleged” criminal was wearing a light colored jacket.

As soon as you hear about a crime and race is omitted, you know what it is.Then they’ll ask you to call in tips on some general description. Or if they arrested someone and know their name, they will drag their feet to avoid releasing it . In that situation it is typically a Muslim. If it is a white person, nearly everything about the person is released and they try to make the person a white supremacist or a Trump supporter. It’s so predictable.

No. It seems as if something MUST be done about it.

How many white people are murdered by blacks, versus black people murdered by whites? It approximates THIRTEEN to ONE.

Face it, blacks are hunting whites down and murdering them on the street, or in their very own homes.

Lest we not forget violent crime …

On almost every occasion in a city newspaper we see the mugshot of Toronto’s – or Canada’s – latest murderer or man charged with murder, they are black and invariably their victim is black, but let’s all pretend that the murders they committed and their arrest is a result of anti-black racism. Let’s all pretend that after many blacks fall out of school and don’t qualify for good paying jobs, this is a result of anti-black racism. Only a mental retard of political correctness lunatic swallow believes such nonsense.

At least most of your murders, committed by blacks, are black-on-black.

Pity any person of East Asian descent living in the SF Bay area, where OVER 75% of ALL violent crime is black on East Asian.

Perfect Paperback $300.92
7 Used from $120.00

It’s only 380 pages first published on June 6, 2008. They are pricing it so most people won’t be buying the book and that keeps most people ignornat. I’ve seen this tactic used many times to keep people from buying books presenting FACTS about ISSUES.

https://www.amazon.com/Global-Bell-Curve-Inequality-Worldwide/dp/1593680287/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Y4CS4PYB0JPT&dchild=1&keywords=the+bell+shaped+curve&qid=1593620702&s=books&sprefix=the+bell+shaped+curve%2Caps%2C156&sr=1-1

Richard Lynn s new book shows that in many multi-racial countries, people of Jewish and East Asian ancestry average highest in IQ and socio-economic position, Whites next highest, South Asians and Hispanics next highest, and people of African descent consistently average at lower levels. Lynn argues that the average population group differences in socio-economic position (education levels, earnings, welfare dependency) are due to their average differences in intelligence. Since these differences also translate into fertility patterns, with the lowest IQ populations having more children, the specter of a dysgenic future is raised. Altogether the issues are discussed separately across 13 countries or areas of the world: the United States, Africa, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Latin America, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.

That is the way it is in the military.. If your IQ is not above that you don’t get in and it doesn’t matter if you are NOT black.

Why is this so shocking? You can’t have an imbecile in there. Lives are at stake and you depend on one another to have your back in life threatening situations. . Would you want an imbecile looking out for your life?

You forget the standard deviations in these populations. Whites have the largest SD though not the largest mean. The result is that above IQ 136 or so, Whites start outnumbering everyone else. Above 160, it’s almost all Whites.

Speech and thought must be crushed as we transition away from our foundings. We must all think and feel the same way so competing thoughts and views must not be allowed in any form. We can’t allow freedom of opinion so ALL statues that the Marxists disagree with must come down. We are required to sympathize with their grievences – real or imagined! You can not disagree for any reason – even if it is to simply let history stand regardless of feelings and learn from it. No, it must all be erased! Hatred of our country must dominate!

When you are fed enough garbage it becomes a part of you! If someone is constantly swearing and you are constantly with that person, you will most likely become like than person too! It’s the same thing going on with speech and what you have access to in print or other media. It’s brainwashing. In schools they indoctrinate.

An open letter signed by more than 500 faculty and staff at Michigan State argued Hsu supports the idea that intelligence is linked to genetics.

So? Oh, is that a “racist” concept? If so, why?

I don’t think it is even controversial that other characteristics are distributed differently among different races.

Personally, I don’t think Asians or any race is smarter than another biologically.

As Bill O’Rielly once pointed out, Asians statistically can earn higher income because the value of education is hard wired into the CULTURE. I think it’s the same for Jews. this destroys the “white privilege” argument of the left too.

That being said, if someone has controversial research, banning them rather than REBUTTING them with your own research is facist.

A couple years ago, my sister accused me of being racist because I posted articles about crimes on my FB page. She said I mostly posted about black criminals. After I stopped laughing, I told her thank you for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed more blacks were committing crimes than whites. I only shared violent crimes that really angered me.
