“Systematic racism” narrative suffers huge blow - academic fraud revealed

[Raze]

Eric Stewart was a rockstar criminology professor, whose scientific studies have been spread far and wide by the media as scientific proof of systematic racism.

Some examples of his findings were that the legacy of lynchings made whites perceive blacks as criminals, and that the problem was worse among conservatives and whites wanted longer sentences for blacks and Latinos.

Quote

Stewart was a widely-cited scholar, with north of 8,500 citations by other researchers, according to Google Scholar — a measure of his clout as an academic.

He was vice president and fellow at the American Society of Criminology, who honored him as one of four highly distinguished criminologists in 2017. 

He was also a W.E.B. DuBois fellow at the National Institute of Justice.

The professor received north of $3.5 million in grant support from major organizations and taxpayer-funded entities

The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, the National Science Foundation, which is an arm of the federal government, and the National Institute of Justice, which is run by the Department of Justice, have all funneled money into research Stewart presided over.

The National Institute of Mental Health, a branch of the NIH, poured $3.2 million into research on how African Americans transition into adulthood. 

Stewart presided over that initiative as co-principal investigator from 2007 to 2012.

Meanwhile, he reportedly raked in a $190,000 annual salary at FSU, a public university. 

While there he served on the school’s diversity, promotion and tenure committees, giving him a say over who got ahead on campus.

However, six of his studies have been retracted and he just got fired for extreme negligence. Apparently he was massively faking or fudging data, calling into question all his research.

When the investigation into Stewart began in 2020, he claimed he was the victim and that Pickett “essentially lynched me and my academic character.”

 

What is your opinion on this event? Should we continue to trust scientists for political matters?

That's a hard one. Systemic racism does exist. It goes under a different name in particle physics called path dependency. 

 

The effect is probably there somewhere. The problem with any science, especially social sciences, is that the data never is that reliable.

 

That's basically what the reproducibility crisis in medicine and the social sciences are.

 

I think it goes both ways. His data was normally not so accurate (like most social studies). He was also caught in a much larger witch hunt. You'll be pressed to find that a lot of social sciences professors are going to get wiped out over the next years.

Scientists are the politicans, in current paradigm you can only justify one matter via science there is no alternative, and of course it's not going to be your science. It will be corporate science.

So trust with your own risk. Anyways sorry for the rant
