Eric Stewart: The Jussie Smollett of Academia

[Steeltime]

A professor at Florida State University (one of wife's amla maters) has been fired for doctoring and faking data that supposedly showed a tendency towards increased punishment when the population had increased numbers of minority residents. In actuality, the data proved THE OPPOSITE. A co-author of some of the now-retracted studies explained:

This report presents the findings from my reanalysis, which suggest that the sample was not just duplicated. The data were also altered—intentionally or unintentionally—in other ways, and those alterations produced the article’s main findings. Additionally, we misreported data characteristics as well as aspects of our analysis and findings, and we failed to report the use of imputation for missing data. The following eight findings emerged from my reanalysis: 1) The article reports 1,184 respondents, but actually there are 500. 2) The article reports 91 counties, but actually there are 326. 3) The article describes respondents that differ substantially from those in the data. 4) The article reports two significant interaction effects, but actually there are none. 5) The article reports the effect of Hispanic growth is significant and positive, but actually it is non-significant and negative. 6) The article reports many other findings that do not exist in the data. 7) The standard errors are stable in our published article, but not in the actual data or in articles published by other authors using similar modeling techniques with large samples. 8) Although never mentioned in the article, 208 of the 500 respondents in the data (or 42%) have imputed values.

Uh-oh ... the data cited shows the opposite claimed

So these articles, published over a span of more than a decade and showing supposed racism in criminal sentencing, are fabrications and the data actually show THE OPPOSITE of what was claimed. This article explains the situation:

Phony research about racism in sentencing

Racism ... so prevalent in America, we have to invent racism where none exists!!

A huge part of the democrat platform is to keep racism alive and push division no matter what.

That party would collapse if it couldn't push hate and division 24/7.

People need to stop listening to these ********.
