Roland Fryer is just a normal guy who wants to do the right thing. His work, morals, and ethics should be praised. A man to aspire to be.

A university shouldn't have a narrative.

This guy should be the president of Harvard now. Bring the college integrity back.

The truth clearly hurts. Thanks for making this available, team, and thanks Roland for providing such valuable insight and research.

Love this guy. Love the fact he refuses to lie.

I’m often saddened by things I see people do. It’s quite refreshing to see a smart and honest man do the work and stand up.

I remember reading about a study done by a couple of statistics experts who collected a whole lot of data about police doing traffic stops in a region where accusations of racial profiling were rife. They actually set out to prove the police were racist. The results showed the police did in fact pull black people over more often, but they found they also pulled black people over more often at night when they couldnt possibly have known the race of the driver. The data showed the bias was caused by black people breaking traffic laws more often and attracting more attention to themselves. So the narrative about racist police was driven by emotion and not data. That is a huge issue because if you dont want to be accurate about the nature of the problem you will never get an accurate solution that works.

Destroys the victim ideology. Well Done.

“Why don’t academics care enough about pursuing the truth?” I think history shows that people would rather be popular than right.

I could listen to this guy all day. Hes kind, patient, intuitive, steady, and has such a pleasant way of putting things.

Great interview. I've heard about Roland Fryer and his study and am impressed. Intelligence, integrity & humor.

My PhD was on the US South. Before I submitted, both of my examiners told me that if I left in the fact that there was parity between blacks and whites when discussing poverty, 'other Universities will not want me in the future'. I stated that it was 100% provable and all the stats since the 1970s prove it. They replied, that it doesn't matter, it's not the narrative universities want or supply funding for. I walked away from academia as soon as I got my Doctorate; with the stats left in. It's all a rip off. Making black folk feel they're still oppressed is big business for select white groups.

It should be a requirement for all our Professors to be like this man.

He's passionate, smart, and sincere about helping people. Top man!

Roland Fryer should be added to Trigonometry as one of your interviewers. He is an incredibly intelligent and well spoken individual. I love how he can challenge a thought with the sincere desire to understand a different perspective. Well done sir!

Just a reasonable, wise, and admirable intellectual. I wish all professors thought like this man. Im probably not alone in this but I would love to have a beer with him.

A Harvard Professor with integrity. Bravo!

It's very telling that the response to Roland's work from BLM wasn't: "Thank god we were very concerned about police fatalities, this is fantastic news"

I have done ride alongs in my city, at night. I purposefully chose to do the ride along in my district to understand the issues in my own backyard. It was hugely enlightening. The skills officers use, the issues officers encounter, and the split second decisions police must make are mind blowing. Do a ride along, at night, before you judge officers too harshly.
