Even in the diversity industry, white males keep bobbing to the top.
For example, at MIT, the top name listed on its Diversity Equity Inclusion website as the Head Caucasian in Charge Institute Community and Equity Officer is physicist Edmund Bertschinger.
INTUITIVELY OBVIOUS: Our white privilege
Understanding privilege will help us combat inequality in our community
By Edmund Bertschinger and Ruth Perry
December 9, 2014
… Black Americans live in a parallel universe to the one we, a white woman and a white man, live in. This parallel universe is a murderous regime, in which black people are killed with impunity; there is apparently no accountability for white men who wear police uniforms. …
Oops, not part of Bertschinger’s oped.
The first thing both of us thought of when Michael Brown was slain was the vulnerability of young African Americans. …
We white people cannot continue to live in our insulated safe parallel universe unconscious of this brutality and lawlessness without trying to stop it.
… Does no one care about what is lawful and what is not anymore? It is bad enough that the wealthy get away without paying their share of taxes and that armed white Texans can face down federal law enforcement officers with seeming impunity. …
Edmund Bertschinger is a Professor of Physics and Institute Community and Equity Officer, and Ruth Perry is Ann Fetter Friedlaender Professor of the Humanities
Not to be outdone, Google’s diversity efforts are headed by former U-boat captain TV actor Laszlo Bock.
P.S. A reader points out that Professor Bertschinger appears to commute to MIT from a town that’s only about 3% black or Hispanic and his son graduated from a public high school less than 5% Non-Asian Minority, an unusually low figure in this decade in a major metropolitan area. The Bertschinger family’s level of white privilege doesn’t come cheap, usually.
Well, now at least I know how Ta Nehisi Coates got his job teaching Creative Writing at MIT.
This makes me really sad. Someone smart enough to be at MIT can believe this stuff. It’s not like he doesn’t have other career options like some black woman with an afro and an IQ of 105.
What percent of black women have an IQ of 105?
I’m sorry, but that article by the head of the Physics Department and the Professor from the English Department at MIT is just awash with lulz. A few quotes:
The second thing he should have thought of was, "A white kid or an Asian kid or Hispanic kid asked by a policeman to move out of the middle of the street where he was holding up traffic would have done so."
The third thing he should have thought of was, "A white kid or Asian kid or Hispanic kid wouldn't have thrown his fat azz body into the cop car and tried to take the cop's firearm and tried to shoot him."
The fourth thing he should have thought of was, "Dumb kid, likely high as a kite."
The fifth thing he should have thought of was, "Black neighborhood where this all went down--gonna be a lot of lying about what happened and the black grievance industry heads will be there in a few minutes."
Last thing: " Glad it was the kid and not the cop who died."
The other of us thought first of black students at MIT, brilliant young people, many of whom look like Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin"
The first thing I thought of when Michael Brown was slain was that, if Barack Obama had a son, he would look just like Michael Brown.

One can’t help but think a more mature Sheldon Cooper wrote this
The fictional character known as Sheldon Cooper is suppose to be from Texas a.k.a the land of evil racist White people in the eyes of the Left. That would explain his politically incorrect interaction with that Black woman.
I guess MIT propeller-heads really ARE out of touch. Or (more likely) Cambridge. Black folks live in “parallel universes”, huh? Something tells me that Henry Louis Gates (from across town) has never been over to his house for dinner.
I learned in high school that parallel lines never meet. I am sure the same principle applies to parallel universes. The reason that the professor has never had Henry Louis Gates over to dinner is because the professor is at MIT and Gates is at Harvard. It has nothing to do with the fact that Gates is black.
You guys keep up the snark.

Social Justice Bullies can destroy Edmund’s career in 30 seconds flat, should he make the slightest slip on that slope. He’s old enough to know better than to believe any of the stuff he is parroting – and has had some life experience, even if it’s been in the ivory tower. Maybe even especially because of having entered the ivory tower in an era when meritocracy mattered and everyone knew it. He is probably from the bottom of the barrel and was also a weak-kneed go-along to get-along sort that populated the university in small numbers before affirmative action came along and buoyed his kind’s prospects. He is merely grateful.

Excellent observation. Deception handling has becoming so prevalent that it is becoming institutionalized — in academia, the government, even industry. Take “global warming -> climate change” for example.

That was enraging, ugh. Meanwhile there’s an interesting discussion between SJWs and other students if you follow the link to ‘I saw you at MIT’
http://isawyou.mit.edu/post.php?id=10667
Here’s part of one of many angry responses to a pretty good takedown of SJW philosophy (comment #7), in this case defending black violence because the people “cannot express themselves in an eloquent way”:
“african-american communities tend to be undereducated and insecure. combine those two together and you get a group of people that has MUCH difficulty expressing their feelings in an eloquent way. blacks are well aware of their lower position on the societal totem, and those who don’t have the means or insight to do something about it in a constructive way have no choice but to channel their pent-up frustration through violence. if you can’t see any truth in this statement, please do not bother reading on.
the saddest thing is that (supposedly) educated beings like poster 7 and many others born into higher social standing expect the african-american community to mount a coherent, nonviolent response before deeming them worthy of attention. “if there is another MLKjr, of course we’ll listen!” you say enthusiastically. do you see how foolish this sounds? instead of asking the deeper “why?”, you only see the violence and looting on the surface and disregard this concerns of this population entirely. you trivialize these people as chimps…niggers…violent animals, and don’t give it any other thought. because they are violent, they don’t deserve to be heard, you say. this is racism in its most subtle and insidious form.
you have to realize that these communities aren’t equipped to mount a “socially acceptable” response for you. ignorance and undereducation is rampant, and children who are born into that situation will only perpetuate the cycle. they are HELPLESS to it, and it takes an outsider with bigger insight and heart (which most MIT students lack apparently, judging by the response here) to extend a hand to these people. “
Yes, if the Left fosters freedom for aggression (and it does!), it’s fair to characterize it as a movement of misanthropy.
Speaking of movement, as I have explained, the Right is the party of order, and the Left is the party of movement. The “movement” may be viewed as aggression or, as Ted Sallis has pointed out, entropy.
Entropy taken to its extreme, means the end of all life. Living things are called “organisms”, after all.
Prof. Bertschinger wouldn’t really even have to go that far out of his comfort zone to find out how wildly out of touch he is–because The New Yorker has a relatively even-handed profile of Darren Wilson this week:

“It’s not like he doesn’t have other career options like some black woman with an afro and an IQ of 105.”
What percent of black women have an IQ of 105?
If we recast "105" to mean 1/3 standard deviation above the white male mean, and IQ to "g" (technically in this case the 1st principal component of the ASVAB tests set to mean 100 s.d. 15), and measure during early adulthood, e.g. age 22 , then according to this paper:
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/234111868_Intellectual_Growth_during_Late_Adolescence_Effects_of_Sex_and_Race
white men age 22 have an average g-score of 111.6 with an s.d. of 13.7, n=536 (+1/3 s.d. = 116.17)
black women have an average g-score of 91 with an s.d. of 11.1, n=166
plugging that into a spreadsheet (=1-NORMDIST(116.17; 91; 11.1; 1)), 1.17% of Black women are more than 1/3 s.d. above the White male mean. compared to 36.9% of White men, with a ratio between the two of 31.5, and considering the white male population is about 7 times the size of the black population, there are about 220 times as many White men as Black women with that level of intelligence or greater.

Then why don’t you move into a more vibrant area of Boston and make a difference? I am so tired of folks saying stuff like this who live in areas that are 95+% white.
“One can’t help but think a more mature Sheldon Cooper wrote this ;-)”
The fictional character known as Sheldon Cooper is suppose to be from Texas a.k.a the land of evil racist White people in the eyes of the Left. That would explain his politically incorrect interaction with that Black woman.
The MIT guy is an astronomy dude that studies ‘Black energy and Black matter’; so he was the perfect dude for the job. (Is that snarky enough?)
HCIC Bertschinger . . . ranting about parallel universes. Lol too funny to be sad.
Plenty of people with high IQs believe crazy things. Look at the history of Marxism.
“Then why don’t you move into a more vibrant area of Boston and make a difference? I am so tired of folks saying stuff like this who live in areas that are 95+% white.”
Or Arthur Chu the Chinaman who claims to have been racially discriminated against by White people his entire life. Yet he chooses to live in a very affluent suburb of Cleveland where a whopping 91 percent of the population is White. Why doesn’t he live in the actual city limits of 53 percent Black Cleveland if White people are so racist? Or Arthur Chu can move to 93 percent Black East Cleveland if he wants to escape all of the supposed racism he experiences from White people on a daily basis.
Does Arthur Chu see White racists who supposedly racially oppress him as the lesser of 2 evils compared to ghetto urban inner city Blacks who are way more likely to beat him up or even murder him? In the U.S Blacks on average are way more likely than Whites to commit interracial violence towards Asians.
We Whites are the only oppressors on the planet that people actually want to live in close proximity to rather than want to live as far away from us as possible.
If I’m the first to post this then the sense of accomplishment will be overwhelming!
Do any of his students look like Hannah Graham or Eve Carson……..or, well that endless list?
Isn’t this a case of: “It is hard to get someone to disbelieve something when his income/position depends on believing it.”
“I guess MIT propeller-heads really ARE out of touch. Or (more likely) Cambridge. Black folks live in “parallel universes”, huh? Something tells me that Henry Louis Gates (from across town) has never been over to his house for dinner.”
I learned in high school that parallel lines never meet. I am sure the same principle applies to parallel universes. The reason that the professor has never had Henry Louis Gates over to dinner is because the professor is at MIT and Gates is at Harvard. It has nothing to do with the fact that Gates is black.

The first thing I thought of when Michael Brown was slain was that, if Barack Obama had a son, he would look just like Michael Brown.
A lot of the smart people who believe in Marxism are social science types, so they’re not that smart. Not many big time physicists are SJWs. I think that’s especially true now that there’s the Internet, and five seconds of searching race and IQ can clear up any delusions.
INTUITIVELY OBVIOUS–BLACK LAWLESSNESS & WHITE PANDERING.
It is very sad to see these professionals sell their soul and tell all these lies just to make a few extra bucks moonlighting as “diversity officers.” I am sure the University hired them for this job, and told them that their mission is to carry out this sort of propaganda. Maybe those who hired him actually wrote these lies for him and ordered him to post it or send out an email under his name.
Interestingly, in talking about lawlessness, he forgot to mention the most lawless man of the year, nay, the decade, Bill Cosby, a black serial rapist who sexually assaulted almost 30+ white women.
Is he or she Jewish?
Sad case.
A tenured prof at MIT probably has a great deal of latitude of action. He would not be forced to take the job of "diversity officer". Not yet, anyway. This guy is probably a true believer. I mean, a true believer in so far as it entails mouthing all that BS, not in terms of actually living in a racially diverse neighborhood, sending his kids to a diverse school, or anything like that.
We have a winner. Check out Dr. Bertschinger’s copious publication history:

Clearly a giant in the field.
Edmund Bertschinger CV
There are several dozen refereed publications, as one would expect of a full professor at a top research university.
MIT does still have standards. Professor Bertschinger is just dedicated to the goal of eroding them.
The problem with pandering to Diversity, which is basically “GoodWhite Uplift” per Derbyshire, is that the lies pervade so deeply and the personnel are so badly polluted by lies that institutions become ineffective.
MIT is stacked with non-Whites males? Maybe 80% are non-White males? No wonder MIT has not produced nor will it EVER produce anything of value or interest in years. Its like stacking the LA Lakers with White guys. Sure Kevin Love will be competitive. But … Vlade Divac? Really?
Bottom line, if you want anything done that requires brainpower, instead of testosterone driven aggression and macho posturing, or grievance mongering, you need White Men. No other group produce anything. Though you might make an exception for Japanese men, but only in Japan.

99% of white Americans live in a parallel universe to these MIT professors. As for the rich not paying their fair share of taxes, I agree and we should start with fantastically wealthy universities like MIT which are now tax exempt. Let us tax the yearly gains on their endowments.

I think two important reasons why high IQ people often believe stupid stuff are:
1. low self-esteem
2. lack of real world experience
Correct these two factors and high IQ people are more likely to realise their potential to become intelligent realists.
The liberal idea of boosting self-esteem in high schools for example actually has some merit, but it’s focusing on the wrong people. It should focus on guilty white liberals with high levels of neuroticism. Similarly, sentimental liberals and smug libertarians should have to spend at least one year of their lives doing a working class job and living in a working class neighbourhood. That will help make them more aware about issues such as crime, immigration and urban planning blunders.

Assuming average IQ of 85, and a standard Gasussian distribution, about 5% are 105 or higher.

Those with Asperger’s tend to have a naive faith in logic and truth. Seems like that would lead you to accept HBD, not become a SJW. It’s probably the opposite of Asperger’s. This guy is deluding himself to be cool like everyone else.
After spending most of my life wondering what the hell is wrong with blacks, I now wonder what is wrong with whites. Two clear cases of self defense again black aggression (most likely racially motivated aggression at that) and yet the blacks are the victims?
Will an increasingly Hispanic, Asian and Middle Eastern US respond the same way to blacks? Or will they respond with racialism of their own?
It seems that female MMA fighter Ronda Rousey is being attacked for not wanting to get in the ring with a Transwoman (AKA, a man):
Yeah, off topic, but I feel compelled to comment none the less. I used to be a casual UFC fan about seven years ago and my interest pretty much peaked with Brock Lesnar’s brief reign as heavyweight champ. Since then, it seems like Dana White bet the ranch on women fighters, and the ever-leftifying sports media have doubled down. The only time I hear anyone (ESPN, local sports radio, random dude bros) talking UFC, it’s all Rousey all the time. This has completely alienated me as a casual fan. The only thing I care less about than women fighters is Project Runway. That said, I’m only one data point.
Is this strategy working out well for UFC? Are more people ordering up pay per view? Or is it all an attempt to halt the decline? Is it a last ditch attempt to generate hype/relevance?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A-OwudpYiM
The UFC has been pursuing the strategy of promoting the brand rather than the individual fighters, and it has become increasingly clear that the strategy is a failure. People don't respond to brands - they respond to compelling fighters, whether because of their domination, hype or both. It is also desperately trying to transition from the PPV model to the network model, and has had mixed success at best. There appears to be an oversaturation of fights and those events without marquee names are pulling very low numbers.
Well he did probably send his kids to the same private school all the other MIT and Harvard professors send their kids to. There had to be at least one or two black kids. Isn't that enough diversity?

P.S. The table of organization of the University of Akron's Division of Student Success makes the Division look very cool, who wouldn't want to hold the title "Academic Encourager"?

He was also a prominent figure(Dean of Science at MIT) in the women faculty study at MIT by the great feminist warrior, Nancy Hopkins. He’d serve as Chancellor of UC Berkeley later.
RAMZPAUL may be really on to something. He has identified what he calls the classic “CUCKFACE”
It would seem that Edmund Bertschinger fits the bill here perfectly.
What is it about embracing ethnomasochism that means going about the rest of one’s life with both diabolical and stupid look on one’s face? As RAMZPAUL says. the look of a child molester.

People should stop wondering how some MIT physicist, or other really smart person, might come to the crazy conclusions in the linked article.
The clear fact of high IQ is that it increases the power of ratiocination, not of rationality per se. That power can be used to defend the indefensible every bit as well as to ferret out the truth. History is replete with examples of obviously smart people defending things less smart people couldn’t find a way to defend — for example, Communism.
IQ, like science, can be used for good or evil.
Dennis Prager sometimes infuriates leftist callers who expound these ideas by simply responding by asking them which graduate school they attended. That usually hits a nerve, and when the caller asks how did he know they went to graduate school, and what does that have to do with anything, Dennis responds that some ideas are so stupid that only someone who has gone to one of the nation's most prestigious graduate schools could believe them.
What percent of black women have an IQ of 105?
The percent of black females above IQ 105 will vary according to the age when the test is taken (later showing higher gaps), and according to the specific test and sample size. Some sources I looked at gave numbers between 8% and 12% of Black women above IQ 105.
If we recast “105″ to mean 1/3 standard deviation above the white male mean, and IQ to “g” (technically in this case the 1st principal component of the ASVAB tests set to mean 100 s.d. 15), and measure during early adulthood, e.g. age 22 , then according to this paper:
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/234111868_Intellectual_Growth_during_Late_Adolescence_Effects_of_Sex_and_Race
white men age 22 have an average g-score of 111.6 with an s.d. of 13.7, n=536 (+1/3 s.d. = 116.17)
black women have an average g-score of 91 with an s.d. of 11.1, n=166
plugging that into a spreadsheet (=1-NORMDIST(116.17; 91; 11.1; 1)), 1.17% of Black women are more than 1/3 s.d. above the White male mean. compared to 36.9% of White men, with a ratio between the two of 31.5, and considering the white male population is about 7 times the size of the black population, there are about 220 times as many White men as Black women with that level of intelligence or greater.
The point is there are now many black females with an IQ of 105 or more.

Thank you for the word ratiocination. I couldn’t remember it and it fits perfectly. High intelligence and intense education are sometimes necessary in order to be able to condition yourself to believe the most barking mad, counter-factual ideas.

That’s always the problem. As my old professor at UCL used to say … the tragedy of the high science of management is that, at some point, bloody widgets must be made!
P.S. The table of organization of the University of Akron’s Division of Student Success makes the Division look very cool, who wouldn’t want to hold the title “Academic Encourager“?

Clearly a giant in the field.

This bozo reminds me of judge Garrity who ordered white kids to get bussed to Roxbury from his white enlave in Wellesley. Hopefully purgatory for Garrity involves a daily bus trip into the black ghetto for a little taste of what that piece of shit put kids through!

Aw, you’re just saying that to be nice. But I’ll file that away with everything else you don’t know about me.
It’s not quite as good as “‘Cause I’m a Blonde”, but I’d still give it 3 out of 4 stars.

“What kind of bizarro world do we live in when white tenured MIT physics professors have committed to the anti-white propaganda machine.”
A world where the New Scientist magazine is as PC as The Guardian, and where National Geographic features “The New Face of Hunger” – which seems to be obesity.

“I guess MIT propeller-heads really ARE out of touch…”
I know lots of guys who are university professors (I live in an elite university town), and they all have the same problem as far as women and minorities are concerned – sampling bias. All of the women and minorities they meet are into the 95th percentile or way better; they are not within a couple of standard deviations of average, let alone below average.
Even the girls who work at local stores are in this high-end sample – either university girls who need to make ends meet, or women who graduated and can’t get a job in their chosen field of Women’s Studies.
That’s why they look at the honors or grad school classes in math and physics, and see that these classes are about 15% female, and they still think “Oh, just think of the poor girls who were discouraged from an exciting college experience of sitting by yourself and spending 80 hours per week solving equations.”
Sampling bias. Oh, and if you express any other opinion you will be cut from the herd and FIRED.
Bonus pic: It’s not that there aren’t ANY women who can do science. Even at the far end of the curve, while it’s mostly men, you will find an occasional woman. See this famous picture of the 1927 Solvay conference with true luminaries for a reasonably accurate picture of what happens when women are given a chance and do their best.

Sounds a little contrived but Ok.

Probably even less chance of seeing a black than in a richy-rich private school.

Any point can be made to sound “logical” when you get to define what the boundaries of discussion are.
Brock Lesnar brought over a lot of “crossover” fans from pro-wrestling. But core fans (not the casual fans) absolutely loathed him, which only increased the PPV numbers (because people either love or hate heels, and even the ones who hate heels tune in to see them get crushed). Lesnar, though, was undeveloped at the technical level (he was a one-trick pony) and, worse, had a fatal habit of turning and running the other way when he got hit. As a lifelong student of combat sports, he was one of the least interesting fighters for me.
The UFC is really not in the women’s MMA business. It is in the Ronda Rousey business. She has been extremely profitable for the promotion, probably on the par with its latest golden boy, Connor McGregor. And Rousey and McGregor could not have risen at a better time since the UFC desperately needed new stars after the likes of Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre, B. J. Penn, and others began to fade.
The UFC has been pursuing the strategy of promoting the brand rather than the individual fighters, and it has become increasingly clear that the strategy is a failure. People don’t respond to brands – they respond to compelling fighters, whether because of their domination, hype or both. It is also desperately trying to transition from the PPV model to the network model, and has had mixed success at best. There appears to be an oversaturation of fights and those events without marquee names are pulling very low numbers.

Still others vehemently disagree that teachers should be held to higher moral standards than other citizens. Increasingly, opined George Washington University Law School public interest law scholar Jonathan Turley in a 2012 Los Angeles Times piece, “public school teachers are being fired or suspended for perfectly lawful activities during off-work hours when those activities are deemed inappropriate by parents or school officials.” He cited examples of teachers getting disciplined for posting photos of themselves posing with strippers and holding cocktails and for being discovered to be former porn actors, all of which he believes are unfair.
More recent cases involve a Texas teacher fired for a racially charged Facebook comment in which he defends the infamous pool-party cop

“The Constitution protects free speech and expression,” said Stone. “This is a legal profession or hobby. She has the right to do it and it’s protected under free speech.”
In the state code, the rules for dismissing a teacher include a clause about immorality, but Stone said this video doesn’t fit that description.
So, we can conclude, if you are a White teacher who says something defending a White cop, you deserve to LOSE YOUR JOB.
If you are a Black teacher who strips in violation of your employment contract, that’s free speech and you probably *won’t* lose your job.

Rabbi Prager gave a speech at my son’s high school. He said the most effective way for teeanagers to make the world a better place is to act kinder toward their families. The kids were infuriated, except my son who thought it made sense, so he followed Prager’s advice. It made our lives quite a bit better.
Your going down (your daughters literally) in a couple of years."
I guess nobody would want your daughter because she's ugly.
I hope that the vibrant diversity you fellas cherish makes up for the loss of electricity and running water, because you won't have any of those things after the white men have gone.
If you want to know what your brilliant, multicultural future is going to look like, just play the movie 2001 backwards.
LOL!!
But they all sound like Rachel Jeantel.
