Obama Regime Spends $500 Million To “Racially Diversify” The Medical Field…


Is this really the role of the federal government?

Via Judicial Watch:

While the U.S. government commits senseless acts like skimping on consulate security in violent North African countries, it spends $500 million to help minorities—especially blacks—enter biomedical research fields where lack of diversity is “disturbing and disheartening.”

The grand plan was announced this month by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation’s medical research agency. As part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the NIH doles out north of $31 billion annually to hundreds of thousands of researchers at thousands of universities and institutions around the globe.

Last year the NIH sanctioned a study that determined blacks who apply for federal research grants are less likely than whites and Hispanics to receive the awards. The study took years and was conducted to “learn more about the challenges facing the scientific community,” according to the NIH’s director, and to improve the diversity of its biomedical research workforce. He called the findings “disturbing and disheartening.”

I agree, there are way too many Indian doctors in this country.

Research grants are awarded on merit, not on the color of someone's skin. So this is more about pissing away taxpayers monies on dead end research mink holes in the interests of 'diversity' than anything to do with real science.

The more I think about this the madder I get.

NIH IS the primary screening entity for federal bio-medical research grants with CDC running a somewhat distant second. So here we have the clown at NIH basically saying that the government is engaged in anti-black bias with regard to the awarding of grants when he is, in reality, talking about his own organization. Rather than defend the policies regarding how grants are awarded he's caved in to political pressure and then couched his statement in such a way as to imply that it's someone elses problem and he, by God, is going to fix it.

Just one more instance of politics trumping sound science. And the further corruption of what once was a relatively sound government entity. NIH is quickly becoming a self-sustaining money burning furnace.

Their data shows that minority candidates are less likely to win grants. And the reason is because minority applicants have a different/lesser quality educational background. So the NIH is creating a minority scholarship program. Nowhere in the article does it say anything about anti-black bias. In fact it specifically says that the reason here is NOT racial bias.

The government is helping out with minority education just like they have for the past 50 years. Oh the horror!


(basically the conservative bitchfest here isn't even applicable since none of you appear to have read the article)

 

[Busybody]

its BS when they say its NOT about BLACKS

I posted the FORBES list, that my son is on.....THERE IS NO LACK OF MINORITY REPRESENTATION

What it lacks are BLACKS

It is NOT about anything but RACISM......par for the course fo ObamaCo

 

[Busybody]

CURRY

Please don't insult yourself and say what you say

We ALL know its about BLACK and WHITE

NOTHING ELSE

Since ObamaCo came to town ITS ONLY ABOUT BLACK AND WHITE


Victor Davis Hanson: Unchecked racial tribalism



By VICTOR DAVIS HANSON / Syndicated columnist

There is a different sort of racialist derangement spreading in the country – and it is getting ugly.

Here is actor Jamie Foxx joking recently about his new movie role: "I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that?" Reverse white and black in the relevant ways and even a comedian would hear national outrage. Instead, his hip "Saturday Night Live" audience even gave Foxx applause.

Race-obsessed comedian Chris Rock tweeted on the Fourth of July, "Happy white peoples (sic) independence day ..."

Actor Samuel L. Jackson, in a recent interview, sounded about as unapologetically reactionary as you can get: "I voted for Barack because he was black. ... I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years."

No one in Hollywood used to be more admired than Morgan Freeman, who once lectured interviewers on the need to transcend race. Not now, in the new age of racial regression. Freeman has accused Obama critics and the Tea Party of being racists. He went on to editorialize on Obama's racial bloodlines: "Barack had a mama, and she was white – very white, American, Kansas, middle of America ... America's first black president hasn't arisen yet."

Freeman's racial-purity obsessions were echoed on the CNN website, where an ad for the network's recent special report on race included a crude quote from three teen poets: "Black enough to be a n-----. White enough to be a good one."
In the 21st century, are we returning to the racial labyrinth of the19th-century Old Confederacy, where we measure our supposed racial DNA to the nth degree? Apparently yes. ESPN sports commentator Rob Parker blasted Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III last week for admirably stating that he did not wish to be defined by his race rather than by his character: "He's black, he does his thing, but he's not really down with the cause." Parker added: "He's not one of us. He's kind of black, but he's not really like the kind of guy you really want to hang out with." (ESPN suspended Parker for his remarks.)

Unfortunately, the new racialist derangement is not confined to sports and entertainment. The Rev. Joseph Lowery -- who gave the benediction at President Obama's first inauguration -- sounded as venomous as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a speech that Lowery delivered to a black congregation shortly before this year's election: "I don't know what kind of a n----- wouldn't vote with a black man running." Lowery reportedly preceded that rant by stating that when he was younger, he believed that all whites were going to hell, but now he merely believes that most of them are. And in his 2009 inauguration prayer, Lowery ended with his hopes for a future day when "white will embrace what is right."

Wasn't Obama's election supposed to mark a new post-racial era? What happened?

For nearly a half-century, cultural relativism in the universities taught that racist speech was only bigotry if it came from those -- mostly white -- with power. Supposedly oppressed minorities could not themselves be real racists. But even if that bankrupt theory was once considered gospel, it is no longer convincing -- given that offenders such as Foxx, Rock and Lowery (who was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Obama) are among the more affluent and acclaimed Americans.

The Obama administration must shoulder some of the blame. Attorney General Eric Holder, our nation's top prosecutor, has referred to African-Americans as "my people" and called Americans "a nation of cowards" for not focusing on race relations on his terms.

The president himself urged Latinos to "punish our enemies." He weighed in unnecessarily during the Henry Louis Gates and Trayvon Martin affairs in ways that only added to the racial tensions. Vice President Joe Biden warned black voters at a campaign stop that Republicans were "going to put y'all back in chains."

Obama, during the campaign, brilliantly -- and cynically -- targeted particular hyphenated voting groups on the basis of their race and ethnicity -- on the assumption that such voters could be loosely united by opposition to a purported uncaring and shrinking conservative establishment. After the election, the Obama campaign asked its supporters to complete a survey that included a checklist with racial identifications -- with white omitted.

There is a growing danger in this latest round of racial tribalism. Stirring up the pot for short-term political gain in a multiracial society is abjectly insane.

If the new racialism grows unchecked, it will eventually lead to cycles of backlash and counter-backlash -- and some day to something like the Balkans or Rwanda.

People are just people. But they can turn into veritable monsters when -- as a great American once warned -- they look to the color of our skin rather than the content of our character.
