NATIONAL DATA: American Worker Displacement, Immigrant Workforce Both Fall In September—Why Isn’t Trump Talking About It?

Donald Trump didn ’ t bring up immigration in his Tuesday debate with Joe Biden and that ’ s really inexplicable , because although he ’ s passed no legislation the area has emerged as a quiet triumph .
The U.S. created 661,000 payroll jobs in September , and the unemployment rate fell to 7.9 % , the lowest level of the pandemic .
This is the last monthly jobs report—and one of the last major economic data releases—before the presidential election .
Private sector hiring was relatively strong , with 877,000 new jobs created .
What dragged job creation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public education jobs at schools and local colleges .
Most have adopted on-line learning , in part because many teachers are unwilling to enter classrooms due to health concerns .
The “ other ” employment survey , of Households rather than businesses , reports only 275,000 jobs were added last month .
But the good news : our analysis of the September survey finds native-born workers came out ahead , while immigrants lost jobs .
• VDARE.com ’ s immigrant employment index , set at 100.0 in January 2009 , fell to 112.6 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % reduction .
• The native-born American employment index rose to 102.2 from 101.8 in August , in gain of 0.4 % .
At 102.2 , the September index indicates that 2.2 % more native-born American workers held jobs last month than in January 2009 , Obama ’ s first year in office .
Accordingly , the New VDARE American Worker Displacement Index ( NVDAWDI ) , our name for the ratio of immigrant to native-born American employment growth indexes since Jan. 2009 , fell—to 110.2 in September from 110.6 in August .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Displacement Index been this low in normal—i.e.
, non-pandemic—times .
Displacement is , of course , a relative term .
It measures immigrant job growth relative to that of native-born workers .
Thanks , in part , to Trump ’ s ( relatively ) hard line on immigration , expressed basically via administrative measures , the Trump years saw a labor market where native-born Americans lost relatively fewer jobs than immigrants .
This is not quite what Trump supporters had in mind in November 2016 .
But it ’ s something .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , both groups are doing poorly right now because of the pandemic-related pandemic : From the start of the Trump Administration ( January 2017 ) through September 2020 , native-born Americans lost 2.9 million jobs , a 2.3 % decline , while immigrants lost 1.6 million , a 6.2 % reduction .
But the percentage job losses suffered by native-born American workers during Trump ’ s tenure are significantly less than those endured by immigrants .
So if native-born voters were to evaluate the Trump economy solely on how they ’ re doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a positive judgment .
Similarly , if voters were to focus on the direction of the economy in September , things look quite good .
That 661,000 payroll survey job gain represents stronger job growth than in all but a handful of months in the modern record .
Outside of this summer ’ s remarkable rebound ( 4.8 million jobs added in June alone ) to find months of comparable improvement you have to go back to the 1940s and 1950s [ Strong Job Growth , a Terrible Job Market : The Bizarre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NY Times , October 2 , 2020 ] Another way of measuring displacement : the immigrant share of total employment .
Our analysis of the September report shows the immigrant share of total employment fell to 16.52 % , down from 16.68 % in August .
It had been falling steadily before the pandemic started .
In February 2020 immigrants held 17.53 % of all jobs .
Each 1 % decline in immigrant employment share represents a transfer of about 1.4 million jobs from immigrants to native-born workers .
More good news for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the foreign-born working-age population , year over year .
It fell by 875,000 from September 2019—the 13th straight month of year-over-year decline .
Moreover , the exit of adult immigrants seems to be accelerating -- it shrank by 723,000 in August , and 636,000 in July , year-over-year .
This current immigrant workforce decline is more than double that seen in the 2008 Great Recession .
Back then immigrants were leaving at the rate of 300,000 to 400,000 a month , year-over-year .
And it for exceeds the “ Trump Effect ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ administration , when illegals apparently self-deported out of fear .
This decline was underway well before the pandemic hit .
It has to be counted as a significant Trump achievement—a “ Trump Triumph ” as we have labelled it on our featured charts .

September 2020 was the 13th consecutive month in which the working age immigrant population declined , year-over-year .
The September decline exceeded those for July and August—indicating that the exodus of working age immigrants is accelerating .

Both groups did better in September 2020 than in June 2020 , i.e.

While some may see this as “ good news , ” it is also evidence that an IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM is needed to preserve job gains for native-born workers .
• The immigrant labor force ( working or looking for work ) fell by 1.409 million , or 5.01 % ; the native-born labor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1.8 % drop .
• Unemployment rates for native-born Americans rose 114.3 % year-over-year , from 3.5 % last September to 7.5 % in September 2020 ; over that period the immigrant unemployment rate rose 231 % , from 2.6 % to 8.6 % .
• 10 million native-born and 2.3 million immigrants were unemployed in September , but since September of last year the number of unemployed immigrants rose by 215 % , while the number of native-born jobless rose by “ only ” 111 % .
• Labor force Participation Rates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with the immigrant LPR falling by 2.0 percentage points , or by 3.0 % , and the native-born American rate down by 1.7 percentage points , or 2.7 % .
Why are participation rates falling at a time when unemployed workers have not received Federal unemployment benefits for two months ?
In theory , unemployment benefits discourage job search , so LPRs should be rising now .

In normal times about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Donald Trump didn’t bring up immigration in his Tuesday debate with Joe Biden and that’s really inexplicable, because although he’s passed no legislation the area has emerged as a quiet triumph.

The “other” employment survey, of Households rather than businesses, reports only 275,000 jobs were added last month. But the good news: our analysis of the September survey finds native-born workers came out ahead, while immigrants lost jobs.
In September:
Immigrants lost 181,000 jobs, a 0.74% reduction from August.
Native-born Americans gained 456,000 jobs, up 0.27% from August.
VDARE.com’s immigrant employment index, set at 100.0 in January 2009, fell to 112.6 from 113.5 in August, a 6.2% reduction.
The native-born American employment index rose to 102.2 from 101.8 in August, in a gain of 0.4%. At 102.2, the September index indicates that 2.2% more native-born American workers held jobs last month than in January 2009, Obama’s first year in office.
Accordingly, the New VDARE American Worker Displacement Index (NVDAWDI), our name for the ratio of immigrant to native-born American employment growth indexes since Jan. 2009, fell—to 110.2 in September from 110.6 in August.
Can't render, error
Not since May 2016 has VDARE.com’s Displacement Index been this low in normal—i.e., non-pandemic—times.
Displacement is, of course, a relative term. It measures immigrant job growth relative to that of native-born workers. Thanks, in part, to Trump’s (relatively) hard line on immigration, expressed basically via administrative measures, the Trump years saw a labor market where native-born Americans lost relatively fewer jobs than immigrants.
This is not quite what Trump supporters had in mind in November 2016. But it’s something.
As far as employment levels are concerned, both groups are doing poorly right now because of the related pandemic: From the start of the Trump Administration (January 2017) through September 2020, native-born Americans lost 2.9 million jobs, a 2.3% decline, while immigrants lost 1.6 million, a 6.2% reduction.
But the percentage job losses suffered by native-born American workers during Trump’s tenure are significantly less than those endured by immigrants. So if native-born voters were to evaluate the Trump economy solely on how they’re doing relative to immigrants, it would be a positive judgment.
Similarly, if voters were to focus on the direction of the economy in September, things look quite good. That 661,000 payroll survey job gain represents stronger job growth than in all but a handful of months in the modern record. Outside of this summer’s remarkable rebound (4.8 million jobs added in June alone) to find months of comparable improvement you have to go back to the 1940s and 1950s [Strong Job Growth, a Terrible Job Market: The Bizarre 2020 Economy, by Neil Irwin, NY Times, October 2, 2020]
Another way of measuring displacement: the immigrant share of total employment. Our analysis of the September report shows the immigrant share of total employment fell to 16.52%, down from 16.68% in August. It had been falling steadily before the pandemic started. In February 2020 immigrants held 17.53% of all jobs.
Can't render, error
Each 1% decline in immigrant employment share represents a transfer of about 1.4 million jobs from immigrants to native-born workers.
More good news for immigration patriots: September saw another decline in the foreign-born working-age population, year over year. It fell by 875,000 from September 2019—the 13th straight month of year-over-year decline. Moreover, the exit of adult immigrants seems to be accelerating—it shrank by 723,000 in August, and 636,000 in July, year-over-year.
Can't render, error
This current immigrant workforce decline is more than double that seen in the 2008 Great Recession. Back then immigrants were leaving at the rate of 300,000 to 400,000 a month, year-over-year. And it for exceeds the “Trump Effect” seen in the early months of the administration, when illegals apparently self-deported out of fear.
This decline was underway well before the pandemic hit. It has to be counted as a significant Trump achievement—a “Trump Triumph” as we have labelled it on our featured charts.
By further flushing out immigrants, COVID-19 seems to have accentuated an America-First trend already underway for some time—but it’s possible that immigrants may be about to return. Unemployed Americans need protecting by the institutionalization of President Trump’s administrative immigration moratorium.
A more detailed picture of how American workers have fared vis-à-vis immigrants is published in Table A-7 of the monthly BLS Report:
Employment Status by Nativity, Sept.2019-Sept.2020 (numbers in 1000s; not seasonally adjusted) Sep-19 Sep-20 Change % Change Foreign born, 16 years and older Civilian population 42,685 41,810 -875 -2.05% Civilian labor force 28,121 26,712 -1,409 -5.01% Participation rate (%) 65.9 63.9 -2.0pts. -3.03% Employed 27,392 24,419 -2,973 -10.85% Employment/population (%) 64.2 58.4 -5.8pts. -9.03% Unemployed 729 2,293 1,564 214.54% Unemployment rate (%) 2.6 8.6 6.0pts. 230.77% Not in labor force 14,563 15,098 535 3.67% Native born, 16 years and older Civilian population 216,953 218,933 1,980 0.91% Civilian labor force 135,822 133,361 -2,461 -1.81% Participation rate (%) 62.6 60.9 -1.7pts. -2.72% Employed 131,086 123,377 -7,709 -5.88% Employment/population (%) 60.4 56.4 -4.0pts. -6.62% Unemployed 4,736 9,983 5,247 110.79% Unemployment rate (%) 3.5 7.5 4.0pts. 114.29% Not in labor force 81,131 85,572 4,441 5.47% Source: BLS, The Employment Situation, September 2020. Table A-7, October 2, 2020. PDF
From September 2019 to September 2020:
The native-born American working-age population rose by 1.980 million, a gain of 0.91%; the corresponding immigrant population fell by 875,000—a 2.05% decline. September 2020 was the 13th consecutive month in which the working age immigrant population declined, year-over-year. The September decline exceeded those for July and August—indicating that the exodus of working age immigrants is accelerating.
Both native-born and immigrants suffered large job losses year-over-year; native-born lost 7.71 million positions, an 5.9% reduction; foreign-born workers were hit harder, losing 2.97 million jobs, a 10.9% loss. Both groups did better in September 2020 than in June 2020, i.e., their percentage job losses were significantly lower, year-over-year. While some may see this as “good news,” it is also evidence that an IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM is needed to preserve job gains for native-born workers.
The immigrant labor force (working or looking for work) fell by 1.409 million, or 5.01%; the native-born labor force fell by 2.46 million, a 1.8% drop. Advantage native-born Americans .
Unemployment rates for native-born Americans rose 114.3% year-over-year, from 3.5% last September to 7.5% in September 2020; over that period the immigrant unemployment rate rose 231%, from 2.6% to 8.6%. Advantage native-born Americans .
10 million native-born and 2.3 million immigrants were unemployed in September, but since September of last year the number of unemployed immigrants rose by 215%, while the number of native-born jobless rose by “only” 111%. Advantage native-born Americans .
Labor force Participation Rates declined for both immigrants and native-born Americans, with the immigrant LPR falling by 2.0 percentage points, or by 3.0%, and the native-born American rate down by 1.7 percentage points, or 2.7%. Why are participation rates falling at a time when unemployed workers have not received Federal unemployment benefits for two months? In theory, unemployment benefits discourage job search, so LPRs should be rising now. One possible explanation: a large underground economy, not reflected in government statistics, is employing millions of workers.
In normal times about 300,000 working-age immigrants leave the country voluntarily. With immigrant job loses high in the pandemic, this number is undoubtedly larger today—but as economic recovery takes hold, they will try to return.
This presents Donald Trump with a great opportunity: He can lock in the recovery’s benefits for the American worker—and stem recent immigration’s damage to the GOP—if he acts on his instincts and imposes an immigration moratorium.
Trump’s handlers missed the chance to make this point during the convention. And his debate prep apparently botched it also.
Hopefully, a Trump recovered will revisit his primal instincts in the last weeks of the campaign.

From the New York Times news section:
‘A Battle for the Souls of Black Girls’ Discipline disparities between Black and white boys have driven reform efforts for years. But Black girls are arguably the most at-risk student group in the United States. By Erica L. Green, Mark Walker and Eliza Shapiro
Oct. 1, 2020 … The disproportionate discipline rates of Black boys have long dominated discussions about the harmful effects of punitive discipline policies, but recent high-profile cases have begun to reframe the debate around the plight of Black girls. … Just this week, the Common Application for colleges and universities cited disproportionate discipline rates for Black girls in its decision to stop asking students to report whether they had been subject to disciplinary action. Statistically, Black boys have led the country in suspensions, expulsions and school arrests, and the disparities between them and white boys have been a catalyst for national movements for change. But Black girls’ discipline rates are not far behind those of Black boys; and in several categories, such as suspensions and law enforcement referrals, the disparities between Black and white girls eclipse those between Black and white boys.
Obviously, Black girls behave better than white girls: that’s why we reverently capitalize the word Black, unlike those white hellions.
It’s too bad America doesn’t have any other racial groups besides Black and white that could help us put white vs. Black comparisons into perspective. Imagine if there were 20 million people from Asia in the United States. Think of everything we could learn from having another race with their own discipline statistics besides just Blacks and whites. But of course there are no Asians in the U.S., so this immense article never mentions “Asians” once.
A New York Times analysis of the most recent discipline data from the Education Department found that Black girls are over five times more likely than white girls to be suspended at least once from school, seven times more likely to receive multiple out-of-school suspensions than white girls and three times more likely to receive referrals to law enforcement. Black boys experienced lower rates of the same punishments compared with white boys. In New York City, Black girls in elementary and middle school were about 11 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers in 2017, according to a report from the Education Trust-New York, a research and advocacy group. In Iowa, Black girls were nine times more likely to be arrested at school than white girls, according to a state-by-state analysis conducted by the American Civil Liberties Union.
When everybody knows that Iowa whites are horribly behaved.
Granted, there used to be scholars like Charles Murray who would suggest that the Occam’s razor explanation for why statistics purport that blacks behave worse on average on some metrics is because blacks do behave worse on average on those metrics. But the Murrays have been shoved out of the Overton Window, so now we know that the only possible remaining explanation for statistical differences is that everybody hallucinates that blacks behave worse on average, so they then act on this colossal racist hallucination.
… Sophia Lusala, a junior at Iowa City High School, said she often felt the effects of the “loud, sassy, Black girl” stereotype. In math class last year, when a teacher said he would not review a certain lesson, she asked why — and landed in the hallway “to calm down,” she said. “We’ve been in school growing our minds so that we can challenge things,” she said. “But when we do so, we’re punished for it.” Black girls are viewed by educators as more suspicious, mature, provocative and aggressive than their white peers, said Rebecca Epstein, the executive director of the Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and Inequality and an author of the first robust study of “adultification bias” against Black girls. The study found that Black girls as young as 5 were viewed by adults as less innocent than white girls. “Developmentally, Black girls and white girls are the same — regardless of any differences in outward presentation,” she said.
Seriously, there is a difference in average age between black and white girls of first menstruation:
The sample, drawn from the US National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth Child-Mother file, consisted of 2337 girls born between 1978 and 1998. Mean age of menarche in months was 144 for African-American girls and 150 for whites.
So, that’s not a huge difference, but it exists. Back to the NYT:
…In 2014, President Barack Obama announced a national initiative called My Brother’s Keeper to improve the lives of young Black men. Motivated in part by the killing of Trayvon Martin in 2012, Mr. Obama said the initiative was an effort to “change the statistics — not just for the sake of the young men and boys, but for the sake of America’s future.” Among the program’s goals: school discipline reform.
I suspect that deep down, what Obama would have preferred was to change the statistics for the better by improving the behavior of black youths. But, instead, his Administration issued orders telling local school districts to change the statistics by, in effect, lowering standards of behavior for black boys or face federal interventions over putative racism.
Not surprisingly, the black murder rate has gone up quite a bit between 2014 and 2020.
A few months later, Kimberlé Crenshaw, a professor and scholar of race theory, wrote an opinion article titled “The Girls Obama Forgot.” She also published a report that concluded Black girls were all but ignored by policymakers, funders and researchers in discipline discussions. An NAACP Legal Defense Fund report in 2014 said inattention to Black girls had “fueled the assumption that all girls are doing fine in school,” though they also sustained academic and economic setbacks. An issues brief in March 2014 by the Education Department concluded that “while boys receive more than two out of three suspensions
Due, presumably, to Systemic Sexism
Black girls are suspended at higher rates” than “girls of any other race or ethnicity and most boys.” But scholars say that Black girls are still seen as a footnote. “The attitude is: Everything starts with boys. Paint it pink, and it works for girls,” Ms. Epstein said. As the nation’s political leadership has grown more diverse, that may be changing. Last year, Representative Ayanna S. Pressley, Democrat of Massachusetts, introduced a bill that targeted the disproportionate discipline rates of Black students, highlighting girls. Senator Kamala Harris of California, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, tweeted in 2017, “It’s time to address the underlying issues in our education system that limit Black girls’ opportunities before they even reach college.” LaTasha DeLoach has been working for years through the Iowa-based organizations G!World and Sankofa Outreach Connection to dismantle the perception that Black girls are not as endangered by systemic racism as boys. “These are slave narratives,” she said. “Black men were publicly hanged, while Black women were raped in secret. This tendency to hide Black women’s pain dates back years.” In 2015, when Ms. DeLoach was elected as the first Black woman to serve on the Iowa City Community School Board in 30 years, she began raising alarms about Black girls’ discipline rates. The data showed that 75 percent of Black female discipline referrals were for disruption, compared with 19 percent for white girls; 69 percent were for defiance, insubordination or noncompliance, compared with 19 percent for white girls. “When you walk into a school here and you’re a Black girl, they’re just waiting for you to open your mouth,” Ms. DeLoach said. The Iowa City Community School District said in a statement that it was “committed to identifying, understanding and rectifying disproportionality within our schools.”
Why is Iowa City so different? I mean, other than its statistics aren’t very different from every place else in the country that isn’t putting a major thumb on the scales?
… Cpl. Betty Covington of the Baltimore City School Police Department agrees. In Baltimore, Black girls were about four times more likely than white girls to get suspended, and more than twice as likely as white girls to get expelled in the 2016-2017 school year, according to a 2018 report by the N.A.A.C.P.
How many white girls go to public school in Baltimore City, anyway?
And how white are the teachers and administrators in Baltimore public schools?
Corporal Covington “tells us that nobody can say we don’t have the magic,” Kaia Jones said. “We threaten society because we’re the latest trendsetters, we don’t let nobody walk over us, and people want to be like us. Black girls go through the most. But it’s because we’re just so powerful.” … The long-term trauma for Black girls from disproportionate school discipline is little understood, experts say.
Their self-esteems must be just shattered.

Earlier : `` He 'd Live Longer On Death Row '' —INTERCEPT Reports Black-On-White Murder 21 Years Later , With Killer STILL Not Executed and Lèse-Majesté : Media Outraged Black Man To Be Executed For Mere Double Murder Of Whites I still ca n't get any traction for my `` One Strike and You 're Dead '' proposal : get caught jaywalking , go to the chair .
I take what comfort I can from noting that the federal government , at least , is carrying out executions .
Thursday last week 40-year-old Christopher Vialva was killed by lethal injection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Indiana , for a double homicide he committed in 1999 .
The actual crime is hard to read about , and the only thing to regret about the execution is that it took 21 years to give the swine his just deserts .
Vialva was black and his two victims were white .
That of course has progressives calling the execution racist .
On the numbers , it looks to me as if black murderers are getting off lightly .
This is the seventh federal execution since July .
Of the preceding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was Navajo .
( See Navajo Nation Does n't Want Navajo Murderer Of Navajo Woman And Navajo Child Executed ; His Lawyers Are Claiming `` Jury Bias '' . )
Given that , according to federal crime statistics , 56 percent of murderers are black , one out of seven looks to me like extreme favoritism towards blacks .
Something called the Death Penalty Information Center tells us that 26 of the 56 inmates currently on federal Death Row are black .
That 's 46 percent .
If 56 percent of murderers are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under-representation , evidence of more favoritism toward blacks .
Perhaps the President could mention that in the next debate , if there is one .
Yeah , right !

Thursday last week 40-year-old Christopher Vialva was killed by lethal injection at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, for a double homicide he committed in 1999. The actual crime is hard to read about, and the only thing to regret about the execution is that it took 21 years to give the swine his just deserts.
Vialva was black and his two victims were white. That of course has progressives calling the execution racist. On the numbers, it looks to me as if black murderers are getting off lightly. This is the seventh federal execution since July. Of the preceding six, five were white and one was Navajo. (See Navajo Nation Doesn't Want Navajo Murderer Of Navajo Woman And Navajo Child Executed; His Lawyers Are Claiming "Jury Bias.")

Something called the Death Penalty Information Center tells us that 26 of the 56 inmates currently on federal Death Row are black. That's 46 percent. If 56 percent of murderers are black, that's still a serious underrepresentation, evidence of more favoritism toward blacks.
Perhaps the President could mention that in the next debate, if there is one. Yeah, right!


vdare--2020-10-04--Is Trump Less Concerned About Corona Because He Remembers 1957-8 Flu Pandemic (No Shutdown)?

We should n't be surprised by Trump getting the virus .
COVID-19 is a politicians ' disease if ever there was one , especially for a politician like Trump , who likes being out there among his supporters .
They 're supposed to be out there `` pressing the flesh '' .
I also wonder if there 's a generational thing in play .
Trump 's just a few months younger than me .
Perhaps he shares my refusal to be bothered much about the COVID-19 panic .
Perhaps , like me , he remembers the flu pandemic of 1957-58 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when our planet 's population was less than half what it is now .
I can remember a third of the seats in my school classroom being vacant , boys either sick with the flu or kept at home by parents in case .
Actually closing down the school seems not to have occurred to anyone .
Politically , it 's a nuisance for the President to have to go into quarantine just now , shutting down those rallies he 's been doing , that he clearly finds so energizing .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerned , is that we may be spared any more debates .

We shouldn't be surprised by Trump getting the virus. COVID-19 is a politicians' disease if ever there was one, especially for a politician like Trump, who likes being out there among his supporters. They're supposed to be out there "pressing the flesh."
So, not a great surprise.
I also wonder if there's a generational thing in play. Trump's just a few months younger than me. Perhaps he shares my refusal to be bothered much about the COVID-19 panic. Perhaps, like me, he remembers the flu pandemic of 1957-58 that killed over a million people worldwide, when our planet's population was less than half what it is now.
I can remember a third of the seats in my school classroom being vacant, boys either sick with the flu or kept at home by parents in case. Actually closing down the school seems not to have occurred to anyone.
Politically, it's a nuisance for the President to have to go into quarantine just now, shutting down those rallies he's been doing, that he clearly finds so energizing. A possible upside, far as I'm concerned, is that we may be spared any more debates.

Going back to before the Larry Summers’ whoop-tee-do in 2005, I’ve been pointing out that the three hard science Nobels deserve admiration for not caving in to our culture’s demands for diversity. The media, in contrast, mostly ignored it the demographics of Nobel winners because the prestige of the Nobels might undermine the Narrative.
This year, however, the NobelsSoWhiteMale mindset finally kicked in. For example, from Scientific American:
Once Again, No Female Nobel Winners in Science Including the zero honored this year, there have been just 17 in the history of the prizes. Why so terribly few? By Christophe André on October 4, 2017 Nearly 2,500 years ago, the Egyptian mathematician and philosopher Hypatia was stoned in public by order of the Bishop of Alexandria.
Teh-Genius Coates has FDR’s redlining 80 years ago as his all-purpose explanation for African American underperformance (such as Coates’ writings ), but now we’ve got an even more antiquarian excuse: Hypatia ! Of course, Scientific American’s math is off by about 900 years. Hypatia died in 415 A.D, which was 1,602 years ago, not “nearly 2,500 years ago.” (But who can keep BCE and CE straight?)
Similarly, from Slate:
Nobel Prizes Should Reward Science, Not Scientists The current system has a long history of sexism and racism. Reforming the prizes requires reinvention. By Devang Mehta … This brings me to my second objection: the fact that the prizes have a long history of sexism and racism. Every high-school and undergraduate biology student has heard of Francis Crick and James Watson, the Nobel Prize–winning discoverers of the structure of DNA. How many know that their work was possible only due to data collected by Rosalind Franklin, a more meticulous scientist whose data was shared with the prize-winners without her permission? Franklin was never even nominated for the prize.
Well, she died in spring 1958, more than 4 years before Crick and Watson’s Nobel Prize, and the rules for Nobels say they can’t be posthumous awards. Anyway, I’d say we're rapidly approaching the point at which more high school students have heard about Rosalind Franklin as the Real Discoverer of DNA.

Several tips came into Crimestoppers; all pointed to the same person, who was a bald black man. “And when detectives went to that particular house, knocked on the door, and his mom answered it, and she said, ‘I know why you’re here.
