NIH to discriminate against whites in awarding research grants
NIH: dedicated to racial discrimination
“Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has now created a program to award about $20 million in grant money exclusively to black researchers, thus favoring research not because of its merit but solely because of the skin color of the grantee.
The program will create a new class of NIH’s standard R01 research grant designed to “encourage a more diverse pool of PIs [principal investigators],” said Walter Koroshetz, director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), at a recent meeting. NINDS is launching the program, aimed at new PIs and those whose labs are at risk of folding, together with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). In 2021, the three institutes partnered on a policy with similar aims that NIH later pulled because of concerns it would violate federal antidiscrimination laws.
The NIH attempted to create a similar bigoted grant program last year, but had to back off when critics pointed out its obvious illegality. Agency officials now claim this new program passes muster, because
…it aims to enhance diversity “in a very broad sense,” [NIH extramural chief Michael] Lauer says. An NIH spokesperson notes that although the program “encourages” applications from researchers in underrepresented groups, “it is not exclusive—all new investigators and at-risk investigators are eligible to apply.” (NIH defines “at-risk” as a PI who will have no NIH grants if their high-quality proposal isn’t funded.)
What a lie. We all know that the grant application will require each applicant to state their race, and the NIH will then automatically disqualify anyone who isn’t black. It will also conveniently never make public the actual racial breakdown of those who win grants from this program, in order to hide its bigotry.

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies.

I’d feel a lot healthier if I knew my tax money was going to the most qualified researchers working on the most vital problems. This isn’t funding somebodies paper as part of some tea fight over some obscure disagreement in the English Lit department, we’re talking peoples’ HEALTH!
Its all related:
HARD TO ARGUE WITH THE FACTS
If in your political campaigning (D) you tell people that you will “Shut down the energy industry”, and then proceed to do so without any viable and rational replacement for it what would any rational person expect? DISASTER! Planned and knowable disaster.
Please sir, may I have some more? NOT!
And this is by no means by mistake, this economic disaster being fashioned by the incompetent from a pro American perspective Biden / extreme radical Leftist Democrat party machine was planned and executed on day one. This unfolding economic disaster was not for one second necessary, it is all created, it has a purpose in making everyone “Equal” (Equally poor) and under control in order to “Save” the earth. Two things that government, any government cannot accomplish even if it wanted to. You are being defrauded and lied to.
You will be controlled, and you will do as and live as you are told by your betters. And that is just where the extreme radical Left goes with this kind of fabricated politically driven absolute power disaster. How can you not have a bigger authoritarian government when there is a massive economic and environmental disaster ongoing? Who will save us all?
Never let a disaster go to waste.

Its quite plain to see that they have Forgotten MLK and I HAVE A DREAM just for the sake of PC poppycock
THE SECOND PANDEMIC?
“We need more money. We don’t just need more money for vaccines for children, we need more money to plan for the second pandemic. There’s gonna be another pandemic,” said Biden.
Out of the mouth of the mentally infirm. When does the president think this second pandemic might happen, or when might this be planned for? October? Maybe November?
Before the Covid pandemic it was talked about, planned for and trained for, then it happened. Same for 911. Coincidence?
In the long term and over time things happen and many happen with a plan and a purpose. Where do you think our country and the world is being driven? You tell me.
Strategy Over Morality.
This is not discrimination this is equalization.

If it were equal then they wouldn’t be discriminating against anyone. It isn’t equalization but the exact opposite: dis-equalization. It is an unbalanced process.
The worst part is that it supports and reinforces the Democratic Party line that certain people, strictly due to the color of their skin, are unable to successfully compete on a level playing field.
