Subject: Afro-chemistry


The people do these things, IMHO, are clinically insane.

What else could explain it?

It seems THAT ridiculous. 


Rice University offers 'Afrochemistry' course for spring semester to study 'black-life matter'

Rice University is offering its students an "Afrochemistry" course for the spring 2024 semester to educate them on "black-life matter" and address inequities in chemistry.

Titled "CHEM 125 001 AFROCHEMISTRY: THE STUDY OF BLACK-LIFE MATTER," the course will have no final exam and a maximum section enrollment of 15, according to a course description shared by Rice University.

"Students will apply chemical tools and analysis to understand Black life in the U.S. and students will implement African American sensibilities to analyze chemistry," the description reads. 

"Diverse historical and contemporary scientists, intellectuals, and chemical discoveries will inform personal reflections and proposals for addressing inequities in chemistry and chemical education."

The course is not limited to STEM students, and there are very few restrictions for students interested in taking the class.

"No prior knowledge of chemistry or African American studies is required for engagement in this course," according to the description.


Dr. Brooke Johnson, a preceptor of chemistry, will be the instructor for the course.

Johnson is a member of the school's diversity, equity, and inclusion team and "is passionate about the intersection of science and social justice and using her unique experiences to teach, support and inspire diverse students."

If you read the formal medical definition of "psychopath", inner-city blacks possess every single trait described.

The only chemistry blacks know about is pouring gasoline on an ex's house and setting a match to it.

Blacks are very big on chemical potions. I temporarily had a black roommate in college (until they raised hell to get all blacks in rooms on an all black floor). It was amazing the huge collection of grooming products on his dresser. I had one bottle of deodorant--he had about 24 bottles of scents, lotions, hair tonics, etc. And some of them sure did STINK! That is all I know about Afrochemistry.

And this is rice university to an elite institution oh Mercy, and of course we must think of all the great black inventors in Camas, George Washington, Carver. For instance, nobody has ever been able to re-create his inventions as he left no record of his research.

Her faculty position is defined as 'preceptor', a term I had never heard of or read before.
From her Rice page: https://profiles.rice.edu/faculty/brooke-johnson

'Dr. Brooke Johnson joined the DEI team as a Preceptor after obtaining her Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton University (‘23). Rice alum (‘17) and former Rice track athlete, Dr. Johnson is passionate about the intersection of science and social justice and using her unique experiences to teach, support and inspire diverse students'
(Thankfully, she does not 'work' in the Chem Dept, rather for 'Diversity, Equity, Inclusion'; apparently, it's not enough now to have 1/2/3 'DIE Officers' for the entire Univ: now there are whole 'Departments'). Bing gives this definition for 'preceptor':

'A preceptor is an experienced practitioner who provides supervision during clinical practice and facilitates the application of theory to practice for students and staff learners. A preceptor works with the learner for a defined period of time to assist the learner in acquiring new competencies required for safe, ethical, and quality practice.'

Up to this point - amidst the swamping of the entire academic system by 'DEI requirements' - the assumption always had been that the 'hard sciences and engineering' (Chem, Physics, Math, Material Science, etc) would be immune from this racist Marxist shit.
[Any 'hard science' degree from Princeton had always carried some 'real weight']
That a fraud like this could attain such a degree in the first place - then leverage it to 'create' a program she calls 'Afro-Chemistry' - shows how meaningless these degrees have become. I can only imagine (with horror) what the course syllabus and lectures will look like.

Hey, any most latest case of black chemistry the punk poured a flammable liquid maybe gasoline down the throat of a nine year old white man alive black chemistry for you
