White folks do not have a monopoly on brains....they just work harder to use them to their benefit.

But by depriving them of objective truths they are subjugating them to bad ideas.

That's a feature, not a bug.

“math has been and continues to be used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color.”

Why, because it requires them to study? This is yet another one of the left's fantasy "barriers".

Is race racist?

Trying to make claims about individual worth in any way based on skin color is racist. Period. The Democrats need racism as a political cudgel ,and so stoke the embers of racism into fires.

Math is not only racist (apparent it hates all races and ethnic groups), but it is irritating, aggravating, and downright obstinant.

That said, once you get over all the above, it is like an obstacle course that makes you stronger and more sure-footed intellectually.

And, once you get accustomed to its difficult nature, it is even fun.

...for K-12 math teachers in several pilot schools claim that “mathematical knowledge has been appropriated by Western culture” and that “math has been and continues to be used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color.”

How do you "appropriate" math?

And exactly how is it being used to "oppress and marginalize" POCs?

Let's have some specific examples.

These entirely reasonable and appropriate questions are never asked by journalists.

You either "get" math or you don't - and lefties want to tell us math is "racist" b/c not everyone understands it.

Everything is racist. That includes exhaling carbon dioxide.

Our numbering system is based on the fact we have ten fingers. If some races had six on each hand for a total of 12, then they could cry “RACIST!” but we don’t.

Black ink on white paper is racist.

Things are not inherently racist.

But people who see racism in EVERYTHING are.

Nobody thinks math is racist when they are counting their change.

Math is racist? I think it’s misogynistic. I failed my Algebra Regents Exam in NY due to vicious cramps and puking in the aisle next to my desk.

So ... Misogynistic. That’s what I’m going with. Let’s revolt.

Of course it's racist. You can't ask questions like this because black chilluns in the south have never seen snow.
"If 2 inches of snow falls today and 2 more inches fall tomorrow, how many total inches have fallen?"
The appropriate anti-racist math question would be...
"Ramone has an AK-47 with a 30 round mag. He usually misses 6 out of every 10 shots and he uses 13 rounds per drive-by shooting. How many drive-by shootings can Ramone attempt before he has to reload?"

Stem in general is easier for higher IQ folk with good pattern discernment which is around 25% of IQ testing now but used to be more

They lowered it since it brings the black aggregate down

Blacks and some other minorities score 20-25% less than whites worldwide and in some sub equatorial African nations it’s much lower

I’m not sure how we fix it

The civilization lags we deal with worldwide has crippled us

The remedy nowadays is to bring the top down rather than bottom up

The elite who already have theirs and the leaders of minorities seem good with this

I’m not

Within the white strata you have disparity too but nobody seems to care

Is math racist?

No, it usually represents an objective truth.

But if your brain can’t handle the levels of abstraction required to perform high-level math at a fairly early age, then it’s unlikely you will ever figure it out.

Some draw the line at algebra as being the great separator of economic success. Those that understand and can functionally utilize algebra are generally more successful than those that cannot.

Is there a racial component to the brains ability to understand and use algebra? I’m not touching that with a 10-foot pole, but if there were a racial component, todays leftist attitudes would relegate algebra to the ash heap of learning in favor of something less-rigorous - attributing lack of relative success of one racial group to another to “racism” not the ability to do algebra - which is a marker of success in society - so it’s algebras fault, and if you teach it, you are racist.

This is the express path to the economic decline of any country, and we are on it.

Anything that involves noticing patterns and grasping analogies is racist, not in favor of Whites alone, but specifically against African Americans.

Math is non-physical and statistically speaking, blacks need more action and emotion in their lives.

It’s simple, really. Morons can’t learn much of anything.
