*** So if Davvon has five rounds ... ***
That’s so funny!

What are you, the grammar police?

[Reily]

That’s Afrocentric Chemistry!

[amihow]

Ah yes. Deprive those Blacks of the best of Western Civ and the culture in which they live. Make it laess likely they will succeed and then pay for affirmative action hiring.

How arrogant of them.

Shorty is pimping three girls.

If his price is $85 per customer, how many tricks will each have to turn so he can pay Rufus for his $800 per day crack habit?

You bes bad!

“Could someone give me an example of “afrocentric math”?

MoFoing 2 plusss mofoing 2 be fo! Or if Tyrone be thinkin of changin from a 10 round single stack mag in his Glock, to a douible stack, how many rounds do he gain?

[libertylover]

One example of the new approach is using Egyptian pyramids to explain trigonometry.

Well, the pyramids are in fact in Africa, but they were not built by blacks. Maybe they should call it Arabcentric math.

[WayneS]

My high-school trigonometry teacher used the Egyptian pyramids as an example in 1979.

Two and two before.

So if Davvon has five rounds in his gat and has to bust a cap in the asses of eight mother******s then how many rounds does he need to steal?

I was actually wondering if they had any examples so we could see what they were talking about.

[bluejean]

You see a whitey with some bad*ss Nikes. After you beat him up with your homies, how many shoes does he have?

[WayneS]

Yes, but computing the ratios of the various ingredients involves math.

[itsahoot]

All of a sudden, many of the kids wanted to major in those fields. I’m sure most of the other teachers have never showed them the value of studying whatever they were teaching them. Probably because the teachers had no clue.

Try that in a seventh period math class.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I always thought was math! I guess they cipher differently!

[Zathras]

Exactly...Engineering is HARD.
You want to someday get paid $$$$, study HARD!
You want to live in your parents basement till you are 40...do lots of drugs and play video games till 3am.

[DiogenesLamp]

Could someone give me an example of “afrocentric math”?

Yes, that is what I was wondering too. I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around this idea that math can have any sort of cultural component in it. It's abstract stuff, and I don't see how you make it "African."

[CottonBall]

it was every class. Kids will care about their future if you act like you give a damn about their future.

[P.O.E.]

What day do the checks come?
