If two hits of meth cost $10, how much for three hits?

Does 2 + 2 = 4 in afrocentric math, or is there a different outcome somehow?

Whatever you want the answer to be will OK with the school.

Sigh. Is there any wonder why there are no great cities of black Africa.

When I was teaching statistics at Marmara University in Istanbul, I used a lot of data from the Turkish Census in my examples. I thought the students would be more likely to relate to the material than if I used the same examples as I would have used back home in an American university.

Admittedly it’s a small sample, but based on my experience with actual Africans that I have met (who work in various engineering or math-related professions), they didn’t need such foolish teaching methods in order to learn math and succeed - in fact, they would have been insulted if a bunch of leftist idiots tried to dumb things down for them in such a way.

I think it involves removing shoes so there’s more extremities to use for counting. Dropping trou helps too, gives three more, maybe. Unless a “magic Johnson” is involved!

Wrong. You’re still thinking too Eurocentric.

Jevonte hooked-up wif two of the same b*tches as DeAuntuan. So the answer is 5. 5 baby mammas.

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

Ojimbwi lives in a mud hut in the Sudan. Next to his hut is a pile of cattle dung that is 10 feet high with a base of 12 feet and is conical in shape.

Find the center of mass for this pile of dung.

Fifty years ago we sent a men to the moon but we still haven’t been able to develop a standardized test where blacks score as well as whites or Asians. People have tried negrocentric teaching methods before and argued that blacks “learn differently” than whites, but I don’t know if it worked. I suspect not.
