But blacks love the progressives and all their institutions.
Probably wouldn’t hurt if some of the stop smoking weed in the house.
Scientific American had this woke copout:
Modern Mathematics Confronts Its White, Patriarchal Past

—-——Racism, sexism and other forms of systematic oppression are not unique to mathematics....
Washington Post
Racism in our curriculums isn’t limited to history. It’s in math, too. washingtonpost.com Dec 8, 2021.
Go back further than first grade.
Back to the womb.
It’s a genetic difference.
And everybody knows it.
“Racial and ethnic disparities in advanced math and science skills are constraining the country’s scientific innovation and economic competitiveness.”
Having all races at 4% would eliminate the disparity but would reduce the country’s competitiveness.
The fallacy is assuming all races have equal capabilities in every type of skill. That has never been proven. It is just wishful thinking.
“Racial and ethnic disparities in advanced math and science skills are constraining the country’s scientific innovation and economic competitiveness”
A claim that is not based in any fact.. but a statement of a social agenda.
“Fewer than 10% of U.S. scientists and engineers are Black or Hispanic.”
WHO CARES!!! Do these clowns bother to ask Black or Hispanic people if they WANT to be scientists and engineers?
Can you imagine the lamentations if there are only 10% Whites working as engineers and scientists in Nigeria?
I’ll grant that some kids show greater intellectual prowess at five.
One of my sons is a good example. At five he knew he wanted to build rockets. He has a great math mind and is now an astronautical engineer at NASA.
About age five if we were playing a board game I had to really work at it to not get demolished.
My other kids, who were obviously raised in the same environment are all smart but none has the same math skills.
I know two families who raised absolute utter genius kids (college degree by 17 level) yet their other kids are just normal smart.
All examples were home educated.
Deficient IQ’s begin at conception. Get used to it.
I’ve encountered very few kindergarteners with ‘advanced’ math or science skills.
People who don’t have the intellectual capacity for “advanced math” will not become successful scientists or engineers.
People who don’t have the physical capacity to throw a football, accurately, at ranges from 1 yard to tens of yards, will not become successful NFL quarterbacks.
“Every black parent should send their child to either a Marva Collins school, a Montessori school, or a Catholic school - or they should homeschool them.”
Not easy to do when only parent at home is on welfare with a 8th grade education.
How many black parents help their kids with math and reading?
How many white and Asian parents help their kids with math and reading?
Ladies and gentlemen...I believe we know the answer.
But by golly any kid going through that silly phase of playing make believe is a perfect candidate for puberty blockers and gender reassignment “therapy”. Besides, math is racist and 💩, they tell us. Yet these geniuses can’t figure out why so many kids can’t handle math.
Or maybe, just maybe, certain races are genetically predispositioned towards different talents. But by all means let’s just keep tilting at the “systemic racism” windmill”. Onward Rocinante! Onward Sancho! We have knights to slay!
So? Where does afformative action manipullationingationing reciprocipalitationing give back program fit in. 10 percent sounds pretty generous to a foot dragging numerally challenged segment of the herd.
The liberal remedy will pry be to throw MORE money at it or to hold back white & Asian kids until they’re 6 or older. Either way, the high-performing kids, like my grandkids, will suffer.
I loved reading Scientific American many years ago. I also loved National Geographic. I even subscribed to the Smithsonian Magazine. Several years ago I canceled all of them. I still subscribe to Archeology and American Spectator. I actually was able to participate in some Central American archaeology until it became clear there was no way to fund a home mortgage that way. The PhD in charge of the dig had nice digs, and it was an amazing experience.
I agree that it starts very early in a child’s life. But one thing that has been ignored is unconscious attitudes toward science and math, especially math.
If the parents make a horrible face when math is mentioned, say it was their worse subject, or talk about how boring, useless, and hard it is, the attitude is embedded very young and is therefore immutable.
In other families, math and science are spoken about in terms of how fascinating they are. Or it is just a natural part of life and learning, without anything having to be said or taught about how wonderful it is.
Why are people who don’t believe in the Bell Curve not considered “anti-science”?
