Afrocentric math is wonderful. It is the math responsible for the ancient African civilizations that have been uncovered by archeologists. Civilizations that make white people look like they lived in caves. And whatever.

It’s 3:00. Where the hell is Louie?
Well, you tell me. Louie left his house at 2:15 and had to travel a distance 6.2 miles traveling at a rate of five miles a hour. When will Louie get here?
Depends if he stops to see his ho.
That’s what we call a variable.

Will these students be able to tell the difference between (255,255,255) and (0,0,0)?

Dantuan is meeting LaQueesha at the movies at 6 o’clock. It’s 5:20, and Dantuan is four miles away.
QUESTION: Who is Dantuan’s biological father?
To: ethom
Mary has eight apples, Johnny has five apples, and Dantuan has four apples.
QUESTION: From whom did Dantuan steal his apples?

I got no problem with this, but I don't think it will work.
Besides, I'm starting to see many intelligent black folk in STEM.
One company I went to, I was the token white boy.

Afro-math got us to the Moon. Or at least the Mountains On The Moon or at least the dead reckoning that got Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke to the source of the Nile River.
Basically, luck, tribal memories, and "feelings".
Yeah, I want to fly in a plane engineered with Wakanda math. /s

Used to be, a teacher could motivate the kids by pointing out some other demographic, typically a rival, had mastered a subject.
Nothing said get your butt in gear like Sputnik going up.
Now the idiot academics want you to be able to “see your culture” in a subject. These people are completely ignorant of human nature.
The best way to motivate people is to point out the absence of their culture in contributing to a field, then tell them to get cracking or get left behind.

I was never racist enough to care whether the math I learned came from Greece (geometry), from the Arabs (al-gebra), or wherever. The activist Left is unbelievably bigoted.

African math is different from European math? So what does 2+2 equal in Africa? Answer: Anything you want it to equal.

Dumb pandering program. Besides—Imhotep wasn’t black, he was a great man, a true genius in many ways and he should be honored. (The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans honored him). Egyptians didn’t care a fig about race and skin color. Some were black, some white, but most were brown. As long as you spoke Copt (Egyptian), Drank from the Nile River, worshiped one of the 3,000 Egyptian Gods, and liked cats you were OK. To them there were only two kinds of people in the world: Egyptians and people who wished they were Egyptians.
