if it’s the same math, who cares if a ‘white’ or ‘black’ or ‘yellow’ or ‘brown’ person developed the theorem? only a racist cares

I'd have no problem with teaching Afrocentric math to STEM - as long as it only earns them an Afrocentric STEM degree and this degree only allows them to practice their profession in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Let them Africa's bridges, formulate Africa's pharmaceuticals, etc..!

A Canadian high school switched to Africentric Math to attract black students to go into Science, Technology, Engineering and Math(STEM) fields The problem of getting blacks interested in STEM is not anything to do with Africa.
It is a purely North America problem.
Blacks in North America have a culture developed since the advent of the War on Poverty that being book smart, studying and academic achievement is acting white.
to Africentric Math is not going to overcome such a cultural bias against academics.

Yeah, I’ve heard the same said for science in general, it’s racist because most of it was developed by white people, deliberately so only white people understand it. Somehow it can be “re-developed” another way.
That the scientific method is the way it is for a reason seems to escape them. It’s some sort of self-racism, they’re admitting that they’re incapable of understanding logic.
You would have to be devoid of math and science to believe this stuff....which is the actual problem.

Our "Arabic numerals" were actually invented in India. So the Asians should be OK with math as it is.
As long as we aren't required to use Roman numerals for arithmetic.

The bigger question is why are Canadian Negro children unable to do ordinary math? Canada never had slavery or Jim Crow laws. Canada was always a haven for Negroes who did not like America.

Even the ancient Romans did not use Roman numerals for their STEM studies or professions. The engineers of the Roman Empire looked to Greece even for Greek numerals (which were decimal based) for their notable works.
[I once was so puzzled over how they could have engineered such a legacy of structures using Roman numerals that I looked it up and found out otherwise.]
