All right then, give them this exam:

1. Darnell has an AK-47 with a 40-round clip. If he shoots 13 times during each drive-by shooting and misses 6 out of 10 shots, how many drive by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?

2. Jose has 2 ounces of cocaine, and he sells an 8-ball to Jackson for $320 and 2 grams to Little Mikey for $85 per gram. What is the street value of the balance of cocaine if he does not cut it?

3. Rufus is pimping 3 girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800 per day crack habit?

4. Dino wants to cut his half-pound of heroin to make a 20% profit. How many ounces of cut will he need?

5. Willis gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for a Chevy and $100 for a 4x4. If he has stolen 2 BMWs and 3 4x4s, how many Chevys will he have to steal to make $800?

6. Raoul is in prison for 6 years for murder. He got $10,000 for performing the hit. If his common law wife is spending $100 per month, how much will be left when he gets out of prison, and how many years will he get for killing the bitch for spending his money?

7. If the average spray can covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 2 square feet, how many letters can a tagger spray with 3 cans of paint?

8. Hector knocked up 6 of the girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in the gang. What percentage of the girls has Hector knocked up?

What amazes me is how quickly the Hispanics have embraced the I’m a moron ,everything and everyone is racist against me...They have become light skinned negroes....In Oregon,we now have racist math..Blacks and Hispanics don’t need real math because that’s racist... Annnnd the liberals will tell you the blacks and Hispanics aren’t smart like whites,so it must all be racist if whites excel and minority groups don’t......Annnd the libs leave out the Asians altogether....

Yeah, 2+2=4 is racist.

A story question:

You go to the local Walmart and do some shopping. When you get in line you note that you have a $20, $10, and two $5 bill. In your cart you have a gallon of milk at $2.50, a package of 18 large eggs at $2.50, a case of Bud for $15, the last box of 12 guage shells for $20, a boom box for $100. What, if anything, do you remove from your cart?

Logic is racist/immoral, feel the way those in power want you to feel, then “follow your heart, you know it to be true”.

In Brave New World, a process called hypnopaedia is used to teach moral and ethical lessons. ... The Director explains how moral education works by saying, ‘’Moral education, which ought never, in any circumstances, to be rational.’’

Transgenderism can be understood as the penultimate example of this. You feel like the opposite sex? Must be true, biology and science be damned.

“2 + 2 = 4” = White Supremacy.

Yeah, Whitey can do math, but so can everyone else if they put their minds to it and stop blaming their failures on Whitey.

Their approach to math education ought to be re-titled to The Remedial Math Teacher Full-Employment Primer. As a person who does a short course in technical math and precision measurement for a manufacturing client, I can assure you the client is strongly interested in everybody being able to arrive at the right answer so the product being manufactured is made correctly. Their workforce is highly diverse in origin and language so math is the universal language.

Why was there “racism” in math to start with?

3 plus 3 equals 6

6 divided by 2 equals 3

6 times 3 equals 18

What could be simpler?

No “racism” needed.

Someone explained it to me this way — the concept of a “right” answer is very white. 2 + 2 = 4? Is that important to you? You think it matters? You see, where I come from, no one cares about that stuff. That’s a white thing. I was brought up to know that 2 + 2 is whatever you want it to be. Now, don’t be a racist and tell me I’m wrong, because that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

“What could be simpler?

If you don’t understand it, refuse to learn it, if your home life is so bad that learning is discouraged...

It’s racist.

I’m sure when a hundred dollars or so goes missing from their bank accounts, they don’t care because ‘accuracy doesn’t matter’

There will be no absolute truth, there will only be what the ministry of truth and social media say is true at the moment. That is the goal.

I note for the record that there has been scant news about the cause of that event for over a year.

I wish we had a free press in America.

White supremacy manifests itself in the focus on finding the right answer.

There are no correct answers! Any answer is right as long as it was arrived at in earnest.

Insane leftists have been teaching that crap for at least 30 years. it's no wonder that about 10% of all youth deaths are suicides.

The elite still send their spawn to schools where they learn. This is part of the move to get us back to a feudal system with a ruling elite, an ‘educated’ priestly class and a bunch of uneducated serf to do the work necessary for the country to function. They want people dumb, fat and illiterate. Easier to control. No middle class. No striving to improve your station. Just a hard scrabbled subsistence level life supporting the lifestyle of the chosen that you’ll never attain.

So, 1+1= whatever you want it to be and if you’re wrong then you can claim racism.

I thought it was the only way we made it to the moon was the brilliant mathematic capability of a black woman

Poor, deluded woman... probably suffered from "internalized White racism."
