“Objective correct answers normalize IQ-ism” is what I think they are trying to say. It sounds better than trying to claim what white liberals actually believe: that blacks are too dumb to do math.

Translation: Those with no aptitude for learning math feel stuck in the crab bucket of ignorance, so they are going to try and make sure the rest of us stay in the bucket of dummies with them.

What would those black women mathematicians from “Hidden Figures” say? They would probably tell these “educators” to STHU. So would my black Algebra teacher from high school who was an excellent math teacher.

“...marginalization of non-Eurocentric mathematical knowledges...”

I confess to ignorance about what the heck this idiot means, and seek enlightenment. Contemporary mathematics seems to be a conglomerate of diverse ideas drawn from around the globe. Babylon gave us the base-6 math still used in world time systems. And likely the concept of “zero”. The prevalent system for writing numerals comes from India. Algebra comes from the Middle East. Analytical geometry and calculus, I’ll admit, were developed in Europe. South Asia and East Asia produce many premier mathematicians.

Most of the world does a far better job with math education than Western schools. Yet this fool wants to dumb down numerate students and stigmatize math achievement as racist.

"Perhaps the concept was invented by some antediluvian civilization and carried by survivors to both South America and the Middle East."

Of course.

That would be the pyramid builders.

There are more pyramids in Mexico that all the rest of the world combined.

And...they came from here:(The wise men from the east)

Sundaland

The cradle of human civilization may well have been the prehistoric lowlands of the Southeast Asian peninsula, rather than the Middle East. Since those lowlands ‘sank’ beneath the seas thousands of years ago (actually drowned by rising sea levels), humanity has remained unaware of their possible significance up through the early 21st century.

Its also very explainable why you see pyramids everywhere.
The shape is a natural first step in building anything tall.

Now maybe there was seaborne communication between the old & new world. I am the first one to say we sell the ancients short on what they could do. (I also don’t go overboard about what they ancienst could do either !). The Polynesians ventured for to conquer the Pacific during the late Neolithic. Humans are remarkably clever particularly when they need to be !

Liberal whites feel arrogantly superior when blacks struggle learning. They feel it must be racist of them if they can master a skill that many blacks fail.

I think the number one is more racist than the number zero.

And if zero isn’t racists, I don’t know what is...

Maybe...

Fried chicken and watermelon.

Dinner calls, see ya.

I’m sure math has been used for that and MANY OTHER BAD THINGS.

I mean, it took a bit o’math to build the atom bomb, no?
