You and basiloco are pure clowns, seems you all know the issue of blatant racism exists but you just want to masturbate angering the other side with all your bullshits.

The irony of never do wells. I earlier posted about how Jussie Smollett staged a hate crime. With a potential of starting civil strife . He lied to police and got away scotfree .
And the donkey is figuratively orgasmic over the persecution of the Trump family on crimes investigators have been searching for the last 5 years.

Having secret service protection means you cannot get arrested. What retarded nonsense is that?

Lest we forget.

Jussie Smollett the fagg0t from empire tv series who happens to be a real life gay. He hired these two guys, they beat him up, tied a noose round his neck and poured some bleach on him in a "racist homophobic" attack in Chicago. They were wearing MAGA hats in the 2am cold January night and had on white masks.

Jussie went on TV to claim the attack was a racist and homophobic attack by two white men in MAGA hats. He also filed a fake police report. The media blew a storm only for the story to fall apart.
Nothing happened to Jussie for lying to the police and to the world and severely straining race relations. His charges were withdrawn and he is a free man despite some claim by the PD for reimbursement.

Lest we forget. A reminder.Jussie had to look for black men because he could not get two white guys to bash him.

Ignorance is showing his face again. Most of the Nigerian players are Nigerian Americans that plays for Nigeria National Team because they couldn't make America's Team. To conclude, it's an exhibition game which means nothing. Exhibition like in a friendly game as in Football game. At least 8 Nigerian players were drafted in the last NBA draft.
Who does not know that? The twitter thread is making fun of wokeness. And many are hoping they lose.Politics in sport are a turn off.
I discern disdain for China also. How the NBA bends over for the Chinese market

Maths is being used to foster racism so according to you maths is not racist.
According to the book maths is racist

By your take a lot of things also foster racism, was thinking you might go there. Like races choosing to sire with their race only - hope your aha moment might come up with a solution to this.

1 + 1 = 2 (correct) maths. That's how maths should be (universal law).

1 + 1 = 11 if I fail the student I am racist because I employ the laws of maths to fail the student. So in order for me to dismantle racism in maths I have to pass the student.

Yes, the book imply that math is racist.

When you comprehend, you will understand

I don't know why he feels if he agree with someone he will die.

As per your post about Kamala. I haven't read an article about her comment, but I understand where she is coming from.
I have been to rural America both in the US and Canada. The countries are big and vast.

Sometimes, simple tasks like making photo copies can be hard. Sometimes you have to drive 3 hours to the nearest stationary stores to pay to use a copier or buy an ink itself. Have you lived anywhere in America to experience this?

So I can't disagree nor agree with her. That's her opinion.
Should I laugh or cry?

Anyway, Wikipedia can be accurate depending on how you use it. You see those footnotes in blue. They make those comments valid.

Footnotes are notes placed at the bottom of a page. They cite references

The page is also locked. Top right corner, so some rifrafs or professional wiki editors can't tamper with it.

You are the one claimimg getting the correct answer is racist, so just believe yourself and we'll be done here.
The book says in maths getting the correct answer is racist.
Ill give you an example. Design a drill weighing 50kg that can bore through 6 inches of concrete

I could choose a diamond tipped one , someone could choose a steel tipped one.

At the end of the day , the correct answer is the darn drill can still drill through 6 inches of concrete and weighs 50kg.

The correct answer is not racist. Which is what that guide is implying.

Go don't you worry about the harsh economy back home. Last I checked, the constitutionally elected Biden's doing great and approval rating keeps going up. The orange turd approval rating never even hit 50. Worst ratings since the days of Truman, and the modafucker is shocked Biden won by over 8million votes. grin

Your god lost, deal with it.
On opposite poles. Those who went to DC still believe there is no way that demented fool won. They had to a right to protest.
Don't force your opinions on others. Grant them an audit. They will look like fools if its proven Joe won fairly

What you "maths is racist" brigade fail to understand is that how maths is taught affects how it is used.

I used an example of a self confessed lab technician to illustrate my point. Imagine such a person insisting Physics must be believed. If I teach my students to believe the Physics I teach them, I am setting them up for failure as they will not be able to reason and think for themselves. When I set them exams in Physics, it will focus on them giving the right answers instead of showing what they understand, and if they don't give the right answers I must fail them, which is why our Nigerian education favours those who can cram and regurgitate what they have memorized even though they do not understand it. You see the same thing play out here when people post 'facts' they believe without being able to process what they post and then insisting it must be believed by others.

That's not how we teach in UK. We do not teach you to believe in UK anymore. It is understanding that is key. You can give the wrong answer and still have a worthy understanding that can be built on. The difference between the two is an education that is useful to the individual because it has developed the student's mind, while our Nigeria education has just filled the student's mind with useless facts that must be believed. We get this silly way of educating from religion, which teaches belief instead of how to use your mind to ask and knock and seek. Just try reasoning with most Nigerians about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and listen to them insist that Adam and Eve who went on to populate the earth and live another 800 years, surely died on the day that they ate the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They believe and can not think nor reason or even accept what they see and read with their own eyes.

But I guess you need to know about theories of learning, and how education makes the person, to really understand the damage we do with our Nigerian education system, though the clue is obvious in the numerous unemployable graduates we produce every year.
Elementary high school level. Correct answer. Advance level maths.
I remember We would just not quote a formula, plug in values and get the answer
In most cases we were supposed to show how the solution to a particular question is arrived at ie explain how the formula is derived (( could take upto two three pages ). Finally plug in figures and get the final answer.

At the end you would wind up with the correct answer or a range of acceptable values depending on other factors you would choose to ignore or include.

Bottom line getting the correct answer is not racist.

And he is still on it. I don't know what sort of conservatism they practice in the state since the orange turd took over the GQP. Nigerian type perhaps. (Laced with corruption, immorality and evil).

It's alien to the Conservative politics I witnessed prior to the orange turd becoming president, it's also alien to the type I witnessed the UK and currently witnessing in Canada.
You are working on the assumption that Joe Biden won fairly. Sorry bruv. He did not.
Why would Joe Biden go to PA to fight an audit if he won fairly. So many why's media is not asking and those asking are in goolag jail.

I am not prepared to repeat educating you about your inability to accept you inferred wrongly what the book never implied. The word "instruction" is clear enough in its meaning.
Not just that book

https://www.wsj.com/articles/california-leftists-try-to-cancel-math-class-11621355858


The framework recommends eight times that
teachers use a troubling document, “A
Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction:
Dismantling Racism in Mathematics
Instruction.” This manual claims that
teachers addressing students’ mistakes
forthrightly is a form of white supremacy. It
sets forth indicators of “white supremacy
culture in the mathematics classroom,”
including a focus on “getting the right
answer,” teaching math in a “linear fashion,”
requiring students to “show their work” and
grading them on demonstrated knowledge of
the subject matter. “The concept of
mathematics being purely objective is
unequivocally false,” the manual explains.
“Upholding the idea that there are always
right and wrong answers perpetuates
‘objectivity.’ ” Apparently, that’s also racist.



Hear that.Getting the correct answer in maths is racist. A pilot calculates the wrong landing distance and kaboom!!! Leftism the gift that keeps on giving.

He does not seem to have long time close friends outside his sport, and kept to himself with his brother growing up.

Below is anecdotal.

"I understand where he’s coming from; I too grew up in Stevenage. Hamilton’s mother and I went to the same school – though not at the same time. As close to London as it was, it might as well have been in a different universe. In London the Black experience appeared authentic; in Stevenage it felt synthetic. Race in London was something you read about in the papers; race in Stevenage was something you didn’t even acknowledge. I was 22 before I found my first Black male friend."
Always advice against siring across races especially when you have modest income.
Ive seen this in African countries. The half white African does not relate very well with black Africans.Actually many feel sort of superior to pure blacks.
When they encounter the whitey, the whites don't think being half white is white enough .Privately races/tribes/wealth denigrate other races/tribes/wealth stereotyping sometimes harmful to derogatory points.
Among whites Hamilton couldn't cut it unless he was really well off.

I can understand his lack of having true friendship , but he had a better upbringing , schooling, opportunities than a lot of other kids black or white

Discussion about maths is racist did not conclude. Budaatum said blacks are affected by racism in teaching of maths and consistently do poorer in maths.

Great question. If blacks have a problem in maths should they be allowed to count ballots ?
These were ballot counters and recounters in Georgia. Could the issue about maths be the reason why people want audits in Georgia? Because obviously the racism in maths teaching could have led these counters to arrive at wrong figures , maybe they added to Biden or maybe they subtracted from Trump

Then the resident leftist majority flee to red states and continue voting for the same democrats cut from the same cloth. They end up turning a red state purple then finally blue.

All these laws by democrats are planned to ensure a democrat Electoral college advantage.
