You are right! @ your quote
That's what I will do - to start teaching them maths and other subjects when pregnant

Sounds absurd, right? I hope you know the connection between maths and music. Your child deserves all the help you can give it to succeed in this ever more harsh world.

PrideofLincoln2:
I can't disagree with you but one thing you have to realize is that the poverty in Nigeria has compromised our people to support the same inept politicians that are mortgaging their future. I have seen political rallies in Nigeria where the politicians are distributing a little bag of rice with N1.000 and some Ankara outfits that will fade after one wash. That's why I say these people are compromised by poverty. Why should someone expect a Thieflician to pay him or her to vote and not expect the Thieflician to loot from the treasury. It is a circle of corruption that is damaging Nigeria and I doubt if it can be stemmed.

But exactly! If a politician invests by giving you ₦1000, it's obvious they'll recoup their investment when in office, so why would anyone allow poverty to make them accept ₦1000 from a politician who's sole purpose is to increase their poverty? Is it not ignorance?

These people are not compromised by poverty, Pride. They are compromised by their own ignorance which is what makes them seek instant relief but which just compounds their poverty.

It is referred to as the Marshmallow Test, as rightly defined.

What is the meaning of equity in maths also, how is maths racist?

You need to ask those who claim "maths is racist" how maths is racist.

Equity in "maths instruction", which is the more appropriate phrase, is giving all students in a class an equal opportunity to learn. That's what Kennedy is saying in the image below.

A parent, however, a competent and aware one at least, would rather give their child superior advantage in all subjects they learn in school, as described below, which is why some parents send their children to the best schools and pay for them to get extra lessons.

budaatum:
You clearly do not understand what you are reading!

I am buda! I did not seek equity for my child in maths and all other subjects my children studied! I sought superiority in maths for my children instead by teaching them myself from when they were in the womb and by ensuring they practise and study maths and their other subjects more than any other person's children as soon as they were born because I know the importance of maths to my childrens education and their future!

You be there settling to be equal to others if you wish! Some are pushing for much better. But schools must at least be fair regardless of race, gender, ethnic origin, wealth, religion, etc etc!

P.s. Do know that I do not often respond to new contributors on this thread and have made an exception.

PrideofLincoln2:
I commend you for your patience. You are a very good guy entertaining their ignorance because these guys have no experience of what it means to live in a country where your skin color gives you an automatic advantage if it's pale. I could work into a Bank to refinance my House and I can guarantee you that I will probably be given a different terms on refinancing my mortgage than the one that will be given to a White guy that has lower credit score than I. What do these loudmouths know about that. How many Houses or Cars have they bought in US to make them an experts ?. That's why I find engaging with them meaningless.

Any engagement with them that does not consider their ignorance and hence the need to educate them is indeed meaningless. And the reason to educate them is their ignorance ruins Nigeria. But though some of them may prove to be uneducatable, one must recognise that there are thousands like them in the same class reading the same post and who just might be educated by one's engagement.

I guess I can't forget my teaching education despite leaving the profession long before some of them were even conceived. Its like you got one stupid ignorant child talking nonsense in class. A smart teacher's responses to such students educates others in the same class. But after a while one must recognise they are just disruptive students, and exclude them from future lessons so those who may will learn.

You don't step out of this thread much, Pride. If you did you find there's thousands like them on here suffering and being educated, or not. And as you must know, a buddha must teach that their suffering is of their own doing.

Below is Sunday Rules, in a nutshell.

budaatum:
Sunday Rules, if you want to join us and observe.

No name calling on Sundays. And be honest. Sunday is bring your brain day.

To which I now add the rule below, for those minded to join the cult.

PrideofLincoln2:
Adefarasin was the one who said his wife is abroad with his children in case the country goes into civil war. Well, I don't blame him because most fathers will look out for their families first.

His wife and children are abroad seeking superiority while some are here yelling against those seeking mere equity. See how ridiculously unknowing they can be?

PrideofLincoln2:
The thing is Nigeria can still be saved but maximum pressure must be brought on these looting Thieflicians that are mortgaging the future of the coming generations. The more I visit Nigeria, the worse it gets.

Nigeria's problem is not "looting Thieflicians". We would for instance not blame drumptf if he had gotten a second term, we'd be here blaming maga Americans for sitting on their asses and letting him get enough votes to get the second term, but see as Stacy Abrams did not sit on her ass! She organised and even hired buda to raise up the dead to vote and kick his orange ass to the kerb!

Nigeria's problem stems from the likes of those we argue with on here not knowing to elect what's good for them, which is why they'll likely end up with a dollar at ₦1000 by the end of the year as Tdotbluejays1 predicted. Then next election they'll be here yelling Tinubu or Atiku for president as if they don't already know either would be worse than bubu.

I so love you.

PrideofLincoln2:
One thing I will commend you on is you have the patience of the Biblical Job. Nothing to gain from people who know nothing but think they are experts in everything.

Why won't I be patient with people who think seeking equity in maths is a bad thing or that claim some say maths is racist? Can I not recognise that some people received substandard education and so have not learnt to use their minds?

I have this book I read often where it is written that I must 'forgive them because they do not know what they do', and I understand "forgive" as 'have compassion for their ignorance', so that's what I do. It also has written in it that one must say 'peace', and then dust their dust of oneself as one departs from them, and I know how to do that too.

You should try it sometime and see how they go pissing in the wind mentioning you in every post to get your attention which is what they crave. Starve them and they eventually wither and die. Hmm, I think that's in my book too actually.

Tdotbluejays1:
Please. I don't have time for your lunacy, all I ask is for you to get my mention off your dirty posts. You have shown time and time again that you can't reason beyond that of a toddler. Thank you.

You'll find you need to learn to ignore for your own peace of mind since you can't control whom they mention.

Go on, lets compete to see who does it better.

Tdotbluejays1:
Exactly. I wasted time which I can't get back engaging that dog. He is now the new troll. Want nothing to do with his madness. I am not Budaatum, I can't stands idiots

Go check who of the two of us is still engaging it and see that buda can stand far much less than you can.

I'd go after lost my sheep, but not sheep that insists on entering the mouth of the lion. That sheep I'd kill and eat first or the lion can very well have it.

benalvino2:
Lmao... Swallow your pride for once. At least now you have seen that you did not comprehend book imply... You thought I meant title of the book imply but keep singing comprehension

The book does not imply maths is racist, ben. We have provided you with numerous examples of what is being addressed in the book, if you would just bother to learn.

See yourself trying:

benalvino2:
Guess what, the part you agree with the book STEM, I told you I agree with that part too.

Are you suggesting you agree that 'STEM is racist' according to the book, I wonder.

Tdotbluejays1:
They are just so quick to spend all their mobile phone top up cards data in defending white supremacists online that they forget about the issue and problems plaguing then right in their backyard.

Like turkeys praying for Christmas, they are, not seeing how the issues relate to our very own Nigeria.

But I'm not surprised they fail to see it since its not in the simplistic black and white they are used to.

benalvino2:
I said the book implied maths is racist oooo. He is insisting that the title says something else.

Make una see master of comprehension

The book does not imply any such thing unless to the braindead!

Take responsibility for your wrong inference!

benalvino2:
He had a belief and no one put that belief in him yet he feels its related with the book. He is his partner agree to the crap you see above and budaatum continues to double down on the nonsense more than salford.

I guess it's impossible for you to understand.

I worked in School Exclusions for a local authority years ago, and though the majority of pupils in the borough were white, the majority of exclusions were black students, so the authority decided to investigate and enforce mitigating measures.

It is still going on, as you'd find if you just bothered to seek information instead of sprouting that which just screams how ignorant you are of the topic and the issues involved.

benalvino2:
My dear, budaatum and Tdotbluejays1 act like they know too much that's why even when they mess ....

You do not qualify to identify "mess up", or you would not mess up so.

Tdotbluejays1:
It's interesting to know that Georgia accepted the book.

Doctors just like patients do have biases. Nothing wrong in telling them to check their biases.

I don't blame you and the other chap. You both have little idea about race relations in developed countries.

Nigeria has its equivalent in ethnicity. Most just don't realise there's an elephant in their rooms.

basilico:
Next thing doctors will also be required to check their racial bias.

This has already been done as it rightly ought to have been, and is being done in all institutions in most parts of the world.

Racial discrimination permeates the healthcare systems of many countries, including the United States. This has negative consequences for both patients and healthcare workers, leading to higher risks of illness and, in some cases, lower standards of care for people of color (POC).

Police disproportionately target members of marginalized groups for arrest in many countries. Members of these groups may also face disproportionate prosecutions, unfair trials, and disproportionately severe sentences on criminal charges. Humiliating treatment, beatings, sexual abuse, and shooting deaths of members of marginalized groups often contrast starkly with treatment accorded to others and members of these groups have little recourse to legal remedies to abuse.

Our own Nigeria is even also confronting its own equivalent, ethnicity, as you'd find in the pdf below.

For your information, after years of seeking equity for minorities in the British Education System, the solutions to the problems have been so successful that we have created a problem in the education of the white working class pupils, but I would of course not be surprised if you understand it as "white people can not learn Maths".

benalvino2:
You are here to show your lunacy again. You make an outrageous claim, when asked to prove it you will say go and read or I will not waste my time.

Ben, what you ask to be proven to you is so fundamentally basic that if you can't see and understand it for yourself no amount of evidence would make you possibly understand and see, so I do not bother.

What evidence does one provide for a person who sees "Maths is racist" in Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction, except to accept that you have comprehension issues?

Its like asking me to prove to you that 2+2=4, when I would love to sell you something for your 2+2=12. After all, your lack of understanding benefits me since I know that those supported by a party that reasons falsely as you do can only ever lose!

Trust me when I say, You Bring Me Joy!

benalvino2:
Lmao. So you agreed with the title. Good I just proved my point. The book also implies that maths is racist and I proved this too by quoting literatures couple with questions.

No it doesn't, ben. The title is "Racism in Mathematics Instruction".

Please note the "in" and the "instruction", if you mind, and improve your comprehension!

You are the one disgracing yourself since you can't hear how dumb you sound. Tim Scott is a black Senate Republican but since you can't be bothered to activate the grey matter in that nut case you call a head you defaulted to lies and misinformation.

Meanwhile show me where I have called blacks sellout for voting Republican.

Look at who is trying to educate me on systematic racism while at the same time acknowledging that Republicans don't favour black candidates. Do you even hear yourself? LMAO!

He obviously just uses words he does not comprehend and will not bother to try to understand. You can tell by how he distorts what he sees to be what is abundant in his own heart.

He promised to be good on Sundays, but woefully didn't this last one to the point that he made me sin and now I have to serve penance all week.

benalvino2:
Your premise is wrong. Blacks don't vote republicans, they identify as dems so you don't expect them to fill the republican party. People like you have made it a crime for them to be a republican not to talk about taking up a republican office.

You showed nothing. You did not answer the question.

Ben, if the bold is true, it serves as an example of the systemic racism you've been asking for.

It isn't true, of course, but if you understand what I've said, you'd at least now know what systemic racism is.

Myer:
This is where I get tired of discussing the bible with your kind.
Malachi clearly explained that God hated Esau in the literal meaning of Hate. Why do you then choose to define your own meaning?
Clearly it is you who is putting words and meanings into God's mouth.

Even in Romans where Paul explained Malachi he clearly defines the Hate as Hate. God actually hated Esau even while he was yet unborn and loved Jacob while unborn.
In attemplting to define your own meaning to suit your argument or desires, you have simply turned the bible against itself.
But maybe you understand Malachi better than Apostle Paul though, you being a priest of the order of Melchizedek (that's called sarcasm before you add your own meaning.)

This is the rest of Malachi 1:1-6
... Yet I have loved Jacob but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.”
If Edom says, “We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called ‘the wicked country,’ and ‘the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.’
Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, “Great is the Lord beyond the border of Israel!”


Here is Paul's explanation; Roman's 9:10-20

And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of thim who calls— she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. 
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God?
Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?

You are obviously not under any obligation to discuss anything with me, so when you've had enough you know what to do, but while you are here, we are simply looking at this from completely different positions.

To start with, who is Malachi to fathom the mind of God? Is he not writing his own opinion just as you and I are doing?

God dislikes a lot of things, clearly, and even hates a lot of things that we humans do, like murder, not loving ones neighbour and such like, but that does not mean God hates the murderer or those who don't love their neighbours, is my own opinion, just as we too are not meant to hate murderers or those who do not love their enemies. That of course does not mean we would not be punished for such sins, but to claim God's love is conditional implies one can fulfil conditions to win God's love, which I very much doubt despite the fact that we must still do that which God requires us to do.

The world that God loved and sent his only begotten Son to come and save might give you a clue. It was clearly a world that did not fulfil whatever conditions one might think God might have, hence the need for Christ, yet God clearly still loved it so much that God sent Christ to save it, hence fulfilling whatever conditions God might have God's self.

We can not fulfil the conditions regardless how much we might try, hence Grace, is what I think, for as [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Isaiah%2064%3A6]Isaiah is written to have said[/url], "we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away". Note, "our righteousnesses" are as filthy rags, how much more an unrighteous sinner like myself, how can I possibly fulfil any conditions God might set in irder to win God's love? Yet here I am, loved by God regardless, unless you'd like to claim otherwise of course.

But its ok by me if you understand it different to how I do, for as I said about Malachi, who am I to fathom the mind of the Almighty God. So please have a most blessed and wonderful day. God loves you unconditionally is what I think.
