Once again, you are the idiot. You simply cannot read. What a shame. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/ready-for-ethno-mathematics-anyone.356212/#post-5328372
The "average" African American has an IQ of 85. This deviation is genetic in nature and is specific to Sub - Saharan Africans of which African Americans are a subset (say what?) African Americans have/do/ and will always have trouble with math.
My experience has been different. When I was 17 and crushing USAF radar school at Lowry AFB I was number one at the school. Academic number two was my best friend, a black kid from Brooklyn. He was sharp, urbane and open to friendship with a waspy white kid from LA. I lived with a thai chick off base and he would come over after school and have a couple of beers, smoke pot and play backgammon. My thai girlfriend was so profoundly racist that she would hiss and spit a little when he was around. Once she slammed a door so hard I thought maybe she shot him. It won't do to lump everyone into some absurd category based on pigmentation. It doesn't fit the reality that is out there. You clearly hate schvartzas. I'm not reading anymore of your posts.
I stated on average. There will be some African Americans who do reasonably well in math but not many. Pigmentation really has nothing to do with it. Lots of people from India who are dark skinned do well in math. The skinny - All humans originated in Africa. Some groups left Africa and went to - Europe - Asia. One particular group Sub - Saharan Africans, stayed in Africa. Those that left Africa encountered challenging environmental conditions. These challenging environments genetically shaped the survivors. They acquired a different set of skills - example - long range planning. This is a simplification but those that left Africa acquired a different gene set than those that stayed in Africa (Sub-Saharan Africans). While the details are unknown it is a fact that those that left Africa are much better in math than those that stayed in Africa.
Critical Race Theory is being embedded in math... California educators battle over woke math California educators are enmeshed in a debate over whether the traditional mathematics curriculum should be jettisoned in favor of a new method steeped in race and culture. https://calmatters.org/commentary/2021/07/california-educators-math-curriculum-woke-students/ The modern world runs on mathematics. From balancing a checkbook to calculating rocket trajectories, human beings rely on their ability to understand and use mathematical tools, and we expect our schools to develop those tools in their young charges. But how and when? For the past eight months, a philosophical war has raged in California education circles over a plan to sharply, even radically, change math instruction at all grade levels. In January, the state Instructional Quality Commission released a draft “mathematics framework” that would shift instruction from the traditional, and somewhat linear, approach to one steeped in race and culture, or “woke” in contemporary parlance. The draft declares that traditional math instruction, in which students progress from counting and simple arithmetic into geometry, algebra, trigonometry and eventually calculus as they advance through the grades, “has much to correct (because) the subject and community of mathematics has a history of exclusion and filtering, rather than inclusion and welcoming.” “There persists a mentality that some people are ‘bad in math’ (or otherwise do not belong), and this mentality pervades many sources and at many levels,” the draft continues. “Girls and Black and Brown children, notably, represent groups that more often receive messages that they are not capable of high-level mathematics, compared to their White and male counterparts.” To counter that perceived shortcoming, the proposal would have students of all inate abilities remain together well into high school, essentially eliminating acclerated moves into higher-level mathematics, such as calculus, by those who exhibit desire and aptitude. Moreover, math instruction would be reoriented from the linear manipulation of numbers into a tool for social justice. “Mathematics educators have an imperative to impart upon their students the argument that mathematics is a tool that can be used to both understand and change the world,” the draft declares. The draft generated a backlash from advocates of traditional math, including an open letter signed by hundreds of academics. “California is on the verge of politicizing K-12 math in a potentially disastrous way,” the letter declared. “Its proposed Mathematics Curriculum Framework is presented as a step toward social justice and racial equity, but its effect would be the opposite – to rob all Californians, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, who always suffer most when schools fail to teach their students. As textbooks and other teaching materials approved by the state would have to follow this framework and since teachers are expected to use it as a guide, its potential to steal a promising future from our children is enormous.” Rather than reframe math in social justice terms, the critics contend, California should do a better job of teaching math skills that students will need in the real world, particularly students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The conflict mirrors a previous dustup over an ethnic studies curriculum as well as the current nationwide debate over whether “critical race theory” should be taught in school or banned. Advocates of the new curriculum are playing with the lives of millions of children and the state’s economic and societal future. Implicitly they are shifting blame for the state’s embarrassingly low scores in nationwide math achievement tests from themselves to the traditional way math has been taught. How, then, do they explain why kids in other states and nations are thriving with traditional math? Can they prove that their proposal will improve real world outcomes, or are they just indulging their ideological fantasies?
Must have been a great piece of ass to put up with her racism against your friend... ahh what we do for a nice (_/_)
