More on math being racist and "promoting white supremacy": "Being Right is Sometimes Wrong"

[Sandy]

So it's not just "being wrong can be right" anymore, it's that if you're right, you can still be wrong. Because of racism an sheeit.

To learn the geometric concept of transformations this year, Crystal Watson’s eighth-graders drew up blueprints of apartments. As they worked, she asked them to imagine designing affordable housing for Black and Hispanic families like theirs in Cincinnati who have been priced out of their neighborhoods.

But when she had them add a hallway down the middle of their floor plans, with apartments on either side, some struggled with the idea of reflection — flipping a figure to create a mirror image.

At that point, she pulled students aside individually to explain the difference and offered tips for remembering. Her strategy — connecting math to socio-economic issues in the community and letting students proceed even if they haven’t mastered the skills — is captured in a workbook that gives teachers steps for “dismantling racism” in math instruction.

But the book’s claim that a focus on producing the right answer promotes “white supremacy culture” alarmed some who question how inaccuracy in math could benefit students. And, partly in response to the controversy, California state board members recently recommended against incorporating the resource into a redesign of the state’s math program.

As far as the math on how to afford a house or apartment, it always seemed pretty simple to me: you get a job, you make $, and what you pay in rent or a mortgage should be around 1/4 of $ (at most 1/3). But of course that's racist math to niggers that think YT should pay for wherever they live.

Here's math that a nigger can eventually figure out, if it doesn't eat the entire bucket first.

Sure the niggers can't visualize reflection.

They have no self-awareness, the capacity reserved for humans. Just like animals who think there's another animal reflected on mirrors, niggers are not aware that their own gorilla image is staring back at them. Delusional sub-simian retards!
