Here's a hint...Anything a black kid is functionally illiterate at (and that's a very long and growing list) is racist.

I had no idea. Confused

II + V + V = XII Romans
2 + 5 + 5 = 12 Chinese
2 + 10 + 0 = 12 Arabs
12 + 0 = 12 Klan?

It might be. OANN/Tipping Point had a piece on it last night. If you google 'seattle schools racist math', there's a lot of other references to it.

After all, it is Seattle. CA just hasn't caught on to it yet.

Just think if all our racist ancestors had just accepted the glory of the Mayan base-20 system!

If they weren't so racist, they'd have given up the mathematical system that their own culture had developed over the intervening thousand years as soon as they first encountered the Mayans!

All hail base-20 math! For progress!

If it's satire, it's on their official site from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction .




If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made.

If they can't do maths, how will they know how many zero dollars they get from being a soundcloud rapper?

Calling it welfare is racist though.

This makes me even more ashamed of my profession in education. I think what saddens me the most is that when I read the article, I knew it was legit and not satire.

Black girl actually said black people can’t be racist. I can think of few times I laughed so hard in my life.

My personal experience is the most racism I have received has come from blacks.

One night I was watching a discussion between two African Howard University members. A student and a professor. The student made that same claim and the professor started laughing.

It brought to mind the many police cam videos released in response to claims of racistim.

The Babylon Bee predicted this three years ago.

It really is getting hard to distinguish between satire and real news.

The link is to a satire site from 3 years ago.

Yeah, they ignore the basics these days.

It was sad, I told the old joke, hey a Roman goes into a bar, holds up two fingers. Bartender gives him five beers..... and then I had to explain it.




I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.
