Ability to solve geometry and algebra problems = white privilege.

esdunbarAbility to solve geometry and algebra problems = white privilege.
I’m white.
I went to Purdue, I’m good at math.
I make a lot of money.
My kids are white.
I’m teaching them to be good at math.
What the fuck are you going to do about it?
These people don’t realize how far they are setting underprivileged people back. They are making excuses for them and telling them it’s not their fault. Meanwhile, people of means are educating their children, telling them to ignore this “priveledge” nonsense and get to work.
The world is competitive and it doesn’t take time outs. While you sissies are busy crying and making excuses, I’m training my kids to be little ass kickers. Eye on the prize.

cslingerThe hell you say!!!

There is a core problem with a segment of society and it has NOTHING to do with race, creed or religion. There is a segment that feels it is owed everything for nothing and they come in all sizes, shapes, races and creeds. The maths are hard and require effort which means they are oppressive.
What amazes me is that this shit doesn’t get destroyed in the media. I have black friends who make me look like a drooling idiot in most aspects. (And by Black I use it as a descriptor the same way I would say white friends. I only personally know one African American and he is white.)

BillyBonesNYHonestly, from my personal experience... most college opportunities offered to minorities is wasted.
Many are not prepared for an education at college/university level.
The kids I went to school with stated the system was "gamed" against them, and that, it was just a respite before they seeked employment or hustled on the street.
Some succeed, most are disillusioned by what they consider a "white man's education". Those that do succeed, prove to their peers, age wise, not intellect, that they are "Toms" and not "black enough".
It saddens me as I've had good friends, that I've considered brothers, have their futures dashed upon these rocks.
To be successful, they need to be prepared.
Many of the failing inner city schools pump the students out, to the students detriment and detriment of their future.

2012BOSS302That an adult even said this, shows the level of stupidity the party she represents is sinking to. It is hard to take any of the fringe nuts serious. And most thinking people, even a normal dem voter, will see this for foolishness it is. But keep it up, the more of these idiots that open their mouths the more exposed they are.

Pipe SmokerAnother liberal educated idiot. The only thing that surprised me is that she didn't claim that math education promotes the concept of "maleness" superiority in addition to "whiteness" superiority. Our education system is in a sorry state when such nonsense is applauded.
Serious about crackers. October 25, 2017, 09:01 AM

"A math education professor at the University of Illinois says the ability to solve geometry and algebra problems and teaching such subjects perpetuates so-called white privilege.
Rochelle Gutierrez laid out her views on the subject in an article for a newly published anthology for math educators titled, “Building Support for Scholarly Practices in Mathematics Methods.”
“School mathematics curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean Theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans," she says, according to Campus Reform.

Wait until next week for the male superiority claim.
