Is math racist, or are liberals stupid? Is affirmative action helping or hurting minority performance? (Poll)

[kyzr]

As soon as they started making excuses performance dropped. Bad math is not the answer.
Making excuses for poor performance in school is not the answer.
Better teachers and requiring school work is the answer, not excuses.

Math is racist! Requiring a correct answer is oppressive!

This is actually a claim that is being made often these days: the sciences in general, and math in particular, are racist. The latest comes from Oregon: The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) recently encouraged teachers to register for...

Liberals believe that scientific and mathematical talent are distributed unequally among the races, with Asians being well-endowed in those areas, and blacks below average. Therefore, it is appropriate to discriminate against Asians and to lower standards for blacks-e.g., by pretending that it is unimportant to get the right answer to a math problem.

[Steele] points to affirmative action and diversity — "the whole movement designed to compensate for the fact that blacks were behind" — and says that blacks today have worse indices relative to whites in education, income levels, marriage and divorce, or "any socioeconomic measure that you want to look at" than they did 60 years ago.

"It's inconceivable," says Mr. Steele, "that blacks are competitive in universities today." In the 1950s, by contrast, they matriculated with slightly lower grade-point averages than whites and graduated with GPAs slightly higher than whites. "Nobody gave them anything," Mr. Steele affirms. "They didn't want them in universities then. We would never put our race on an application, because it would be used against us. The minute we started to get all these handouts from guilty America in the civil-rights era, we entered this uninterrupted decline."

ANYTHING and everything not directly aimed to benefit dark people and push whitey down the food chain is definitely RACIST.

..it's not so much as the teachers as it is the culture and the parent or parents....there's a self destructive cycle that is not conducive to education/social development/etc

I was turned down for jobs (twice) on the basis of Affirmative Action.

Neither of the applicants who got those jobs were black, Asian or Hispanic. Or any minority at all.

You can predict who always forgets about women.

If you can't grasp math then it becomes racist

I heard a calm and rational discussion on the radio a while back about African Americans and education.

It is no secret that some (some!) African American youth do not respect school and ridicule those students of their ethnicity who prize education.

The radio discussion pointed out that this was not always the case. African Americans in the past treasured education and considered it their way to attain social equality in this nation. The many African American colleges are example of that devotion to education.

It was pointed out that the great Dr. Booker T. Washington always believed that education was the key to the African Americans' success in this country.

Why this denigration of education by some (some!) African American youth, I do not know.

The bigotry of low expectations. Typical of commies. Just like biden saying they are incapable of using the internet.

Exactly right. When the left claims "racism" they are confirming inferiority.

p.s. How are you doing in TX? The news videos look rough. We're used to it up north, that was a shot of really cold air.

Well hell that same denigration of education is all around us on this board. We've got yahoos purporting not to understand how a yuge spike in voter turnout means more votes for every candidate, for one example. We've got others who still purport to not understand the difference between "weather" and "climate" for another. I call it the Cult of Ignorance.

Yep, they claim to care but talk them down at every opportunity. To hear the commies tell it, minorities couldn't survive without their give aways. Don't know the way to the DMV, can't get on the internet effectively, and damn sure can't learn like everyone else. Personally I don't think the commies know what they're talking about, it's the ultimate white supremacy. Those poor black and brown folk just can't make it in this world without them and their protections.

Getting by myself. Those who aren't so prepared are having a rough go of it. I've got some damage to pipes in my new house, but I've taken steps to minimize any more damage. These damn contractors don't know how to build for cold weather.

It's not hard to figure out. Who has had the most to gain from manipulating young black Americans into devaluing education? (hint: it's the same scumbags who gave us housing projects, fatherless children, and generational welfare).

Just heard someone on TV (yes, on FOX!) point out that if you visit Africa, people there want to know the "right" answer to math questions. There is none of this nonsense about the right answer being "racist."

Activists in this country who are promoting the crazy idea that math is "racist" are truly, IMHO, racists.

The democrats need to keep finding ways to keep "the urban plantations" democrat.
Like Xiden said, "if you don't vote for me, you ain't black".
Yet as long as they keep voting for democrats they will continue to be taken for granted.
How do minorities benefit from "open borders"? (ans: they don't)
