Can anyone explain what this means, from one of his articles? 2003 about Equity in Math.

Mathematics education has traditionally paid little attention to teacher reflection about equity. In this article, we argue that the time has come to move equity from the margins to the mainstream in mathematics education and make it a focus of teacher reflection. To illustrate the need for a focus on equity, we describe the beliefs of a group of high school mathematics teachers. We argue that the teachers' views of equity and race blocked substantive reflection about the nature of their instructional practices and the impact of those practices on students of color in their classes. We submit that this case is important because it highlights some of the assumptions that must be challenged in an effort to promote the kind of reflective practice that can contribute to the realization of opportunity to learn school mathematics.

Apparently the current teaching method is “foreign” to African Americans and he wants Afrocentric teaching for Black students. I’m guessing segregation is the goal.

It means this f*cking moron probably couldn't get out of Math 1021 (Algebra I at LSU) so he switched to a major where all he had to do is regurgitate his teacher's racist hate.

The soft bigotry of low expectations. This is quite literally saying "black students don't do as well at math because it was designed by white people, thus black students don't do well in it because they are black."

It means that, in his opinion, blacks aren’t smart enough to learn math like like every other race and need special attention.

I’m a educated man, and I have no clue what this is supposed to mean.
