Randall explains that “mathematics has always been the purest field of scholarship... 2 + 2 = 4 everywhere in the universe, and always will.” Nevertheless, “critical race theorists may demand that we believe that 2 + 2 = 5, because bias affects mathematics and bias must be overcome, but free minds will never assent.”
This leads me to believe that this article isn't real. It simply can't be. I think people are stupid as frick, but I have trouble thinking someone is THIS stupid.

Pardon me, but was not math discovered/developed/created/whatever you want to call it long before the United States ever existed? How, then, can math be a result of systematic discrimination in the United States?

Just another way for the white liberal to virtue signal. If I were black I would be pissed at all the, awwwwww poor blacks are stupid and helpless that the white liberals try to paint me as.

“Math association says math ‘inherently carries human biases,’ citing Critical Race Theory“
I think the statement above is racist

That’s that common core math.

In conclusion, the MMA says that “it is time for all members of our profession to acknowledge that mathematics is created by humans and therefore inherently carries human biases.”
I have an offer for anyone who claims to believe this: I'll give them a penny and they give me $100.

We are sliding down a slope where ignorance and stupidity are considered to be desirable. Where basic truth is denied or cannot be spoken, how can we be surprised that things like math are considered "racist".

Bad look for math, it has been accused of being sexist for decades and now this?
Not sure where math can go from here

Yes our systems is slanted. Smart people, industrious people, people that are self sufficient and resilient people do better than those who sit in their arse, wait fir handouts and aren’t smart enough to think for themselves.

If i take 2 of anything and add 2 of the same thing, it will always be 4. There is no way to explain this any other way. Not one thing about this is race based or anything based. It’s just simple common sense
Unless we talking about the three fifths compromise that was made to appease your great great great great grandpappy.

Well, to be fair, it's very hard to prove something that isn't real.

Weren't some of the biggest discoveries/theorems in math discovered by Arab, Greek, and Asian mathematicians?

Where did you see that statement?

The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) recently asserted that math “inherently carries human biases” in a recent statement from its “Committee on Minority Participation in Mathematics.”

FIFY. Mathematics requires rigor and mental discipline, concepts completely foreign to those people whose world view is based entirely on feelings.

Then by all means continue to teach marginalized kids the Common Corpse method and subject those dammed white devil kids traditional math from here on out. That should totally level the playing field for the next generation.
