Romes187 posted... okay but what if he posts something true does that mean we shouldn't listen to what he posts...or do we just negate it....or what? what are we supposed to do with truths that are said by people we deem to be bigots or racists or sexists honestly, I'd like to know what your opinion is on that I'll follow along and give his topic the benefit of a doubt until signs of his gimmick starting creeping out. With Addy, this never lasts for more than one post in any of his topics unless he's making a topic about finance. This ain't a finance topic so I already know what I'm getting when I click on it is nothing but bullshit. And hey, what do you know! I mean...thats as fair as I think I'll get hah. So honestly..with this topic - do you think that math perpetuates white privilege? The examples they use in the article were Pythagorus and Pi, making people think that all of math was invented by Greeks and white people But I gotta say...the fact that we don't use roman numerals anymore has to be some kind of argument against this whole thing...it just seems silly. As a child I never once thought anything political about math...and now its starting to seep in. <cite>Romes187 posted [p:889074204] in College pr...
