Leftwing Prof: Algebra, Geometry Perpetuate 'White Privilege'

Rebel Staff

After eight years of Barack Obama's race-baiting ways, leftwing Americans see everything through the lens of race. One leftwing professor showed this once again this week, when she argued that algebra and geometry are "racist" and perpetuate white privilege. 

“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness. Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White," University of Illinois Professor Rochelle Guttierez argued in a new anthology for math teachers, adding that math teachers "must be aware of the “politics that mathematics brings” in society.

“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness. Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White,” she went on to lament. She then worried that that algebra and geometry perpetuate privilege, complaining that “curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans."

Gosh, I wish somebody had told me I could use my white privilege to excel at math when I was in school!

It seems that a white American can't even be good at math without being accused of "racism" these days. Making math about race is ridiculous. Unlike subjects like English literature or history, for example, math is fairly straight-forward. It always has a right or wrong answer. You either "get" that answer correct, or you don't, regardless of whether your skin color is white, brown, red, or purple!

It's ironic that left-wingers are always accusing conservatives of racism, when they are the ones constantly making everything about race. What Guttierez fails to realize is that her entire argument is racist against white people. Telling someone that they are only good at math because of their white completely negates all their accomplishments in that field simply because of their skin color. Of course, however, white people can never be victims of racism in the eyes of the leftwing.

I think you mean the failed academic PhD candidate who’s ideas for her dissertation impressed nobody and she got the message when they never handed her the keys to the club.. now like all other failed academics they wait tables in less than upscale restaurants trying to impress the younger generation of sponge headed, vacant eyed little droolers how the system failed them after years of dedicated service to academia and university only to be discarded because their views were so much more progressive than those around them at the hallowed halls of learning. like the hot water tank most fields of academia have outlived their usefulness and have evolved into fields of artificial skill that requires a host for these parasites to feed from, having no intrinsic value or saleable knowledge of their own that is of any use beyond propaganda.

PROFESSOR?… PROFESSOR Rochelle Guttierez?… The University of Illinois must be running a lunatic asylum as an integrated part of its campus…

Where is our University teacher Andrew to explain why this is not stupidity?

HOO BOY! I wonder if White people will still able to breath in the future?

“There’s really nothing to be said about this. Her incredible imbecility is self evident. There’s no cure for stupid, so the only answer is to ignore her and move on. However, I do find it amazing that every time I think I’ve heard everything, some highly educated nut-case out-does his/herself in the stupid department. It keeps my otherwise dull life interesting. As Dennis Prager says, “She must be a University graduate. That kind of stupidity doesn’t come naturally, it’s learned”.”

“that kind of stupidity does not come naturally it must be learned”
Honestly that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen or read all week and instantly had a good chuckle at that statement…
Well done Maurice….. WELL DONE… OOH-RAA

I think the lefty weirdo-academics and fellow travelers are likely just jealous or something that non-White and non-Asian races – generally – lack the IQs to do the math, of which a bunch of studies – that you’re not allowed to talk about – clearly show the lower IQs…but since these FACTS don’t jibe with the lefties indoctrinated narrative, and their agenda of domination and destruction, the FACTS are demonized, rejected and oppressed. That’ll be your lefty intellectual integrity and ethics at work…

Make sure you use your left hand when cleaning yourself, after using the Toilet, lest you be labeled a Racist.

I guess the Incas were very white and ergo very racist. Their calculations regarding the sun are exceptionally accurate, just as the ancient Egyptians.

Who knew that the construction of the pyramids was due to white racism!

Then there are the Indians (of India) who gave us the number 7, and used mathematics to build magnificent palaces.

So I hope that idiot doesn’t use a cell or a land line telephone because it uses numbers. I do hope she doesn’t use anything made of technology because, well, its mostly mathematically based. She better not drive, because speed limits are numbers, based in that white privilege mathematic calculation of speed.

Maybe she will become depressed about all the white privilege and take a flying leap off some really, really tall place, hopefully reaching terminal velocity – oops, another white math concept.

And yet she is allowed to teach…

“Leftwing Professor Argues That Algebra, Geometry Perpetuate ‘White Privilege’”

Just when you think they can’t get any stranger, they surprise you. Someday I will learn that there is no limit to the depth they can twist their little brains.

Another axe grinding bigot spews racist vitriol with no consequence

… How insulting to black people.
… Saying “math is too hard for black people. All they can do is rap obscenities, sell drugs, and play sports”
… Only the Left considers race anymore. Everyone else has moved on.

Let’s see…the Arabic number system we use was developed by…wait for it…Arabs!

Algebra was also developed by Arabs!

It is thought that Arab mathematicians pre-dated Newton in the discovery of calculus.

Me thinks this regressive left professor is displaying extreme islamophobia.

This just proves the insanity and incompetence in the education industry today. The lunatics are incapable of rational thought, and seem to want to blame the white race for everything under the sun, to incite envy and jealousy, and to call the mentally unstable, or lone wolves, to act on it by attacking anyone who is white. They are grossly pathetic and need to be housed in the psych ward for further assessment, to see if they can be deprogrammed.

Without those equations the world would not even have the light bulb – seems to me the universities are telling us we no longer need them.

At the rate the idiots instructing at them are complaining I am prepared to write them all off and start over.

As we’ve seen many times before, this silly person is just a sad reflection of the competence of the University’s President to manage the organization.

So this iconoclastic professor never bothers to check the arithmatic on zher pay stub…nah….probably not…… That would be white supremacist.
