View Full Version : Okay, I've come up with a new term...'nigger down!'

You've heard the term 'man up', well this takes things in the opposite direction. I mentioned this term 'nigger down!' to a friend and he asked, "Is that like 'stand down'?" I told him, no, because to say 'stand down' implies one has standards. I went on to explain that 'nigger down!' means one DOES NOT have standards and it's a race to the bottom. It's all around us, many have adopted the 'nigger down!' attitude.

White privilege bolstered by teaching math, university professor says

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/24/white-privilege-bolstered-by-teaching-math-university-professor-says.html

A math education professor at the University of Illinois says the ability to solve geometry and algebra problems and teaching such subjects perpetuates so-called white privilege.

Rochelle Gutierrez laid out her views on the subject in an article for a newly published anthology for math educators titled, “Building Support for Scholarly Practices in Mathematics Methods.”

“School mathematics curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean Theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans," she says, according to Campus Reform.

She also says that addressing equity in mathematics education will come when teachers can understand and negotiate the politics outside the classroom.

“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 writes.

Further, she says mathematics operates with unearned privilege in society, “just like whiteness.”

What's worse than a "professor" arguing against a hard science? The "academic leadership" apologizing for her:

University of Illinois interim Provost John Wilkin told Fox News that Gutierrez is an established and admired scholar who has been published in many peer-reviewed publications.

“As with all of our faculty at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Prof. Gutierrez has the rights of academic freedom necessary to pursue scholarship and research on important subjects and to reach conclusions even if some might disagree with those conclusions,” he said.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Rev. Jesse Jackson is calling for a boycott of Kroger supermarkets after the company recently closed two locations in majority-black areas in Memphis.

“If Kroger gonna leave us, we’re gonna leave Kroger. It’s boycott time,” Jackson said on Monday’s Live at 9 program on WREG.

Kroger announced in February it would close its store on Lamar and another on South Third, citing millions of dollars in losses over the past several years.

How racist... to close shops, blaming losses on theft in majority black areas. The implications are obvious, this is an obvious hate thought crime.

Emotions ranging from outrage to sadness was seen through Facebook comments, statuses, and posts when the Kroger Delta Division announced last month that the Kroger here would be closing, reported by the Clarksdale Press Register.

Thanks in large part to its 75-year-presence in Clarksdale, Kroger became a primary grocery store for many who were in awe upon hearing of the news of its closing.

“We review our stores’ performances annually and unfortunately, despite our store team’s best efforts, profits steadily continued to decline at our Clarksdale store,” said Hendricks

Midtown Macon and its Vineville and Stanislaus neighborhoods are losing their grocery store.

The Kroger store at 400 Pio Nono Ave. is scheduled to close April 20, the company's Atlanta division announced Monday.

"We're dumbfounded," one worker said Monday as the news became public.

The statement cited "declining sales and negative profit over an extended period" as the reason the store will be closing.

A Medical School Tradition Comes Under Fire for Racism (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/09/05/643298219/a-medical-school-tradition-comes-under-fire-for-racism)

Senior medical student Giselle Lynch has plenty of accomplishments to list when she applies for a coveted spot in an ophthalmology residency program this fall. But one box she won’t be able to check when she submits her application is one of the highest academic awards medical students can receive, election to the honor society Alpha Omega Alpha.

It’s not because she didn’t excel. It’s because her medical school, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, put a moratorium on student nominations because it determined the selection process discriminates against students of color.


Over the past five years, around 3 percent of students chosen for the distinction at Icahn were from a racial background that is underrepresented in medicine, which includes blacks and Latinos. In that same period, about 18 percent to 20 percent of each graduating class at Icahn came from those groups.
The school made the change after Lynch led a group of fellow students in an effort to fight inequality at Icahn. The students collected data on how many students from underrepresented minorities were nominated to the honor society at Icahn and presented it in a series of meetings with school leadership last year.

Grammar is racist. An exact language is essential if you want to communicate with precision, which is one of the pillars of civilization I would argue. If you can not communicate with precision you can not for instance have equality in law, you will not be able to engineer complex machinery or build complex structures or systems. Instead you get a low tech society based on belief and superstition ruled by brutal force. Like Africa.

This deserves it's own thread and discussion. Right now the trades are booming. One super on a job said he went to the union hall, and they had nobody to send him. Everyone was working. He asked us if we knew of anyone who had a hard hat and common sense...they could start work tomorrow. That job paid close to $100,000 a year.

It's good to see young folks realizing that college these days is nothing more than social programming, with little prospects of success upon graduation.

Back when I was in high school, we had auto shop, metal shop, wood shop...even home economics for girls. The feminists would love that class today...lol. Now, high school just teaches kids how to get into college, no real skills. For Gen Z, to think outside that programming, and choose the trades is amazing. This gives me hope for the future.

I wouldn't read too much into this. While it's good that these kids are getting practical, useful career training, never doubt that plenty of indoctrination is being instilled in them. A lot of these tracks are health care-oriented, and "diversity" (racial, linguistic, faggot, tranny) "sensitivity" is mandatory.

Further, the ruling class will continue to be drawn from those who attend System universities. While someone with an AA or AS in a technical field may have more practical, meaningful skills and knowledge, the System has things set up so that they are "lesser" than those with commissariat "education"; lots of the best positions will continue to require Master's or Ph.D.s in bullshit fields.

IE their job site foreman (or whatever they call it) doing little to no "real work", lazy, God-complex, just bark orders in between cigs & chatting on their smartphones or whatever. It seems these "cushy union gigs", esp during boom-times, bring out the worst in some ppl! :(


Many tradesmen are alcoholics, but many other professions are notorious also. Lawyers are some of the worst from what I hear. Things have been going down in the construction trades for many years. I worked rough carpentry for quite awhile and it is brutal, thankless work, especially in the winter. Hands and feet freeze all day long. Some bosses are 'Screamers' but some are decent. The respect and decency among the different trades for each other has dwindled remarkably. This is in some manner due to the unrealistic expectations handed down from the upper levels, to adhere to unrealistic schedules. Everyone ends up bumping into each other and it goes worse than if there were no rush at all. Haste makes waste. I worked with masons for awhile as a tender and it was kind of hilarious the way they would treat the electricians. Electricians tend to be pre-madonnas and think they are better than the other guys on jobs. Someone who feels they are superior and exudes this attitude is not likely to be treated any better than they treat others. Some electricians are cool as hell also.

All in all there is simply less decency and respect on jobs anymore and it wears a man down.

heh; reminds of the "SUV craze" beginning around 1990s-- talmudvision saturated with ads depicting smiling (yuppies in lumbersexual costumes) arriving at the mountain top, skiing, driving through that Summertime shallow stream, mudding etc.. when their target market were urban yuppies who'd seldom/never go "off road" except for shopping mall parking lots, & whose true 'lifestyle' was some purgatory-like Office Space scenario. But that SUV was their "rolling image", like Harleys... which also long since became middle aged yuppie "faux alt-lifestyle-signalling" props.

I think giving an 18 year old who lived in poverty all their lives a bag full of money, would do them any good. They would spend it all in a couple months on things that would make their lives worse, long term. Corey Booker thinks that it is only money that separates rich from poor, while it actually is attitude and ability which is the primary cause, money is a secondary effect of that. Throwing a bag of money on a stupid 18 year old, is really stupid. Even suggesting it is, as this would not benefit any voters, most parents whose children would get hit with this would realize how stupid it is.
