Desantis Protect Parental Rights in Education

[JayJay]

@conan

Funny how libs accuse Whites making up concept of race when those very same Whites on this board is always playing the race card…talk about ironic?

Not very smart IMHO…and thus the reason why our education system needs overhaul. It keeps pumping out idiots.

The example that was given was just that…an example, as part of a thought experiment.

The poster used two examples HE made up as an analogy.

Do you know what an analogy is?

Do you know what thought experiments are?

It’s a tool to examine assumptions and spark discussion.

You really do not like to have your assumptions challenged, do you?

There are very few posters who have constructed as many rhetorical defensive fortifications as you have on these boards.

Might have to actually think tnt.

@JayJay

Point to the place in that post where I said slavery started with Africans.

Take your time. I’ll wait.

Did you not say this?

@JayJay

“White” and “black” as ways people thought of themselves wasn’t really a thing until the 17th Century, when a new reason to justify African slavery was needed.

Show me where that says slavery started with Africans.

Take your time. I’ll wait.

[conan]

And there are many internet know it all.

[conan]

You’re the one that brought up African slavery.

[JayJay]

@conan

You’re the one that brought up African slavery.

You haven’t answered my question.

Where in that post did I state that slavery began with African slavery?

[PurpnGold]

@conan

Oh so Blacks didn’t know about White people.

Seriously do you ever listen to yourself?

What
Are
You
Talking about?

@conan

You’re the one that brought up African slavery.

Bringing up slavery in Africa is not the same thing as saying slavery started in Africa. You know this right?

[JayJay]

@conan

And there are many internet know it all.

There are none as know it all as me.

Doesn’t change the fact that you pretty much never expose your beliefs for examination. You hide them behind fortifications or aggressive deflections.

“Jackie Robinson hit the most Homeruns, by an African American, in MLB history in 1915. He averaged 2 HR a game. If he played 50 games, how many homeruns did he hit?”

The answer is zero (0).

@PurpnGold

Then your issue is with with Ron Desantis spokesperson. She was the one who used that example. It wasn’t libs.

Not sure what “issue” you’re fabricating that you think I have.

@Guvnah

I don’t agree with the BOE’s leverage of CRT for the examples given in the link earlier.

Please try to keep up.

[Guvnah]

@JayJay

As was pointed out, your problem then is with Desantis’ Press Secretary, not “Libs”.

Same reply I gave to PnG:

@Guvnah

@conan

Yes…in math question.

Isn’t the fact that Robinson is black integral to his history?

I mean, maybe you don’t want cross lessons in math, but I don’t see how you can speak about robinson in any subject and not mention his race.

[tnt]

@conan

Might have to actually think tnt.

He never claimed African slavery was first. He said african slavery required a new construct to allow it to continue.

@JayJay

Wow that school district is way behind if they are teaching systems of equations in 11th Grade.

Not just “that school district”. Far too many kids need to take remedial math in college to be able to take college level math classes.

[tnt]

Lol…

Of course it is.

But it’s not integral to math. That was his point.

Nonetheless, I’d bet that not a single person reviewing Florida textbooks would balk at a word problem calculating the number of home runs Robinson hit, even if the problem went out of its way to stress that he was the first black to break the racial barrier in the Major Leagues. I’ll even go so far as to say that they wouldn’t nix a word problem that points out how often he was hit by pitches because he was black, and then calculated the ratio of HBPs per game.

[conan]

Why did you bring up Africa?

I’m just questioning the use of the phrase ‘race card’.

I don’t think acknowledging Robinson was black is puling the race card.
