I blame the problem on people of yore. What the fuck were they thinking bringing the slaves over in the first place? They fucked up big time by participating in the slave trade. Lazy pieces of shit and now we have to deal with the mess they basically created.
The African slave trade predates European involvement by several hundred years. Europeans made use of a market that already existed. The slaves were captured and put up for sale by other Africans - Europeans purchased what was already available.
Africans were not chosen due to any particular racial animus - rather, it was economics. They had the ability to tolerate tropical climates and had resistance to a number of tropical diseases (remember, the vast majority of African slaves went to the Caribbean and South America to work the sugar plantations, not the American colonies).
I remember some European explorer around 1600 or so was in an African village/community for a short time. He left and came back years later, to find he was now worshiped as a God.
Ditto for the Cargo Cults in the Pacific after WWII. Some people are stupid.
Not just Somalia. All of Africa is sub 85, West Africa is sub 65. And that's on average. Stupidest people on the planet and they know it which is why they want IQ tests to be racist even though everyone else in the world does much better than them. In general, look at the places with the lowest IQ's on the planet and you will see the ancestry of those Americans who are constantly bitching about racism and oppression. No you guys just have inferior brain capacity and that's just a fact. Of course there are exception, notably those who come from high IQ ancestry but have gone to an American university an became retarded as a result.
No, they would be killed out of jealousy for success. There's no way you could have achieved any of what you were doing without cheating, lying, and stealing. Sounds familiar?
There's a reason 70 IQ societies remain 70 IQ and why humanity has a history of leaving, migrating, and settling new lands.
They had an extra 10,000 years by themselves to advance, and the most they could show for it was some sticks, mudhuts, and "kingdoms" that were pathetic compared to the Greeks.
Okay so every time STEAM is brought up I have to complain about this.
A girl who attended the same high school and college as me led the change of the college’s STEM program to a STEAM program. This included a renovation of the STEM Center into a STEAM Center by adding free to use art supplies and classes. Okay, that’s fine. Actually more than fine, it was a pretty cool thing. Anyone students who wanted to learn to paint could go there and get some free lessons/canvass/paint. Here’s the thing, though.
They removed the Community Coding Lab to do this. The CCL was basically the same thing, except open to everyone and taught coding. Twice a month anyone who came in on time to get a computer would get taught coding, and had access to all the same software as the Computer Science majors. And there were more computers there than the CS lab, so a lot of them would do their work there instead because their room would fill up too fast. But nope, all gone.
That sounds typical of the left. Ruin something good and useful to replace it with something that makes you feel good but isn’t really useful.
I find the “artist” crowd tries to make everything you can do into art in some way to justify them doing anything remotely artist. Your aerodynamics on your car aren’t for speed or mileage it’s art. They cool chainmail shirt you made isn’t honouring now old skills and history, it has to be art too despite my gagging a bit in the back of my throat when they try to force it on me. I’m no artist. I work for a living damnit lol.
Yeah, not worth it. Art is fine but it will never be more important than actual useful skills. Like it would be a shame if art ceased to exist, but life would go on. The same cannot be said for engineering or mathematics.
art, or emotion, guides how we use engineering and mathematics, so art/emotion are important, maybe even more important....but should we idolize it? should we idolize the worst emotions (envy? lust?)? probably not...complete removal of art would be akin to complete removal of half (one hemisphere) of our brain
The "A" is important, because it helps them draw fancy stuff with the coffee foam when they become baristas after graduating with a humanities or social science degree!
Ahh yes basic math has always been an issue in inner city schools.
The party of STEM!
One looks at this tweet and suddenly it's not so surprising Africa failed to develop the wheel.

Good point that was really stupid. And at the least after the civil war you fucking send them back.
Bringing slaves to America was the biggest mistake the founders ever made

From 1867 (hence the PI title by today's standards)

Sounds like Somalia didn't change that much, just added automatic weapons.

Neither did Native Americans. BuT fAcTs ArE rAcIsT!
When you think about it was the wheel ever developed more than once, or did it just spread?
Don't you know it's STEAM now? The left added arts as an attempt to infiltrate the hard sciences with Marxism.

That is so fucked up...
There's a reason we don't tell (former) journalists to learn to paint.
Makes sense, since hot, poopy steam is all that those disciplines will produce if the the left completely takes them over.
I'd support teaching a mathematics of art and design patterns in literature.

WTF?!? What's the point of the acronym if you're going to jam all the unlike things into it? On its way to STESJWAM now, no doubt.
Every time you think they've achieved peak stupid...
And basic English.
