A Black Lives Matter-supporting teacher took to Twitter to assert that 2+2 only = 4 because of western imperialism.
Yes, really.
Brittany Marshalls tweet went viral after she claimed during the course of a discussion about racism, Nope the idea of 2 + 2 equaling 4 is cultural and because of western imperialism/colonization, we think of it as the only way of knowing.
Marshall, who includes her pronouns in her bio, lists her occupation as teacher, scholar, social justice change agent and apparently is studying for a PhD at Rutgers.
Her bizarre statement is yet another example of Intersectionality, the pseudo-intellectual garbage feminist notion taught in all major universities that racism and sexism are prevalent throughout all areas of society and are intertwined.
In this case, Marshall appears to be arguing that maths itself is racist, an argument that has been made by numerous social justice warriors down the years, some of whom question why Western Math is in common use and not other methods such as the way Aborigines count (maybe because were western and not Aborigine).
The notion that 2+2 might not = 4 is of course lifted from George Orwells 1984, when the one party state was able to torture dissidents into believing it could equal 5.
Respondents to the tweet expressed their varied opinions.
Unfortunately its nothing new, remarked one. There are videos circulating showing black students promoting to stop science because it represents white supremacy. They would prefer magic and voodoo.
Scary thing is, this person is a teacher probably preaching the same nonsense to our children, said another.

So, what do yo do when half of society has gone insane?
I have a solution, but I'm nothing more than a glorified mechanic. My "solutions" certainly aren't "PeeCee" but they'd undoubtedly work as well as fixing a broken window on your house or car.
Indeed, what do you do?

Segregation. Let Kunte Kinte and the purple haired lezbos use their own bridges, skyscrapers, and helicopters. See how long that lasts.

So, how long did you make it today before you had to break out the purple drank? I made it until almost noon.
I'm really starting to have problems living with Aunt Jemima, but the alternative isn't tickling my fancy quite yet.
She is really adept at starting a siphon. Gotta give her that.
(Edit 2) I'll bet if you put a Cox .049 engine on those eyelashes, she could fly. Ah, hell, she don't need no steenking engine. She don't need to show you no steenking engine!
(Edit 3) Jim Acosta, CNN, homosexual wannabe reporter: OWWWW! SHE TALKS LIKE BURNING!

In the TV series Magnum P.I. the black guy named T.C. that flew the Island Hoppers helicopter was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. ;)

Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee might disagree.
Morbid? Yeah, but they were black when they graduated.
No disrespect intended, quite the opposite.

Yes, but I'll have to cut off one of your toes and have you put to sleep.
The toe cutting can happen now, but you'll have to spend about twelve years with me during the application process.
(Edit) A broken toe with the bone protruding through your pad is a strict prerequisite.

That works too, but you'd have a good life with me (and AJ).
(Edit) OK, you can be a damned walrus, but I'd really prefer if you were a baby seal. You get out of line, I can club your ass and still make a few bux.

Maybe the lawsuit where I got $10,000 and my health insurance company stuck them stuck them for my $18,000, 2 day stay at Park Center slowed them down.
I did meet a nice gal in there, but after I got a clean bill of health and went to shake her hand while everybody was telling me goodbye, she really freaked out. Very sad, I never got close to her before, just talked, she seemed OK, but maybe belonged there. It was a lot nicer than my joint. I'll keep that in my back pocket, if my A/C fails.
'Eff that, I need to check in now. When I was in there, they were all saner than the assholes walking the streets now.
Shoot, that gal was so nice and pretty, but apparently so afraid to touch another physically, she'd be right in fashion nowadays. Way ahead of her time. Geeze, that was a couple of pretty nice days.
I miss you, whatsyername, normally I see genius when it's in my face.

During a preflight test Jan. 27, 1967, tragedy struck the Apollo 1 mission when a fire inside the space capsule caused the death of the three astronauts slated to travel to the moon. The event changed spacecraft design forever.
President John. F. Kennedy had announced that by the end of the 1960s the country would send a man to the moon and bring him back safely. The space race was heating up and NASA had already achieved human spaceflight in the Gemini and Mercury missions.
Apollo 1 was to be the first manned mission of the moon landing program, designed to test out the setup by orbiting Earth. The launch date was slated to be Feb. 21, 1967 with three experienced crew members Command Pilot Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Edward H. White and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee.
All three were inside the Saturn IB vehicle during a launch simulation when sparks ignited a flame. The high-pressure pure oxygen environment fanned the flames and the crew struggled to get out of the capsule. Flammable foam pads and nylon netting spread the fire to the cockpit and communication was lost. The hatch door, which was meant to keep the astronauts safely inside during spaceflight, was too hard to open due to internal pressure.
Technicians struggled to open the hatch door and attempted to put out the fire but were unable to do so before all three crew members were dead. Damaged wires were found to be the cause of Apollo 1 fire.
The tragedy was a big blow to NASA and subsequent investigations led to major changes in the design of the lunar module. The hatch door was improved to be easily opened in an emergency, flammables were removed and the pure oxygen atmosphere was replaced with an oxygen-nitrogen mixture. The crew members who perished are remembered at several memorials and a patch from their project was even left on the moon by the 1969 Apollo 11 spaceflight.
Gus Grissom was supposed to come to our Grade School and give a speech to our graduating class in 1968, but the tragedy in 1967 put a stop to that.
What they did was to change the air inside the capsule from 100% oxygen to 80% oxygen and 20% Nitrogen.

Beetle Nut was hallucinogen and it turned their teeth red. Then the wired up joints forced you to make a head or heart shot to stop them. :-O

I used to work in Grissom sometimes in the 1980s. I got arrested on my way out one day on my way out after after working on some equipment at the base service station by the guards at the main gate. I was heading to Fout's Tire(?) in Kokomo on 31.
Anyhoo, I was blasting down the main road at about 3mph, gawking at all the old jets parked alongside the road. I guess I missed a stop sign at the corner of Lancer and Thunderbolt Rds. or something.
I didn't see the guys in their old-timey M-131 jeep trying to chase me down, because the long wheelbase E150 van didn't have back or side windows in it. In all honesty, one of them should've just run along side and knocked on the driver's window.
The guys at the main gate waved me over and proceeded to give me hell. For a long time. I'd probably yell if my sidearms (.38 revolvers) were that rusty and crappy too.
Don't remember all the details, but some brass showed up screaming at the guards to either cut me loose or shoot me as a spy. It's funny looking back at that 30+ years later, but shit, they were dopey.
(Edit) Somewhere, about that time, I was also working with the engineers at AMGeneral trying to help them get the wheel alignment problems squared away with the new HMMWVs. The things would eat a set of $3,200 tires in less than 800 miles.
Once I told the engineers that it helps to get all the tires pointed pretty much the same way down the road, that helped a lot. What mean thrust angle?
Sheesh, talk about dopey.

The 122nd TFW here used to fly F-16s. I think they're A-10s now. I never could figure those AF pukes.

You should see some of the places these bounty hunters go into out in Oregon. Some of them are littered with piles of clothing and junk everywhere.
I remember going onto a double wide trailer with the bondsman I was working with. He picked up a pile of clothes in the closet to see what was underneath it. He had been around and seen about everything.
I went in the back door of that trailer and there was a full size pool table in the back room. The door was unlocked so I guess they weren't expecting anyone. And nobody ran out the back door that I could see. ;)
