(
ThyBlackMan.com) As you may be aware, as noted in one of my prior essays, some of the oldest mathematical artifacts including the Ishango bone and a piece of baboon fibula with 29 notches, dated 35,000 BC found in the mountains between South Africa and Swaziland are preeminently recognized as documenting the existence of math prior to the establishment of Europe. Now some were disturbed that I accurately stated that Euclid was born in
Africa and was of African origin but that is beside the point. My current concern is that this direction in pedagogy that purports by inuendo that math is bad, that black people are bad at math and ergo math is a racist construct is in a simple form ridiculous.
