 -=> Quoting Joe Martin to Andrew Cummins <=-
 AC> Don't be such a PC moron.  Give an average black guy an IQ test
 AC> and give an average white guy an IQ test.  You know with certainty
 AC> that the white guy's score will be higher.  So, why the silly
 JM> WHere is your evidence for this "statistic", Andrew?  "Everybody
 JM> knows" is hardly convincing...
I didn't say "everybody."  Although, how is it possible that
anyone who knows anything about black vs. white IQ test
performance could know anything else?  It isn't.
 RM>> So we can totally ignore that most of our modern mathematics come
 RM>> from the far east?
 
 AC> Moron, modern mathematics came from white men.  Let's see you name
 AC> a few far easterners who contributed to mathematics and we'll see
 AC> if I can't name more white men who made greater contributions.
 JM> Shucks Andy-Bob dint y'all know it were them AYrabs that invented
 JM> modern mathematics?  Up until then "white folks" was counting with
 JM> lines scatched on hunks o' rock!   Until Eastern math made it to Europe
 JM> white-men had to take their shoes off and pull their drawers down to
 JM> count to 21! 
 JM> Don't believe me?...  Try doing your income tax using Roman Numerals.
 JM> It was the Arabic zero (0) that changed how Math was done... and as we
 JM> all know ... THEM folks is hardly what we'd call white at all, ain't
 JM> they! 
Why didn't you find any fault for RM saying that modern
math came from the far east?  Don't know know that Arabs
are caucasians?  Why didn't you name any names?  What
evidence do you have that Arabs invented "0" rather than
just adopted it because they didn't already have a
well-established counting system?  And, how much of modern
math is a single digit, especially when the Romans
knew that I-I=none?
