A Black Lives Matter-supporting teacher took to Twitter to assert that 2+2 only = 4 because of “western imperialism.”
Yes, really.
Brittany Marshall’s 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 we’re western and not Aborigine).
The notion that 2+2 might not = 4 is of course lifted from George Orwell’s 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 it’s 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.

Sad this moron seemingly didn’t pass a history course or she would know that modern math as we know it was actually invented by Muslim scholars. Decidedly not white people.
Except she doesn’t care.
Don’t ask yourself why she is spouting nonsense. Ask yourself what it accomplishes.
It’s not really meant to accomplish anything of value … maybe just get her a fat grant from either the government or some leftist NGO …
MUSLIM SCHOLARS IS AKIN TO TRAILER LIGHTS.
Stick with real estate pup. Muslim is not a race. Arab muslims are Caucasian. I hope you don’t think asians are a race also. Do you even know how many human races there are? And can you name them?
Shh, Puppers. Yokes thinks white people invented half the stuff that Europeans stole from other peoples.
what did we steal? slavery? cannibalism? incest? you are the definition of reading ≠ literacy.
We is too many people, dumbfuck. I was talking about the Europeans. If you check with 23nme, you are probably half nigger.
incorrect
2 plus 2 is 4 in base 10 cardinal number systems with whole integers…..in base 3 number systems 2 plus 2 would be 11….roman numerals ii plus ii is iv…..so she has a point that culture affects math….if we had 14 fingers we would likely have a base 14 system……in common core 2 plus 2 is about 5…..abacus ….oh hell…….get me out of lockdown…..arrrrrrggggghhhhhh
I am not much on number or math but I think she is very wrong. You see, 2 plus 2 is 22; if she worked for me at 2 dollars an hour for 2 hours, she would have to pay me $22 for the experience she gained. This also shows the difference in her cultural heritage and mine.
She is correct.
Reparations equals 2 plus 2 equals zero.
See?
And zero equals how much I give a shit.
And, from what I remember, ‘zero’ was invented by Indians (dot, not feather) a couple thousand years ago …
Haha…about the same time the phrase “I don’t give a shit” was coined.
The school district in SEA is going to mandate teaching of a revised math program in the public schools along these same lines — that math is some form of oppression by White folks on the rest of the human race — never mind that 2 + 2 = 4 in any and all advanced nations … you know, the ones that support the primitive, 3d world nations via food and money and technology and allowing them to immigrate to the 1st world.
Here comes ebonics
Doze numbuz iz black numbuz. Ya’ll cain’t deny dat! Jes look at ’em!
Dey don’t add up same as wite numbuz!
“maf be har”
All of reality is racist.
2 + 2 = her IQ
Shee-itt . In Wakanda 2 + 2 = 22.
Thought it was 2+2=1.
(two goats plus two bowls of fruit bat soup equals a wife)
She is completely right. If I take two nignogs and add another two nignogs I get 345,678 dollars of state welfare committed to said nignogs. See, maf not be hard.
This shit gets more bizarre by the day. It seems that just by being black,anything can be made truthful. I mean really who is gonna stand up and correct this moron. Any one that does will surly be rassssict. Sounds like her PHD will be in idiocy. No wonder we are becoming the laughing stock of the world.
When they have a pres. candidate that favors truth overs facts, what else needs to be said?
Dostoevsky said that if you don’t agree that 2 and 2, you should take it up with Nature’s legal department.
I died and woke up on Planet Wakanda.
I’d rather have Brittany teaching my kid math than have homosexual, fake-conservative, butt-fucker Paul Joseph Watson teaching my kid sex-Ed.
Too funny, winnie. That’s why we homeschool to avoid all of the above.
Are gay conservatives not allowed in the Mormon Church? I have never seen anyone accuse PJW of glomming onto kids. What he does with his pecker as an adult with other adults is his own business and not mine. Multiple wives and magic underwear would be way cool though.
Winnie can’t help himself. It’s like a dog whistle, everything is either gay or a hoax. Then again, what can you say about someone who believes JFK and fils are alive and living in a bunker?
You know what they say about those who protest loudest- 22winmag- TPB’s closet homosexual.
Are you closeted, Fatty?
I’m so fat there is no closet big enough.
I can only imagine your peepee looks like a skin tag, Fatty.
Go back to fucking Africa if 2+2 does not = 4. No wonder that continent hasn’t built a fucking thing. Measure twice, cut once as they say.
It depends on what your definition of “2”, “+” and “=” is. Thanks Slick Willie.
Everything I don’t like is rayciss.
Fuck, everything I like is rayciss!
Everyone I like better be rayciss!
I think that they throw this shit out there to trigger everybody. It’s a bunch of idiotic “journalists” armed with the power of the pen. If they tear down the activist MSM instead of statues, things like corona and BLM would die down.
Silly, the whole reason the MSM exists is to create false narratives and outright lies, that propaganda don’t write itself. It’s also out there to manipulate and control. When you see ‘reporters’ on a beach, wearing a mask to protect from a virus that couldn’t survive in windy, sunny conditions then you realize it is all one giant Truman show. Either that or Idiocracy….which has now become a documentary in the same manner that 1984 is now an instruction manual.
Now you are saying the MSM is conducting disinformation warfare but when Winnie says it, omg, hold me back!
Sad. Just… sad.
Ya just can’t fix F’ng stupid!
CD-
It’s the only thing I found that gray tape can’t fix.
Or a little bailing wire/twine
Would that not depend upon how tightly you pulled it and which orifice you covered at the time? It might be best to cover all orifices with several layers just to be sure.
Profile accurately describes her as a “wannabe math person.” Wannabe till the end of her days.
The Little Rascals are at school. The teacher wants them to use various words in sentences.
The first word is love. Spanky answers, “I love dogs.”
The second is respect. Alfalfa answers, “I respect how much Spanky loves dogs.”
The third word is dictate. There is a pause in the room. Finally, Buckwheat puts up his hand.
“Hey, Darla,” says Buckwheat. “How my dick ta’te?”
“2 + 2 equals shut up, proles, and think what you’re told.” –me
“[The] purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.” –Theodore Dalrymple
