He may very well be six times as stupid as your typical American.
If he can truly convince me he doesnt understand percentages....?
Six times as stupid may be low balling it a bit.
A high school mathematics teacher told me that many blacks cannot understand concepts as simple as negative numbers and fractions, and that most cannot learn Algebra II.
Your teacher source was pretty ignorant if not downright retarded. There is a reason there are thousands of Black engineers, doctors, scientists, etc whos professions required advanced math. You wouldnt probably dont know this since you have no exposure to those professions. You should get a better job and you will be educated.
We get our affinity for math from our homeland where they have different numbering systems more complex than anything that is base 10.
