Of course they have universities in Africa.
But we don't know what it actually is.
She is right with one thing... equations are not the only way to explain gravity. We can measure it. We know how it behaves to an extent. But we don't know what it actually is.
What I never understood, there is equality, right? Every color is equal.

You mean I could wake up one morning to a news headline, "Law of Gravity Repealed!"?

Their new theory goes something like this...
WHITE = Antarctica = Earth = Full/Normal Gravity Levels
BLACK= Dark Outer Space = ZERO/No Gravity Levels
Therefore, given the divisions between WHITE and BLACK, this means that Gravity is Racist.
Since Gravity is an important part of Science, this also means that Science is Racist.
Since Science is racist, it means that All Universities must be shut down immediately and all Black students should be given lots of money and attention, because of the University closing down.
Anyone who disagrees with this is RACIST.
That would be funny, sadly though it's pretty accurate in todays PC, affirmitive action and white guilt world.
Shortly , they will invade with their Nucelar Engineers , yes such as sound "Nu-ce-lar" because the whites write and pronounce bad the word "Nuclear" .
We cannot be responsible for our ancestors deeds good or bad or their mistakes...
...giving pardons to homo sexual's convicted in the past under laws that were in place at the time...

We cannot be responsible for our ancestors deeds good or bad or their mistakes...Why can't or shouldn't you? And what does "responsible" mean to you in this context? ...<much philosophical stuff goes here>... so the main issue here is the merit, the moral value of the acts, but for sure we have to recognise the contribution of good or bad acts of our ancestors in almost all aspects of our life. But if we recognise such a contribution then ...<some more philosophical stuff goes here>... and so the right thing to do is
What I never understood, there is equality, right? Every color is equal.
Legally there is equality, yes. That's about it. But when you look around there, you see every kind of job, or region has a fixed color. (Except for the little initiatives to create equality in practice.)
We cannot be responsible for our ancestors deeds good or bad or their mistakes, we can look at them and hopefully learn though. The modern craze of apologising for our ancestors mistakes or wrong doings infuriates me, an article in the news last night was about giving pardons to homo sexual's convicted in the past under laws that were in place at the time, this seems absolutely ludicrous to me. The government of today was not responsible for the laws passed back then or the enforcement of such laws (all it can do is repeal such laws). Might as well give pardons to all the people that got deported to Australia in the past for pinching half a loaf of bread or the people who got executed for theft in the past where dose it stop all this hand wringing and self flagellation. If you keep on down the track of past mistakes or wrongs especially perceived wrongs to one self or nation you end up with the mentality of ISIS and Al-Qaeda.

I suspect something other than an apology is due for forcing people to leave a cold, rainy and crowded island and go live someplace with a temperate climate and lots of room. That is another problem with apologies and reparations. Sometimes the offended parties have done quite well, better than they probably would have if left alone. Sorting out what is "fair" is confusing and a waste of time. Hard enough to figure out what is fair going forward.
It’s been my experience that those who talk like you are usually ones who are
a.) Sitting in a nice cushy cash for life government job.
b.) Already made their own financial security and don’t mind if others now make the sacrifice so you can feel intellectually and morally superior. Sitting up on your ivory tower is a saying that comes to mind.
More hypocrisy goes here…
There is nothing stopping you or people of similar view points from donating your time or a certain percentage of your cushy pension (no doubt from the tax payers’ tit) to the poor unfortunate souls descendants whose ancestors were wronged hundreds of years ago.
Considering at one point in time pretty well every society or individual has had an injustice done to them when exactly would you like us to stop reflecting? I believe we learn from our past but to expect others to pay for things done hundreds of years if not longer before they were born is ludicrous. Trying to right a wrong done hundreds of years ago by actually repeating them against a group of people is also ludicrous. Sometimes people just get away with shit, live their life and die and therefore can’t be punished, that’s the way it goes sometimes it’s not right but its reality. Punishing others for it is just wrong.
More doses of reality go here…

Example:
Innocent children's cartoon, where complaint(s) were about some moving visuals where they claimed it was religious/sacred writings. Despite the author(s) or similar, saying it was just random text. They were forced to pull the entire program.
