I hate math problems like this

 

1. Not white like the answer to the first one!

2. The people in the first story should all be charged with violating and interfering with a crime scene, including the damned clerk.  The sub human Afro-scumsuckians in the second story should be killed, and buried in an unmarked grave, like the local landfill.

3. Guessed the first one - entirely - since the ‘video’ wasn’t released until the trial - dead giveaway that everyone involved was black.

   Second one - just knew - as you said - can’t pronounce those names. Funny (not) how the most illiterate amongst us - come up with the most unpronounceable and unwriteable names. Bet not a one of them - even knows what country (much less the specific ‘people’) in Africa that they come from - just pick and chose amongst a bunch of ‘African’ names to the ones that they like the bestest.

   Worse than animals - as they don’t kill their own for such meaningless drivel.

4. to paraphrase Art Linkletter.... “People are scummy”

   BTW, I remember hearing the polar bear riddle as a kid. I now realize that there are an infinite number of points on the Earth where a bear could make that walk… one of which is the north pole. The rest of them are near the south pole… but since there are no bears there unless they’re visiting from Chicago they don’t count in the riddle. Consider… start at a point 10 miles plus 15miles/2pi from the south pole. Walk 10 miles due south toward the pole. walk 15 miles west, completely around the earth, then 10 miles north… you’re back to where you started. All the points on that 15/2pi circle fit the bill. Same for an infinite number of shrinking circles where the bear walks around the pole multiple times before heading north…
   Too much time on my hands.

5. JimS - I think this only works exactly at the poles. And from the South Pole you’d have to walk North first ... and there are no bears there. But you are correct in that ANY direction is South from the NPole, so there are infinite solutions that supply coordinates ... except they still all start from the same point.

   Warmama, the real truth is that Alex Haley made the whole thing up. Black people over here for a couple generations back in the day had NO IDEA what tribe or nation they were from. Especially since they would have been forced to speak English only, and to be broken off from the group they were imported with deliberately, and to be bred off by demand specifically. So in just 3 generations - 50 years or less - a slave could be from 8 different tribes. And that was nearly 200 years ago. Nor was there much of ANY “roots” movement prior to 1980. Or 1950. Or 1900. Or 1865. Given that false African awareness, it’s no surprise that they come up with completely false “African” names. They aren’t. Not even close.

   Actually, these names are worse than a brand across Toby’s face. They tell the world loud and clear that the person carrying that name is a low-res ghetto rat. “Monica” gets a job, but “Chantelliquana” gets passed over. The best she’ll ever do is work at the nail salon. maybe.

6. Drew, I always took it to mean that you started out from some arbitrary point… as if you’d been beamed down there. After all, to start from the north pole, you’d still have to walk north first from somewhere to get there.
