You have to read it a few time to understand what tpye of answer they want.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

wow 2 3 4 5

 

[blakep267]

its literally impossible. Asks you to spell "backwards,forward". That question has multiple possible answers So even if somebody got it right, its still wrong

 

[throwback1718]

Wow. Jesus Christ. What type of garbage is this ?

 

[joepac12]

Sus

 

[melo0115]

Black people ain't ****.. Is what this test was trying to say..

Isn't the literacy rate still messed up in Louisiana?

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

#20 ? :x

Is it a trick question? Having you spell "backwards" normally? Maybe "sdrawrof"? I'm wanting to know!

28. Divide a vertical line in two equal parts by bisecting it with a curved horizontal line that is only straight at its spot bisection of the vertical.

 and here it goes

 

[Sir San Diego]

 and here it goes

But slavery was a million years ago, why are black people still angry? Racism ended a while back so why are we talking about this?

I don't know which is worse, the overt racism of then or covert racism today. At least we had a known enemy at that time, now we get lulled to sleep and duped into defending racism.
