  I thought so. Too many people use it as a perjorative when it really is merely an absence of knowledge. Not a bad thing itself, but something to “cure” for sure. Thanks for the post!

    I try not to judge ignorance as a moral failing, at least not of the ignorant person.

      I am the same, but it can be problematic. I was at a wedding recently and drunkenly stumbled into a group of (white) people having a conversation about gun rights and how if they killed someone in self defense and there was a single person of color (not the word they used) on the jury they would be found guilty of murder.

      I innocently assumed they were normal folks who were just a bit confused and began trying to enlighten them. It was not received well.
