It is sort of like the problem my mom had when she told the young child to stop trying to crawl up our ladder like columns "Boy, come down from there, before you fall and hurt yourself.' That was the same thing she has said to kids for years. But when it as a black boy, he had a very different reaction.
I guess I have the same problem with ignorance. I am ignorant about the rules of hockey. I am ignorant about who won Dancing with Stars or Survivor. I know enough about baseball that I can follow a discussion by a couple of fans, but that is about it, I am ignorant about a lot of the fine points of it. I see ignorance as a condition that can be changed.
