Brothas and sistas are running around sharing what they learned from documentaries online and offline about things like: the satanic music industry, scandals of past black leaders, and what they think they heard about this news issue and that one. Yet, the learning doesn't stop. Some are still on the elementary level of what they "think" they know and have yet to bother to do more research; instead they go on someone else's opinion or assumption without checking the facts and using common sense.
There is more work to do besides telling someone, "Did you know that XYZ entertainer sold out? Did you know that many popular church leaders are connected to secret societies?" So what, big deal, if you are still following them. Who cares to make a difference in their lives, if they see you wearing certain designer labels that you know full well the history. Why should anyone bother to listen to you when just the other day you downloaded yet another satanic music artist?
I sat one day to listen to a brotha who had no idea what I knew and what I did online, he acted like a preacher with all his "Did you know..." statements. When I attempted to share what he didn't know, he just kept right on talking attempting to manipulate the knowledge that I brought to the table with his ignorance.
I hate to say it, but some of our people will catch on to a thought here, an idea there, and a fact somewhere in between and then the mind shuts down, there is no more room for knowledge. They ultimately retard their learning. Daily responsibilties suffocate new learning, time for research, meditation, etc. They run with the same ignorant circles only to fall back into their old lifestyles. Further, pride gets in the way and before long, the ignorant isn't really doing much else, but running their mouths.
