There are Three Degrees of Ignorance:
1. Those who don't Know but once presented with the awareness of the Truth, want to learn more about what they did'nt Know.
2. Those who don't Know but when the truth is presented to them, they do not care to learn the truth. 9:1-40(Ignorance: Ignoring the TRUTH)
3. IGNANT...This degree of Ignorance is a unique degree because this form of ignorance is the result of fear and anxiety which causes anger, frustration, and hostility..Dr James R Samuels explains like this:
"In the simplest form anger is the normal emotional response to a blocked goal. Often, if a person's goal remains blocked over time, they will begin to consider the possibility of failure and experience fear, and when we are fearful we also lash out in anger." (pg. 135 in the book Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome by: Dr. Joy Dergruy Leary, PH.D.)
IGNANT is that degree of ignorance, when a person don't know but think they know and when the truth of reality is presented to them they become angry and hostile because they fear the truth which blocks The goal of their false KNOWLEDGE OF SELF. Thus we have the term; "Dat N***a IGNANT!" Have you seen "PAWNSTARS?"
Peace.
