Parroting vs. Thinking REDUX or Yr Academic Degree DOESN'T Mean You Are SMART



I remember a tepid discussion with a racist colleague who even before ever talking with me was already telling lies about me, as always using other Africans as proxies.
I told her that reality is relative, she laughed as if she'd had a eureka and pointed to the door behind me and asked with jubilance - Is that not a door?
For someone who brags in having a college degree to be incapable of thinking beyond what she was taught, I saw no necessity in further explanation, she just will not understand, because she chose NOT to understand.

Ignorance is NOT knowing, STUPIDITY (refusing to "understand") is a choice.
