is ignorance bliss??

I was reading an article this morning about God's Gift Achiuwa, a forward from Nigeria who plays at Erie Community College. Yes, God's Gift is his real name, which I thought was interesting! The problem I had wasnt so much with the article, but the people that commented on it and how ignorant of comments they made in regards to his name and him being black and saying how all black people name their children "ghetto" names! I am baffled that still today people think like that and have so many negative things to say for no reason. Is it that people have nothing else to say about anything or is this really how people think and when has it ever been cool to be ignorant?

Granted people, not just "black" people do things that make you say, WTF, but who are we to question and judge and make comments. Seriously, doesnt the whole if you dont have anything nice to say, say nothing at all mean anything!?!
