[I.A.S.K.]

I have identified ignorance my nemisis. Being the superhero that I am I try mightily to combat it.
The scene:
There are five of us. All black women. 2 Nigerians, 1 Nigerian-American/ African American Alabamian, 1 Ghanain American, and Me (African American).
The set-up:
We see the EBT (BET) cheesey commercial with the Dr. King cartoon picking up the little girl. We then begin to discuss Dr. King and Malcolm X. One of the nigerians asks who died first.
The ignorance:
The Alabaman says that Dr. King died first. I look up from my ipod like WTF?? I look it up on google to find the exact date Malcolm died (I knew the year only) and we establish that Malcolm died first. The Alabaman then says:
"its kinda like Tupac and Biggie"
The Nigerian who asked the question then says "so which one is which? Malcolm X is Tupac or is it Martin"
It is then established that Malcolm=Pac and Martin=Biggie.
Sad!
