Most Ignant thing you've heard in class/anywhere

Got this from a facebook group entitled "you say some ignant sh!t in class, I should cut you, but I want to graduate"

I know there have been more than one instance when you're in class, having a conversation with people, or just listening on others' convos and you hear someone say some ridiculously ignorant comment, especially in regards to sexual orientation, race, class, gender, ability, religion, etc.

What situations have you been in that you'd like to share?

Most of mine didn't come about til college..well h.s. yes but the college ones are more shocking cause..well we're all supposed to be 'smart' right?

In my Anthro class on Race & Identity, we were talking about the correlation between Race and Class, this one dude goes on to say the following:

"I don't think there is a correlation between race & class, I mean I watch a lot of 'cribs' and they always show the Black rappers with the big houses and large chains"

this came after he touched on mobility of Blacks in America:
"I think we'll see a female president before a Black one, but Black people can be rich without having to be president, like basketball players and rappers"

One this year, that had I allowed myself to do what I wanted to do, I would've been ejected from my university PRONTO!

I'm a sociology senior and I was in a Soc 101 course..i needed a blowoff course so I took it, but I knew it was going to be hell because I was with freshmen who had the whole world figured out..ironically it was the poli sci, pre-med seniors who were totally clueless.

the MONDAY after the Northern Illinois shootings occurred the professor decided to ask us to analyze the profiles of school shooters who are dominantly white middle class males, I respond with:

Me: well if we are looking at it sociologically, wouldn't the angst be a construct especially with regards to White Heterosexual Middle Class Christian Males
Prof: Let's not assume they have everything made for them, anyone else
Pre-Law Student: Well alot has to do with the amount of pressure we have to succeed, but you wouldn't know anything about that

Well I responded with 'that doesn't justify someone killing someone else, and excuse me I grew up in a poor neighborhood to a poor family and I still made it here and I don't know about pressure to succeed?'

Man, I wanted to kick that dudes azz for saying that, how is it our 'future' can be so IGNANT
