that's why no one respects black people

i read an interview in Rolling Stone magazine with Mary J Blige today and got to a sentence that made me hang my head, and shake it in shame:

"For the first time in my life, I'm proud of myself," Blige says quietly. "I'm not an ignorant idiot jerk that don't want to learn no more." She lets that sentence hang in the air, [for a second I had hope, but then..] gathering the weight of all the bad decisions she ever made, and then she laughs. "But I must admit-I still have my ignorant moments."

like that last sentence, Mary? Je-sus Christ.
