My thoughts on this topic are pretty simple. First, black men should never endorse ignorance as a way to avoid uncomfortable conversations. One of the ways blacks are kept under the grip of oppression is by keeping us ignorant and disinterested in knowing our history. Secondly, black celebrities must be held accountable for the things they say and do, no matter who they are. Many (actually most) of them are propped up by the white power structure, and there are many cases in which their messages are used to keep black people under control.
