Why are some people so ignorant?

I’m one of the nicest, most kind hearted people you’ll ever meet. However everyone has their breaking point. Every time when I’m playing football (soccer) people under estimate me. When I play, I’m clean but aggressive. Some people don’t like when you play tough defense on them. So they start cursing, fouling and making threats.

Yesterday me and my friend were playing in our church shoes and clothes since we left our stuff. People kept harassing and making fun of us. When they found out we were actually good and defending them well they got mad. They kept talking so much to the point that I had to defend myself. I’m a nice guy but I don’t back down. I can take people’s ignorance to an extent.

Today we are at a park for a BBQ. We woke up at 5am and was there at 7am to secure the area. People starting coming hours later trying to take our spot. There is so much space, but they don’t want to walk far to get a spot. Like if you see someone took a spot move somewhere else. It’s a huge park. 2 people took our chairs without asking and argued when we asked for it back.

I live in the Bronx, NY and that’s how it’s here. People are just really ignorant when it comes to certain things. That’s why I spend most my time in Manhattan or in a better environment. The Bronx is really ghetto at times. People don’t know how to act. That’s why is impossible for us to get good things here.
