It was people long ago that used it to slander the people of color & it could / would be used for any one that is Ignorant no matter the color. " He Ignoranted me " just don't sound right.

There are plenty of other terms for "ignorant" that don't have the whole racial connotation & history of slavery, lynchings, segregation etc, that he could have used (that sound right too)
Stop making excuses for him. It was an ignorant thing to say, he paid the price, he apologized. Over....
I hope other people learn from his mistake
Race on!
