Don't underestimate the stupidity of street people.
Those from the streets, those from the trailer parks, those from the tidy but lower class neighborhoods, I know from experience they're not as dumb as often portrayed despite a great many being exactly as dumb as portrayed (though many are undereducated they aren't morons and many are still quite smart even if they have a ways to go in catching up with formal education, tho some are flat out smart and caught up despite going to a bad school). In contrast, I've also taught a lot of rich kids from the best private schools who were just as dumb as the dumbest underprivileged rural poor and/or urbanite regardless of color and the ones who came from good prep schools shocked me because they went to the best schools and many had fantastic ACTs/SATs but they'd been taught to test not to think. I've also seen brilliant students from bad backgrounds as well as good ones so I try to keep I try to keep an open mind about it all and give folks the benefit of the doubt until they prove themselves retarded/stoooooopid.
Really K-12 education simply blows right now. It doesn't matter if it's public or private; American schools, outside of a few that still serve to educate which is much harder work, they teach to standardized tests and it shows up big time in college when a kid doesn't know how to write a paper because they've never been taught or is painfully behind the curve in critical thinking skills. Private and public schools alike are rewarded for high standardized scores in different but very important ways and have less incentive to actually educate than they did years before standardized testing became the end all be all.

Generally speaking, most Americans lack a decent formal education, and are fairly ignorant of anything outside their small world.
These assholes in Ferguson though, they blame everyone else for problems they've caused.

Please shorten your sentences, this was very hard to read.

It's unfortunate but these people are statistically going to be less intelligent as a whole. People who are less educated are more likely to live in poverty and have more kids. Their kids are significantly less likely to get the nutrition they need at an early age, which in turn makes the children significantly less likely to develop the intelligence needed for an education. Which then makes them more likely to have too many kids who don't get the nutrition and development they need, and so it goes.
These are all facts. It's a very sad situation and it unfortunately snow balls. It's why it is so hard for people to get out of it. We can't help this generation, but we can help their kids and help the next. It seems fundamental, because it is, but a good nutrition program at elementary schools will have such a massive impact on these traditionally poor neighborhoods.

As for the comment. You have freedom to say whatever you like. However, when you say shite like that, you should 100% have to fear the repercussions of that statement. Just because you can say what you want doesn't mean you should be able to do so and not be held responsible. At some point survival of the fittest has to override us protecting everyone's individual interests. If you're dumb enough to put shite like that on twitter, you're too stupid to be of any value to our species.
