About Somebody, but not about the American people, who are neither smarter nor more stupid than any other large collection of hmans over the last 5000 years.

In a recent interview with an Illinois NPR reporter, Bobby Seale sneered at the "new" Panther Party on several grounds, but one of them was that they "hated" whites. You can't hate a whole category he said. It is just as stupid to explain anything by positing general stupidity.
