Just when you think the stupid is so overwhelming it can't get any more profound... this asshole comes out with this

""Wouldn't life for blacks in America today be more enjoyable and successful if they would only learn to appreciate the value of a good education?" "

I don't know Sir, why don't you ask any of the black graduates you know? Why not come over to my University here in Northern Maine - and ask them if they appreciate the value of a good education. They're working their asses off and I have no doubt that at least the majority of them will become productive and decent members of society. I have no doubt at all, Sir, that they will become far better educated than you. You were a teacher? Seriously?

I strongly suggest that you return to school. It seems that you do not appreciate the value of a good education.
