I think they understand it, they probably just don't like it/agree with you.
It probably has to do with the fact that it came off as racist. It's not cute or clever to use "only white men could afford education" as an explanation, it's actually just racist and completely uncalled for.
It's actually not racist it at all, it's a fact that in 18th century america white, land-owning males were the only ones who were educated. If you think that's racist then you're digging pretty deep.
Why am I arguing about this with you anyway? My point was entirely about uneducated people participating in meaningful discussion and somehow you got that to be racist despite it being factually accurate.
although you can justify it in that way, the people who were educated were racist and sexist, and like everyone else in the world, power hungry. They did things moreso for themselves than for the good of the people, even the fouding fathers wanted to become independent from Britain because they didn't want to pay debts and taxes, but rather wanted to keep and make more money.
also, even though people are uneducated it doesn't mean their opinion is unimportant, it may be weak and they might be stubborn, but sometimes things they say are right, or should be taken into concideration.
the quick fix argument of whether or not it should be banned can go either way, they are supports and flaws in both sides of the argument, and numerous people in the community will not change their opinion.
arguments should be supported by facts, and not opinions, and your view of whoever being stupid is an opinion, not a fact
