re: #167 ArmyWife

“Hick Wisdom” is just a term I coined for it. I’m sure someone has come up with a better label. It’s a really odd American thing dating back to Twain’s Puddin’head Wilson’s Almanac and still lives on today with stories like Forrest Gump. The whole “Magic Negro” thing is more recent variation on the same concept. The problem is that simplicity has become confused with stupidity.
