I'm in the mood........
Nobody mentioned black intellectualism.... what was mentioned was your parochial view of what constitutes "blackness" and you revealed this by having some sort of need to ask if he is black, which hilariously now brings me to point 2.
If you had shared personal messages with homie would it not have been fitting or revealing in said conversations what his background was? And if you did share such a "bond" where personal messages are sent, why would you not restrict the exchange to said space instead of this arbitrary attempt at being captious?
And now the fun in point 3......Every individual who holds post secondary degrees is highly cognizant of the fact of how little we know and as a result would in no way lead with a claim of "being smarter than you"....... especially as an ad hominem attack.........
ergo.............you revealed yourself without realizing you revealed yourself...
