How to use unintelligent in a sentence?
Vanessa Leroy/CNN Sharif El-Mekki:
Black boys … they often receive messages that you don’t belong, you’re a criminal you’re unintelligent, you’re a problem here, they are actually being devalued in the education system, so how would they imagine being teachers?
Marvin, _Life, the Universe, and Everything_ by Douglas Adams:
That young girl is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting.
These pictures of people on beaches, these videos of young people saying, This is my spring break, Im out to party, this is so unintelligent and reckless. I cant even begin to express it.
The unintelligent have no rights to own anything let alone their own thoughts which they have no choice but to hand over to anyone. Chaos almost certainly ensues in such a case
