the founding fathers only wanted smart(educated) people to vote for a reason

but then everyone turned that into racism

Even with the most charitable interpretation of your statement, that still just leads to those in power voting for things that favor them over people without power. As can be easily observed at any time in American history, if not all of human history.

I would really like for intelligent, informed, benevolent people to be in charge. But you can't enforce benevolence, you just kinda hope it's really there, and otherwise carrot and stick everything.
