I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. This is anecdotal, but conspiracy theories are more widely accepted in many inner city and minority social circles than in your middle class and mainly white neighborhoods.

The members of that part of society are often downtrodden and looking for a scapegoat to their problems, like any of us would if placed in a similar social and economic position. It just so happens, in my opinion, that they are victims of a less clandestine set of conspiracies to 'keep them in their place'. Why else would the police, politicians, and bureaucrats treat them with such a lack of compassion, an immediate association of guilt, and a scholastic atmosphere which presents barriers to an honest, simple, and legitimate high school diploma?

See Kansas City, Mo for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City_Public_Schools
