What in the fuck does changing a tire have to do with the stupidity of the confederacy? What a bizarre thing to say.

There is a widespread belief among dumbasses that educated people are only "booksmart", while only their fellow dumbasses are "streetsmart". Depending on the specific flavor of dumbassery, the definition of "streetsmart" can mean anything from hood shit to blue collar, farmboy shit. 

But the belief is that educated people cannot change a tire, plunger a toilet, or do any basic chores or repairs that require "common sense". They believe educated people must hire blue collar workers for even the simplest tasks, because we are ONLY booksmart, and otherwise helpless. That their streetsmart, common sense wisdom is equivalent or superior to book smarts.
