"Thinking" about it. (Not too smart in the first place.) It is contemplated that an intelligent person will not assert they are smart! A wise person (intelligent) realizes that there is only one of two sides to that claim that will be demonstrated. That side is not the smart side. For that reason, the usual comment has been "At the risk of appearing/being stupid". The phrase "At the risk of appearing smart." has not entered into my ears that I can remember.
A question develops whether someone is complimenting/helping or cursing/impeding another person if they comment that the person is smart?
Your decision. Make the smart one.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
