"shit from shinola" is an old American phrase to illustrate someone's stupidity. Shinola was a shoe polish and no doubt the black variety and shit had some similarity in appearance, but only a Jerk would not be able to tell the difference when found on his shoe.
There's an English version "He doesn't know shit from dirt pudding". Strangely, there is no such pudding in England and yet in the US there is a "dirt pudding" which is made from oreo cookies and cream.
