What would he have been called if a white person had said what HUkingPIKE said?

If it wasn't condescending, how can you take offense to it?

Articulate is defined as "Expressing yourself easily or characterized by clear expressive language," so you can say something extremely offensive and be articulate.

I think very few people in general, let alone on this board, are articulate so I appreciate those that are. It would be sad if "Articulate" became an insult in the Black community.
