I thought this quote from Andrea Peyser's NY Post article was interesting:
Quote:
|
He is plain-spoken, articulate and a Tea Party conservative. And, in a state of affairs that drives the thought police nuts, Cain, 65, the Republican presidential front-runner, is also black. This makes him the biggest threat to the left since the fall of communism.

At what point can white people stop describing successful African-Americans as articulate? It makes me cringe because of the inference that African Americans can't be or typically aren't articulate. My personal experience is that educated people, of any color, are well-spoken and "articulate." Say what you will of Cain's politics, he is an educated, successful man. Of course he's articulate.
