Are you under 30 or 40?
If you are old enough to remember the 50’s, you should remember when it was often said by well-meaning white people, until it came to be seen as gauche, precisely because it implied that most black people are inarticulate.
It’s not about whether most black people ARE inarticulate, or whether Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas ARE articulate.
But, it does point out the HUGE hypocrisy of the left .. which automatically assumes all black people are the same cookie cutter people .. I JUST WON’T ACCEPT THAT. I’ve known and worked with so many, many wonderful people from other countries, other races, to ever try to lump any of them into one category.
I know why the left uses that word .. why they do other things; they’re truly racist .. and they just want the world to believe instead that it’s the Repubs.
