I'm not reading anything into it. I just cringe whenever a black person is described as being well spoken or articulate. Reminds me of a bit Chris Rock did.
This is from the book Freakonomics that I'm reading. It analyzes how things you don't think about effect the economy.
Do you think some black parents doom their children's financial/business future by giving them "black" names. Would you have a problem hiring a qualified person named DeJaun or Lakisha as a VP of your company? I think it's a valid point.
