Wow. So this is what the great American Civil Rights Movement has devolved down to: angry/hurtful responses to in inarticulate old man’s inartful attempt to say nice things about one of his colleagues.
No, its not about child poverty, teenage mothers, absent fathers, seemingly ever present violence and drugs, a 25% incarceration rate, gangs, substantial lack of buy in to the positive outcomes of educational effort or insufficient investments in minority communities.
No my friends, it all about different interpretations of the use of a word. What a joke this is, fueled by people who have unclear agendas. Or is there a clear agenda…victimization?
The problem with the term 'articulate' is that we rarely see it used in reference to white guys.
What?
My god! Google the word “articulate” in conjunction with Clinton, Cuomo, Churchill etc. and prepare to spend hours following the links that are retrieved.
“Lorna Bingham of Des Moines said she was impressed by how articulate Clinton* was. "I didn't realize she was such a good speaker.” -Washington Post
Note: HRC is not a "guy". So, should she be pissed?
“Like Churchill, he is extremely intelligent and articulate. Like Churchill, he is a Christian. He is, of course, Newt Gingrich.” –The American Thinker
Amazing.
