Prometheus 6

Do you remember when "the compliment" was, "He speaks so well!" That was actually the term Chris Rock used when discussing white folks' reaction to General Powell.

Mr. Rock actually shined a light in a dark place, much as he did with the Black people vs. Niggers skit. And it strikes me white folks heard that message. They decided to do something about it.

They started to say, "He's articulate."

As though the specific word were the problem.
