I was watching Bill O'Reilly last night talking about the opportunity he had to finally meet the first lady at the White House. He mentioned how impressed he was with her. He mentioned how beautiful she was and how she was so graceful. The he mentioned how "articulate" she was.
I started thinking to myself; as educated as Michelle Obama is and considering her professional background as an attorney, why would one be surprised that she is articulate?
I then asked myself the question if a person is indeed articulate why should I be bothered that he/she is labeled as such?
Now I have to be honest. There have been times I have been complimented on my articulation by "other folks" and I would take offense to the compliment. But truth be told, everyone one isn't articulate. I think we all can agree on this.
Question: Are "WE" and should "WE" be overly sensitive whenever a "brother" or "sister" is complimented by "other folks" on his/her ability to articulate if it is true?
