Am I the only one who thinks this?

I have always found it really weird when people say "Obama was/is articulate" . The I started hearing people say, "he/she is articulate" when referring to "minorities." Is the assumption that minorities cannot talk? Or express their feelings/ideas?

I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.
