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 never found Obama to be an effective speaker at all. I know that puts me in the minority, apparently, but I found nothing convincing, engaging or intriguing about his oration skills.

Nothing.
