So you are saying no one ever used the word "articulate" until it was used to insult black people?
C'mon, man. It happens all the time. Lots of people use language in their daily lives, lawyers, salesmen, preachers, teachers, students, etc. Any time you talk about these people doing their jobs it is appropriate to comment on how articulate they are.
BTW do you think the term "articulate" is also an insult to white people from rural areas or the south in general?
