I have not made any "emotional generalizations" about anyone.  You just assumed I was racist because I disagreed with you.

But the main reason I have disagreed with you so strongly is exactly because I USE THE WORD "ARTICULATE" TO DESCRIBE PEOPLE and I am offended at the suggestion that if I use it to describe a black person that makes me racist.

that is the whole point of this discussion.  When you start labelling everyone as racist for no good reason then you just offend people.  And that makes things worse instead of better.  Why piss off people who are on your side?

If Bloomberg had made these comments about a black person who he just met and did not know then black people would have had right to be "triggered".  But when he uses it to describe a person who is actually very well spoken and articulate it appears that blacks care more about playing the victim card than actually trying to improve race relations.
