This strikes me as a little silly. Can white people honestly be expected to filter all communication with a black person to ensure that nothing offensive is said? In my view, that style of communication would be inherently racist. Walking on eggshells, so to speak, around minorities really just broadens the racial gap. Isn't this the opposite of what every non-racist is trying to achieve?

If being called articulate pisses them off that much, the black men and women in this article have some serious resentment issues they should try to get under control.
