180. I understand that part, making comparisons.
But I have read several people on this thread who I assume to be black complaining about simply being called "articulate" with no mention of any comparison being made.

If I as a caucasian tell a black person "you're well informed" is that going to be considered an insult? Is that statement implying that most black people are not well informed?

From my point of view, most Americans, black or white are not "well informed". My own daughter who is on the Dean's list in college I don't consider "well informed" about many of the things that I care about, mostly politics.
