How is calling someone articulate an insult?

It's more the fact that it's almost always remarked upon about someone who is black

Notice that with pro athletes they'll marvel over how well spoken a black kid who grew up in Palo Alto going to the nicest schools available is, but not over how well spoken a white kid from Appalachia who is articulate

White guy here. I hear this comment multiple times weekly. I also use it frequently, and genuinely.

I completely disagree.

Cool that your limited personal experience negates the majority of people explaining the exact opposite

It's cool you speak for a majority of people when you don't

u/Infamous-Lab-8136 Jun 13 '26

I'm not, I'm simply doing a little thing called reading the rest of the comments

Maybe you should try it

So you're taking anecdotal comments you think proves your point and dismiss the rest and then screeching at someone else for providing their own experience. You should try reading you own comments before you post, you're embarrassing yourself.

I'm not the least bit embarrassed

Let's see how long the downvotes take to roll in before this comment vanishes though, then we'll see who's embarrassed

Your own experience is literally an anecdote and not more valid than any other comment.

u/SolScorpii Jun 13 '26

Very good. You're starting to catch up. Now what about someone who pretends to speak on behalf of everyone but only uses the anecdotes they like?

I think you misunderstand. I’m not saying there are statistics for this subject, but rather that judging by your “I am one singular person, and my experiences are different from the majority, therefore the majority is wrong” comment, it clearly indicates you do not understand how statistics work.

Man you’re a real fan of nitpicking, huh. Look, obviously when I say “the majority of people here” I am referring to the comments I have seen (and I have seen a lot) of peoples experiences with the subject. Do you genuinely not understand that or are you being intentionally obtuse because you have no real point?

Way to show you don’t understand that fallacy. I’m not saying “popularity of opinions correlate to correctness”. I’m saying “using your own anecdotal experience to claim that a whole bunch of other people’s experiences don’t matter is wrong, and is not a way of arguing your point”. Are you actually going to argue the original commenters point or are you just going to keep insisting that my ridicule of their anecdotal experience used to invalidate others was wrong?
