3. It is because it is assumed you mean

Wow I would not have thought a black man could be eloquent. So you think it worth mentioning it if he is. With white men, it goes without saying and you don’t have to mention it.

It is suggested you would not say this about a white man because it would not strike you in any way.

It’s funny you mention Dubya. With him and the Dotard it is harder to come up with someone white to say it about. Biden the gaffer isn’t much help either. Bill Clinton I recall was said to speak for too long.

JFK was well spoken. But that’s a long time ago.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
