20/20: RACIST LANGUAGE HAS A DOUBLE STANDARD

Whites can’t say what blacks can. But the story also notes “Biden referred to Obama as "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean…" He was skewered by some in the press as a racist, but he said that was definitely not his intent. Some were confused -- why was the word "articulate," normally a compliment, now considered racist?” The reporter seems to have quickly forgotten Biden’s word “first.”
