    I’m one of those people who still notice when I meet a Black person who is well-spoken, articulate, and informed on issues outside of sports, music, and gossip. The reason I am is because they are relatively rare, especially among American-born Blacks. The person who said this is giving you a compliment. A backwards, insulting, and wrongheaded compliment, but a compliment nonetheless. Much like the numerous Blacks who have told me I’m ‘cool’, ‘tough’, ‘funny’, etc. for a White ‘boy’ (I’m in my 20s). They mean half-well, but still wish to seperate themselves like your boss.
