I think very deeply
I've had the "you sound so articulate", but long time ago. The other backhanded compliment is "you know your stuff" 
Which backhanded white compliment do you hate the most?
- Thread starter Adeptus Astartes
- Start date
None have dared to say any of those to me as an adult.
As a kid, I was always told I was the smartest African
Fukkin hated that shyt even at 12.

"you're so polite...are you Canadian?"
I'm surprised no one has voted for the natural talent one. It implies you don't work hard and your success is a product of luck.
I've never heard that one personally.
"your one of the good ones" or "You're different than the others" are two I've heard too many times.
I along with some of my brehs and brehettes got that a lot growing up running track.
“Freak athlete”
“fast twitch”
“physical specimen”
All things to discredit black athletes and their hard work.
I got it once or twice during football and wrestling, but the "You're So Well Spoken" is one I still get to this day which is fukking
because it's like "How TF do you expect me to sound?!"

I see none of you are ruthless..
You're supposed to hit these swine cacs with that shyt first.
'You know Kyle, you're one of the few good ones. You're so well mannered and kind, I could bring you to the cookout and not expect a mass shooting'

This was in 2010 when I was in college and working a security job. I worked 11pm-7am. The site was a data center that was under construction. Basically all I had to do was look at the monitors for any activity. Nothing happened so all I basically did was study for classes and do homework for about the first few hours then basically watch a movie on my laptop or watch videos on YouTube, read comics, etc.
Anyways one of contractors came in early one day, around 5:00 am, and made small talk with me. I didn't know if she was trying to holla or whatever. She saw one of my text books on the desk and said "it's nice to see young men like yourself make something of yourself! Your not like the other guys out there. Your so handsome, articulate and intelligent!" I gave her the look of a combination of

It probably happens more to famous musicians and athletes if race pushed that conclusion
I think lazy people in general fall on the natural talent regardless of race
All of them. I mentioned this years ago but I got the "You're one of the good ones" back in high school. Pretty much set myself up for it when that bytch randomly confessed she's not cool with black folks. Asked her why she been talking or even sitting next to me the whole semester if she felt that way and then she says it. 
Had to calibrate the sensors and made sure I wasn't giving off token nikka energy after that.
