An African American psychiatrist was the keynote speaker at a professional conference. Afterwards, several psychologists, two white and one black, were sitting together in the cafeteria eating lunch and discussing his speech.  "I thought he was very articulate" commented one of the white psychologists.  "Yes, and he carried himself in such a dignified manner," responded the other.

Question for the reader: The black psychologist could have been
uncomfortable with the two comments made.
Can you imagine why?
