RE: Not an outlandish assumption for people in general - including black women
You know how they always say that newspapers are written at a dramatically dumbed down level to ensure the masses can read them? Look at the part regarding 9-17 year old's being unable to read a newspaper. The CNN article in question scores an elementary school reading requirement using the Blog Readability Test. Stereotypically speaking, the assessment may be right on the money. However, the delegates will be a much higher caliber of voter (I hope!) in which case the anger is well directed. Still, even if the assessment is "accurate" for the general group - is it something that should be said? I'm not a very PC person myself, but when you're a national voice you might have a responsibility to do so.
