The vast majority of black people don't consider Clarence Thomas, Dr. Rice, and assorted other accomplished black americans.....as black enough.

Remember the uproar when the black Mayor of D.C. used the word niggardly and was nearly run out of town on a rail? He too had been called not black enough.

They said the same thing about women once. Get a degree in math and you're not "feminine". Fly an airplane and you're not "feminine". Become a medical doctor and you become "masculine".

The eye-rolling irony here is amazing.

No. I do remember the uproar when a mid-level DC bureaucrat used the term. Correctly. And all the usual suspects howled that he shouldn't use it, because they're too ignorant to know what it means. So his boss (the black Mayor of D.C.) fired him. And then quietly hired him for a higher level, better paid job in a different department.
