This comes from a practice of describing black people in the U.S. approvingly with adjectives like "clean and articulate," with an implication that this was surprising in a person of color. American racial politics can be a linguistic minefield... | |

Persuasive comes from "persuade", which means to convince someone using words or other means. When used as an adjective, it is most commonly used in the sense of being persuasive with language. | |
