I'm not with the grammar or spelling police and I'm not pointing at an individual FReeper but it happens on many threads concerning black people.

The word “black” is not capitalized unless it is the first word of a sentence or is someones name, It's a color, an adjective. Many liberal writers capitalize it, please don't fall into their liberal grammatical garbage.

It's like finger nails on a black board , when I see it.

Yes, it's on this thread too.

I capitalize the word Black when referring to the people as opposed to the color black. I have no idea why I do that, just my own way to differentiate. I am certainly not a liberal but will continue to capitalize it. Sorry it offends you, but I think we have more important things to worry about.

Good point! and also, black is not a race, it is a color. The race is Negro, adjective form is Negroid.
