Don’t want to be sued for slander. Sandman put the fear of G-d into them.

As an aside, why is “black” now in caps? It’s a color, not a nationality. “African American” might be in caps, because it is explicitly nationalistic, but it’s awkward to use constantly. Too many syllables, pompous sounding, too. But if “black” is now in caps, shouldn’t “white” be, too? Since there are now gender identities, will “boy,” “girl,” “tranny” and “gay” soon be in caps? I’m just lazy, and prefer not to depress the shift key for frivolous reasons connected with wokeness. I do hope the Chicago Manual of Style’s latest edition hasn’t brought about this change. Has it? I don’t own a copy, so would like to know. If it did, we are on a slippery slope. Soon “cat” and “dog” will be in caps, too.

blacks are elevated to the highest throne in our society... above the law, above criticism, given extreme deferential treatment, etc.

Question: If there is “white trash” can there be “trash of other colors”? What about “trailer park trash or hood trash”? /s

The “AP Style Guide” now explicitly says “Capital ‘B’, lower-case ‘w’”.

The Media is trying to train White people to accept the rule of Buy Large Mansions.
