“Anyone else notice that black was capitalized but white was not?”

The author is a left-wing millennial who used to write for Huffington Post among other left-wing sites. Wrote snarky items about Melania Trump. She thinks she’s a comedian on her Twitter page. This is what passes for journalism these days.

Thank Social Media for the rise of these garbage know-nothing “journalists” who are as deep as a mud puddle.

Anyone else notice that black was capitalized but white was not?”?

Most news publications in the U.S., what's left of them, have gone (quite literally) to coronating blacks with the capital B, while we filthy whites are condemned to lower case.

Why hundreds of American newsrooms have started capitalizing the ‘b’ in ‘Black’ Image without a caption In recent weeks, many news organizations have started capitalizing the “b” in Black as they grapple with how they have historically covered race. By Elahe Izadi June 18, 2020 at 10:42 p.m. UTC In the span of barely more than week, as news organizations responding to a wave of national protests have wrestled with how they have historically covered race, hundreds have made one small but potent change: They have started capitalizing the B in “Black.” Publishers say they were inspired to make the change after hearing from readers, employees and community leaders, and that it is intended to better reflect the large swath of the population descended from the African diaspora as well as grant the word the same emphasis as other ethnic and racial descriptors. “When people are offended by how we describe their community, we have to listen,” said Cristina Silva, an editor at USA Today and co-chair of the newspapers’s diversity committee, in a statement. USA Today and its affiliated network of more than 260 local papers adopted the change late last week. The Los Angeles Times, NBC News, MSNBC, BuzzFeed and the McClatchy newspaper chain have also moved to capitalize the word. On Friday, the Associated Press announced that it would also begin to capitlize. In a statement, The Washington Post said its editors are still considering whether to capitalize.

That is the new style, I think AP does it. It is spreading, as I have seen it lately.
