"When speaking of a culture, ethnicity or group of people, the name
should be capitalized. 'Black' with a capital 'B' refers to people of
the African diaspora. Lowercase 'black' is simply a color.” For her,
capitalizing the letter is about recognition for the Black community and
empowerment in her own identity.Jun 28, 2022

 Except they don't capitalize white when it refers to race.

Who the fuck is they?  What the rules say and where language has evolved to are often two different things.  Regardless, you couldn't be more disingenuous or confused.  Using a small w for "white" has you rushing to the defense of such a thing, but someone on this group frequently using ebonics would have you crying like the bitch that you are.  Agree or disagree?
