Editors' note: Star Tribune to capitalize Black as racial, cultural identifier
Editors' note
Beginning today, the Star Tribune will capitalize Black as a racial, cultural and ethnic identifier, joining a number of news organizations across the country. This is in line with our capitalization of other groups, such as Latino and Native American.
We will use racial identifiers only if they are pertinent to the story, and we will seek to ask sources how they want to be named — African American, Black, Somali American, etc. — and honor that. We will not capitalize white; Black describes a shared experience in a way that white does not.
The style change matches recent updates at the Associated Press, the New York Times and other news outlets and comes in response to requests from individuals and organizations in the community and the journalism industry. The Star Tribune's decision also follows a series of conversations among news staff and with individuals and groups outside the newsroom.

That's a weird amount of effort being put into something so trivial.

"Black Fragility" is largely a White-created myth.
Black folks went through a lot of shite in the American experience. They're way tougher than some White folks think they are. The further we stray from Dr. King's dream, the worse things will get.

i agree. i wonder how many hours are spent by their chief editor to ensure that the right race has the right capitalization to guarantee the paper's proper level of virtue signaling?
how many hours a week do you think this has added to his job? I'd say at least 1-2 minimum - what do you say?

This is almost assuredly an extremely white liberal trying to outdo his other extremely white liberal friends. Normal black people don't care about stuff like this.

InB4 Salmon, Spleen, and/or TH03 tell us: this is completely normal. doesn't effect us. change the channel.

So if white doesn’t describe a shared experience, where did I get my white privilege?

I was hoping for Reparations...but, we got that capital B. So, we WON!!!

So the headline 363 days out of the year will be "Black male shot and killed by another Black male"?

So justice has been served. Time to get back to important stuff.
