let the healing begin. This one will be in the history books, National Holiday:

quote:

Effective immediately, the USA TODAY Network — one of the nation’s largest print and digital media companies — will capitalize B when describing Black culture, ethnicity and communities of people.

Wait I thought the preferred nomenclature now was “Person of Color”(which pretty much means Colored Person)
And that “Black” was racist?

I love how they all scream about systemic racism, but so far the only solutions provided or discussed are hilariously arbitrary. If racism is so pernicious, then there should be obvious answers available for implementation.

Why don’t they capitalize the whole word BLACK.

Were they doing it for other groups and just forgot to include “blacks” or is this the only situation?

Today should replace Columbus Day as a national holiday.

Will the capitalization rule apply when it precedes the word "suspect"?

You know...

I have a level head with everything going on I feel like.
I get the outrage. I don’t like the riots but I understand it. I get the cries for change.

This is stupid. Blm doesn’t want equality they want superiority and this makes that obvious.

How does this make that obvious? Did BLM demand this from USA Today?

Will they capitalize white? No, because no one does. Because that’s stupid.
