Media as started capitalizing black as in Black community, Black males, etc. isn’t black used in that way just an adjective and not a proper noun?

It's a new thing. And, no, they won't capitalize white because we haven't endured all that blacks have. No joke.
I'm looking for the link.

I've always done it, when writing about any specific group of people, White People included. It's not a recent thing to me, proper nouns, and all that.

well, yesterday, they were African-American.

Daily name change game to keep everyone off balance. When the rules or floor is shifting, it is impossible to stand.

I've always capitalized Black and White when referring to a person.

The AP stylebook has been changed to capitalize Black in reference to black Americans.

Your mileage may differ.

They don't study grammar in school anymore, it's racist.

Because modern liberalism is a cult. Overuse of chants and slogans are indicative of a cult.

Stop asking so many questions. Follow the herd. Do what you’re told.
