I’ll write it however everyone wants, but I sort of thought it was some idea from the New York Times and not necessarily what the black community wants per se.

        Funny you say that, because the generally accepted style is Black and white. Here’s Microsoft’s style guide for another example.

        TIL

        Generally speaking, capital “W” White tends to have supremacist overtones in print.

        You got what I was getting at. It’s a sign I’ve noticed. Some commenters will make it a point to type White and black or will use constructs like “a black” or “the blacks.”

      I just only seem to think it came from some idea from the NY Times, and I don’t think anyone says White, so it just seems, off kilter I guess I’d say. Of course I will say whatever is proper, but it’s just, odd.
