Why is “white” always in lowercase, but Black is uppercase, at NY Time?

[drudge X]

Yeah maybe. For me it's always like having to think which is which.

I learned German, so capital letters for nouns isn't such a weird thing, but it massively messes with me when writing English (when I speak, the capital letters just flow naturally). The worst one is "century", I'm always writing "20th Century" and I have no idea why.

Perhaps for people "white" covers a lot of people, Irish, Italian, German, English, Eastern European, all have their capital letters, whereas "Black" is considered one.

Which would change how "racist" it looks.

If white covers many, then call them Europeans. If black is consider as one, then we may as well capitalize yellow because Asians are yellow skin.

The only reason I believe the media capitalize black is because majority of blacks don't know their roots unlike whites and Asians. White people can tell you their ancestry history as with Asians. Most blacks that were brought here as slaves probably have no idea where they came from or the name of the country they were living in prior to being sold because there was no written language and no map.

But the white people are not Europeans. They're Americans.

African Americans are Americans, not African. They could call them "European Americans", but don't, and never have.

And the question here is, why would anyone care?

It's not something of substance, most people won't notice, it doesn't impact anything. People do this, or they don't.

What does matter is that poverty for black people is much higher than for white people. What matters is that black people are more likely to live in ghettos. What matters is that politicians do nothing about this.

In the UK the Labour govt from 1997-2010 did something about it, and the areas where poorer people live are less worse, the crime is less bad, the opportunities are better for these people, education is better for these kids.

In the US, everyone moans about things that have no substance, like this topic, and does nothing about the things that have a bad impact on the US and race relations, offering only excuses that it's all the black people's fault and they need to get over themselves, that they can't get a job when hillbilly Joe down the road gets a job as a cop with no experience, no skills for the job....

30 years ago, no one capitalize the word black. What caused the suddenly change that capitalization of the word black becomes a political topic? I say it's the same reason why blacks are calling math or classical music a form of white supremacy. How many blacks called math and classical music white supremacy back then? None. Blacks push, whites push back and that is why race relation in this country is so bad now.

The are many issues that blacks really need to get over. This is not a perfect country by far but still the best where minorities have a chance to become millionaires through hard work. Is racial preference still a thing, certainly. It's happening in every country on earth and I don't expect perfection. Asians face discrimination but you don't see them looting and burning down businesses. They are very good at defying racism. No matter how much racism they face, they still can come out ahead and shut critics up.

There are times people need to accept "good enough". Anyone saying good enough never is is full of shit. In life, you need to pick your battle and don't expect to come out ahead every time because life isn't fair.

30 years ago nobody did it, and now they do, and still real things impact people's lives, and the capitalization of "Black" doesn't.

Democrats are just as racist now as in their early Klan days. Some things never change.

From Elons X page? This is a good question. Why would a national news organization show such racism towards white people?

Why is “white” always in lowercase, but Black is uppercase, at the NY Times?

The NY Times is deliberate, precise and comprehensive in its anti-White racism.

It's all part of the effort of the New York Times to change the history of America. To remove the white man as important in Americas founding, and to elevate the black man as the real contributer to the founding of America.

The white man is simply the evil slave holder.

The New York Times is behind the 1619 Project which is a curriculum now being taught in Public Schools, which is part of this same effort, and capitalizes black but not white. You can see the affects of this teaching in PBS tv channels where they constantly preach 'America Reframed'.

The New York Times and the 1619 project are wanting to 'reframe America'. To do so they must twist, and lie about real history. But that doesn't matter to them as long as they elevate the black man over the white man.

It is nothing but black racism. And if you object, you are just a white racist.

One word, motive.

 

[Unkotare]

They cater to the arrogant black radicals who believe the world revolves around them, that demand the word be capitalized
