The shared heritage reasoning is bullshit. The white supremacist line is bullshit pandering and shows a lack of a spine.BennyBeaver said:Please just read the headline, then get OUTRAGED!
The National Association of Black Journalists and some Black scholars have said white should be capitalized, too.
“We agree that white people’s skin color plays into systemic inequalities and injustices, and we want our journalism to robustly explore these problems,” John Daniszewski, the AP’s vice president for standards, said in a memo to staff Monday. “But capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.”
Columbia Journalism Review, the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, NBC News and Chicago Tribune are among the organizations that have recently said they would capitalize Black but have not done so for white.
“White doesn’t represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does,” The New York Times said on July 5 in explaining its decision.
CNN, Fox News and The San Diego Union-Tribune said they will give white the uppercase, noting it was consistent with Black, Asian, Latino and other ethnic groups. Fox cited NABJ’s advice. -
I gave more than the headline, you racist. Nice to see you are embracing your racism by saying all “Black” people are alike, and should be grouped that way.BennyBeaver said:Please just read the headline, then get OUTRAGED!

So I guess my inappropriate statement on the John Lewis thread is really very accurateNorthwestFresh said:
They’re all alike, remember, because of skin hue. The Associated Press and NYT say so and that means it’s true.SFGbob said:"White doesn't represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does," The New York Times said on July 5 in explaining its decision.
Interesting. So a black person living in Brazil shares a culture and history with a black person who lives in America based solely upon their shared skin color.
They all look alike
AP is my source -
My point was that some media outlets and black scholars capitalize White too. Not all media are the same. Unlike posters in this thread that paint all with the same brush.MikeDamone said:

AP says they will review their policy over time.

The press is 93% rat. Everyone should be concerned about that. The AP being racist should also concern everyone. -
Then again, may the AP is on to something.
