[196] While capitalizing “Black” goes against the typical standard used by media outlets and the AP Stylebook, we have chosen to capitalize in this book out of respect for the opinions of many Black authors who prefer to use it. Here’s how one author explained his choice: “I have chosen to capitalize the word “Black” and lowercase “white” throughout this book. I believe “Black” constitutes a group, an ethnicity equivalent to African-American, Negro, or, in terms of a sense of ethnic cohesion, Irish, Polish, or Chinese. I don’t believe that whiteness merits the same treatment. Most American whites think of themselves as Italian-American or Jewish or otherwise relating to other past connections that Blacks cannot make because of the familial and national disruptions of slavery. So to me, because Black speaks to an unknown familial/national past it deserves capitalization.” Online. dcentric.wamu.org/2011/10/when-to-capatalize-black-and-white/index.html. Accessed 18 Jul 2014.
