After changing its usage rules last month to capitalize the word “Black” when used in the context of race and culture, The Associated Press on Monday said it would not do the same for “white.”
The AP said white people, in general, have much less shared history and culture, and don’t have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.
“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.”
Who even knew white supremacists did that?
The fake news will fall in line and capitalize black but not white.
This is so divisive. In the past, they capitalized white but not black. These people are ridiculous. Capitalize or don’t capitalize both.
The National Association of Black Journalists and some Black scholars have said white should be capitalized, too.

Yes, it’s just another way to create division. Maybe the geniuses should reverse the alphabet to go along with their ssenhsiloof.
Since the NBA is 75% black players I would say whites are being spit on
“NEGRO” is the correct word for black and “CAUCASIAN” is the correct word for White
Can we still capitalize Caucasian? This is not about equality or equity for blacks.. It is a vandetta and an agenda of oppression against a particular race of people.
Glad you see it for what it is…there are many well meaning White idiots…and Christians too…that will be in for a very rude awakening ( if they even get the chance ) and will come to understand how tens of millions of Russian and Chinese nationals were “obliterated” in just the last century…and nearly a billion “infidels” in the last fourteen…too late…History is being expunged right before our eyes…and WILL be repeated with a vengeance…
without white technology Negroes would be posting using a tree trunk and a stick sitting in front of a grass hut with no cloths on!
They’re being racist! How do they not see it?
Ignorance is blind…and ignorance has for nigh on forty years has been the guiding principle of the Main sewer Stream fake Media,,,
