Rather than merely capitalizing the word “Black,” I think the prestige press should take a lesson from Broadway musicals like Oklahoma!, Hello, Dolly!, Oliver!, and Mamma Mia! and always print the word in italics with an exclamation point:
For example, from the New York Times in the bad old disrespectful days of 2019 when blacks were treated equally with whites in terms of capitalization:
A vast wealth gap, driven by segregation, redlining, evictions and exclusion, separates black and white America.
By Trymaine Lee
AUG. 14, 2019
In more reverential 2020, that would be:
A vast wealth gap, driven by segregation, redlining, evictions and exclusion, separates Black and white America.
But in 2021:
A vast wealth gap, driven by segregation, redlining, evictions and exclusion, separates Black! and white America.
Whatever happened to ‘African American’? Will it got the way of ‘Negro’?
How about turning ‘Black’ into a drinking game? Anytime someone says ‘black’, you have to drink a shot.
Btw, is it brown or Brown?

Your imperialist privilege is showing, Steve. Obviously, the most respectful and inclusive way of amplifying how awesome being black is would be to take a lesson from Afro-Latinx culture.

In 2020, in France, a pogrom against a white family by self-immolation, in full view of all, results in only a small article in the crushed dogs section of the local newspaper. In this country supposed to be ruled by "systemic racism", Theo Luhaka's anus is worth much more than an entire white family, including a 3-year-old. Now imagine that a black family had their home burned down by white arsonists: the media synagogue would rage for weeks and months with unheard-of violence to the point of very likely fatal attacks on whites.
If a bunch of hateful Maghrebis come to your house to burn your children alive in their sleep, you will only have your eyes to cry on.
These races that have arisen from Hell want to kill you, kill your wife, kill your children and they laugh in advance.
The cops will do nothing. No cop will move his big ass from his heated desk to train the rats made totally frantic by the obvious laxity of Jewish "justice".
Many naïve believed these scenes to be reserved for white South Africans.

Dishonesty 1) A potential explanation, race differences, is omitted.
Of course, that omission is mandatory, because the PCGagOrder mandates to never even think negatively about “minorities”
Or, equivalently, the egalitarian dogma, all races MUST be equal, except that whites are despicable racists.
Dishonesty 1b) much less is mentioned that IQ and work attitude and savings attitude PARSIMONIOUSLY explains the wealth gap
Dishonesty 2) the Asian/White wealth gap is not mentioned. It is relevant to the statement, to mention conflicting theories
Dishonesty 3) Redlining has, likely, never existed
Dishonesty 4) Any proof that the segregation etc cause the wealth gap
Dishonesty 5) why not mention the wealth and income gap between US Blacks and African and Haitian Blacks
How about an IQ gap driven by the environment of evolutionary adaptation.
I’ve never gotten why musicals have a tradition of putting an exclamation point at the end of their titles.
Is it a tradition from vaudeville, to try to drum up excitement? Is it like adding the term “Live” to a TV show, to punctuate that the action is unfolding right in front of you, and anything could happen? Is it a subtle way of distinguishing the show from the source material (such as Oliver! from Oliver Twist)?
It’s always annoyed me.
If we all still used ANSI we could have blinking text with little dots going around and around.

Black deserve an entirely new font. Something that really denotes both the group’s unparalleled accomplishments and the horrible suffering these people have endured at the hands of white people.
The new font should also be a default link to the Roots movie and a 12,000 word article on Emmet Till.

Or:
BLACK, do-dah, do-dah!
Question: Does Black! have the same emphasis as Jeb! did back during the ’16 primaries, or does Black! signify something larger, a harbinger of greater importance for US society at large? Whereas Jeb! was a nod to Hispanics and their newfound status as America’s largest minority, Black! suggests not a particular individual but a greater movement that could last throughout the ages, by us an for us. Or is it by us! And, for us!
Or am I wrong about this?

Is there some way all whites could suffer physical pain and humiliation at all times?
It’s a bit easier to type, too. Still, the italics and the banger are a nice touch.
That’s all well and good, but how to translate to the spoken word?
Should one bow one’s head reverentially when referring to Blacks!? (Note punctuation problem with Obeisance Exclamation Rule SS250720-OER.) Or perhaps raise one’s voice? Or if space permits, lower oneself onto one’s knee.
They are all workable, of course, but recalcitrant whites (RWs) may still find ways to slither out from meeting obligations. The wheelchair-bound veteran, for instance, might receive official exemption from kneeling.
Dare I suggest, then, our betters choose an appropriate sound effect, rather than a physical act, to accompany each mention? I’m sure we could carry a device to synchronize every utterance of the word Black! with the agreed-upon sound.
My humble submission is this one. To get the full effect, say “I wish all my neighbors were Black!” as you click on the link.
I bet you feel better already.
“Black” is better than “African-American”. If we have to trade capitalizing it or even an exclamation mark, it’s worth it to be rid of that linguistic train wreck

The issue with “African American” is that it specifically refers to the descendants of American slaves. Using it is a reminder of class and ethnic divisions in the black community, who hate each other just as much as we do. Black Africans and Afro-Caribbeans have a long and storied history of barging in looking down on DOAS while grabbing their setasides.

Taking a cue from flags. You fly a flag upside down if in distress and needing help.
So print BLACK upside down as they are permanently in distress. Or maybe print an upside down BLM emblem.
Also fits with the media being upside down on this BS.
Spoken English presents some problems. Shouting might convey capitalization or an exclamation mark, but what about italics? Perhaps “jazz hands” should be used.
It’s funny that “Black” is now the preferred word, because I think most people have negative associations with that color (e.g., blackmail, black-hearted, black sheep, black market, etc). Also, you think of death, sadness, and mourning. Yet, there are positive connotations, as described here:
https://www.bourncreative.com/meaning-of-the-color-black/
Maybe “African” is just too many syllables, especially when combined with “American”. Perhaps, there could be some abbreviation: “AFs”, “Afros”, or “AAs”. Or just the “As”, which would put blacks at the top of the alphabet.
https://www.abbreviations.com/abbreviation/African-American
On the other hand, the color black is a big contrast with the color white, which supports the divisive rhetoric that is preferred by the Left.
Could you get away with using the phrase “People of Blackness”? After all, “coloreds” became “people of color”. It sounds like mockery, and yet, it has the form of being respectful.
The history of how to refer to black people seems to have gone like this:
“coloreds”-> “negros”-> “Negros”-> “African Americans”-> “blacks” -> “Blacks” -> “Kangs” (year 2030?)
Further modifications are sure to follow:
- blackmail: russian mail
- black-hearted: cracker hearted
- black sheep: karen sheep
- black market: undocumented market

You could put the exclamation mark first, as in !Kung. I think it requires some kind of clicking sound, like a Glock slide being racked.

The font size of the “B” should be 2x the size of the ambient text. The font size of the “w” should be one half the size of the ambient text. Any equality of fonts should raise suspicions of racism in both writer and reader.
Is there any historical precedent for the capitulation to BLM and antifa? The destruction of a whole civilization is normally carried out in the teeth of fierce opposition from the victims. In general, the people dispossessed by the French and Bolshevik revolutionaries were terrified and supported the old regimes’ efforts to avert their destruction. But nowadays the victims are either grovelling to the rioters or indifferent to them. Nation-wreckers never had it so easy.

This is clever. I’m sure you know that in a report of investigation (ROI), police departments and federal agencies capitalize reference to the suspect or ‘person of interest’. (e.g., “SUSPECT exited the building”… “SUBJECT states that he did not know”)
I do like the Irish language tradition of referring to black people as daoine gorm (DEE-nee GUR-um) – literally “blue people”, because the first African tribe an Irish explorer met painted themselves blue.
Of course, considering how Woke the Galiban (left and right) are, that charming bit of diversity will be squashed in the off chance anyone starts to care about the Irish language.
