Stylistic question. I noticed Black and White capitalized in this article. Is that an emerging convention?

It's something which is developing and being debated. The Root had a rundown earlier today:

https://www.theroot.com/capitalizing-the-b-in-black-is-nice-...

> At The Root, we’ve had a long-standing debate over capitalizing the “B” in black. Some of us are adamantly for it, while others (myself included) are grammar freaks who think that if we capitalize “black” we would also have to capitalize “white,” and I, personally, have no interest in that as it would continue to center whiteness.

The Root, from my experience over the years, tends to err on the side of being extremely racist. So take it with a grain of salt.
