“For many people, Black reflects a shared sense of identity and community. White carries a different set of meanings; capitalizing the word in this context risks following the lead of white supremacists.”

Kafkaesque

So much new perspective and so many new rules to absorb. We need some kind of efficient way to learn these things. Maybe some kind of (re-)education center, maybe. Hey, it's summertime -- how about a camp? /s

We're in very bizarre times, for sure. Is all this even meant to be constructive (because it's not), or just provocative and divisive (which it demonstrably is)? I can't help but think that the outcome we're seeing (division) is the actual goal.

Funny how you ask if it's meant to be constructive in a totally unconstructive comment!

Not really. You wouldn’t be criticized if you got it wrong, but it’s the kinda thing that would make an English style guide.

You do it the other way and watch absolutely no one care.

I have never seen a style guide make a distinction between skin colors, and I disagree that nobody would care if they capitalised 'white' but not 'black'.

You’re quoting to a reply that replies to a link with a style guide that does exactly that. Open it and your whole world will change apparently.

Reading comprehension must be so hard.

My comment: "I disagree that nobody would care if they capitalised 'white' but not 'black'."

The style guide in question: "why we capitalize ‘Black’ (and not ‘white’)"

Your comment: "You’re quoting to a reply that replies to a link with a style guide that does exactly that. Reading comprehension must be so hard."

Yes, it must.
