Why I'm not happy with the AP's decision to support capitalizing "black."

4. My thought is,..

...black people should be referred to as Black people, and equally white people referred to as White people.

It is in recognition of the dignity and respect of the human person as they are so entitled to.

Also too,.. black people have been too long handed the shit end of the societal stick. To make amends for all that injurious conduct, addressing them as Black people in written format is not too much to ask.

This comes from a White Caucasian person of Middle Eastern heritage and descent. Armenian to be specific.
