Not so long ago, a Black writer convinced me that capitalizing the B in Black, but not the w in white, made sense. I had already made that style decision for my own writing, but frankly, I was just following what Black writers I respect were doing.

Well, haven't you thrown a monkey wrench into that? No offense!

I will keep listening carefully.
