The politicization of the death of George Floyd has had a wide range of effects in the United States.Looking beyond the physical landscape, which is now devoid of a number of historical landmarks, courtesy of intolerant left-wing social justice zealots, how the media writes about the race narrative has now changed. H**l, even Fox News is on board. The company announced Monday that Fox News Media will capitalize “Black” when it is used as an adjective to describe people, a community or culture.The Associated Press changed its writing style guide June 19 to capitalize the “b” in the term Black “when referring to people

OK. I guess we White folks can think about that. What will the Browns and Asians get?

What amazes me most about all of this is how none of what's been proposed actually helps the black community in the slightest, and the black community certainly has problems.

I thought it was racist to call them bLACK. Seems Nigerian American or Congo American or Sudan American was the proper noun.

I thought it was supposed to be African American. So, shall we demand they capitalize White too?? Bye bye, Fox. Nice knowing ya!
Remember, nothing's ever enough. You can keep bowing, kowtowing, apologizing, capitulating, etc. and it will never be enough and they will tell you so. They will still hate you and demand more.

Since I haven't watched Fox for quite a while, and don't plan on doing so, I won't have to see it.

Race is lowercase. Nationality is capitalized. Political correctness be damned. I will not change my writing style for vandals and thugs.

Good idea. I plan on capitalizing the letter “I” each time I write the word ‘idiot’ to describe people on the left.

I just had a second thought… If a capital B must be used when describing the Black community, is it fairly safe to say that if a capital W was used to describe white people that that would be considered racist? That was a rhetorical question.

Rupert Murdoch turned Fox News over to his extremely liberal spawn. Fox news is doomed.

Better be White, then, too, or be a racist organization.

To be fair and balanced will they be capitalizing White?

In my circle of friends and acquaintances are a number of people who are NOT fooled by this virtue signaling from a formerly great news organization. In fact, a ''Black'' friend pointed such idiocy out to me as a virtue signal. Then we had a good laugh and commented on the few news organizations who do NOT do such verbal gymnastics.

A little off topic, but I’m traveling and heard that Hamilton was on TV last night and a black man played Hamilton. Why is that okay, but the white Golden Girls can’t appear with mud on their faces? 😡

Poster 22, and black people are watching Hamilton, played by a black man (with all black cast), as if he were black, and it's something to take pride in. Wonder why he's not hated as one of the founding fathers? Because he's played by a black man. Just like they were proud of the accomplishments of the fictional Wakanda from the Marvel comics. Heck, even our government once listed the fictional country as a trading partner. What the heck is wrong with US? I get really frustrated with people who buy into this, because democrats and leftists have so demoralized and miseducated (hat tip Lauren Hill) them, that they think so lowly of themselves in this day and age where anyone can accomplish great things in this nation of ours. They hate their blackness, desperately crave acceptance from "whitey," and they reject the conservatism that most of them practice and believe in for leftist beliefs that go against their own best interests. Smart but dumb. My daughter is a prime example. She is smart as all get out; she's conservative in her personal life, yet she rejects conservatism in favor of leftist ideology that she can't even explain half the time. She thinks people who don't wear masks are Donald Trump supporters who don't care about the safety of others. And, she wears masks outside. Silly girl.
