== Black or black? ==
I'm almost afraid to ask, but I need to know before I do any editing: Should it be Black or black? It's both ways throughout the article. (The ] article uses Black throughout.) I probably needn't add that both Black and black are used interchangeably throughout ''many'' other articles. I'm thinking a whole lot of editing might need to be done throughout Misplaced Pages.
Shouldn't we be consistent? Or does it really even matter? Is there a stated WP policy on this? Is there a better place on WP to bring this up? Apologies for my ignorance, but I'm a newbie. :)
In an effort to be a ''real'' troublemaker, I've also asked about White vs. white in the ] article. ] (]) 08:37, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

No. Absolutely not. Even ignoring the fallacious Ngram argument (which clearly doesn't take into account other uses of the term 'blacks'), it is offensive. This article is about people, who deserve to be described as such. AndyTheGrump (talk) 04:11, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm almost afraid to ask, but I need to know before I do any editing: Should it be Black or black? It's both ways throughout the article. (The African Americans article uses Black throughout.)
