Some outlets like the New York Times have their own style guides for journalists to follow when writing stories, but most reporters rely on the Associated Press Stylebook - it's what we use here at Twitchy when looking up things like whether to capitalize "evangelicals" or "constitutional."

Over the years we've made note of some revisions to the style guide: In 2013 the AP dropped "illegal immigrant" from its Stylebook, and in 2017, the AP added a "Q" to LGBT and gave the OK to use "they" as a singular, gender-neutral pronoun to take the place of the binary "he or she."

Now the Associated Press style guide has made a change we haven't quite caught up to yet: When referring to race, Black is now capitalized while white remains in lowercase. The AP explains that "there was clear desire and reason to capitalize Black." Well, maybe the desire was clear, but the reason isn't. ...

WOW, these infantile libtards have quite simply tied themselves up into hilarious knots of abject stupidity! 

Emilita ~ You did it!!!! You cured racism!!! WOW!!
