Good Morning Azizi-

We all know the word Jewish, just like the words Islamic, Hindu, Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist etc., is spelled with a capital letter because it is regarded as a proper noun. I have never spelled "black" when referring to an individual within an ethnic group with a capital, nor have I ever capitalized white. I guess because I regarded them as merely descriptive rather than definitive, and, though none of the recent posts you refer to are mine, I would never in a million years have considered my use of a small b as an insult, yet to you it obviously is.

It's just one example of how easy it is for us to misunderstand each other's motives and messages when we're living in a society so tinged with the residue of racism. Thanks for pointing out something I have surely been doing, something that needs to be changed.

As an aside, I noticed my Webster's Dictionary capitalizes Arab, Negro, Jew, Caucasion and Oriental, but not Black. Time for webster to change too.
