Introduced in July by Associated Press, whose manual of style is what directs journalists and authors to, and how to, it's not mandatory, but people follow the, generally follow the AP, Associated Press, manual of style.
And the reasoning that they give, If I were to read it to you, you would realize the corruption of everything.
In fact, I will read it to you.
AP changes writing style to capitalize B in black.
So, let's see.
Nope, one second.
That's the story of it.
Here is the reasoning.
I hope that this is the...
Yes, you ready?
Here it is.
This is now, remember, so for example, the AP style, where do you put a quotation mark?
Is it after the period of a sentence or before?
When is it before?
When is it after?
So it's useful in having a standardized mode of writing English.
So this is July 20th 2020 from the AP explaining AP style on black and white AP style is now to capitalize black in a racial ethnic or cultural sense conveying an essential and shared sense of history identity and community among people who identify as black including those in the African diaspora And within Africa.
The lowercase black is a color, not a person.
AP Style will continue to lowercase the term white in racial, ethnic, and cultural sense.
You know, good.
Sean, I want you to know that your bewildered look was actually helpful to me.
It's not even separate or not equal, that's true.
It's moronic.
Do you understand that we are led by people with no commitment to truth?
We will manipulate the English language because we want to show you how sensitive we are to black people.
Every time I see black capitalized, I know that I have met a member of the herd.
you People who follow what others do because they don't want to stick out.
Which is the human condition.
The nail that sticks out is hammered back in and people don't want to be hammered back in.
That's a very famous phrase I'm told in Japan.
The nail that sticks out is hammered in.
There's a certain amount of social, what's the word that I'm looking for?
Not assimilation, but consistency in people's behavior.
commonality in people's behavior they won't be so this will really this I learned yesterday from my syndicator who edits my one who's one of whose editors sends my column out each week and it's sent out Monday night so it's up there today on this subject you I According to AP, you cannot say a black.
You didn't know this, I'm sure.
So, for example, you can't say, I was speaking to a black the other day, and he said, can't say that.
You know what you're supposed to say?
Try a guess.
A black person.
Interesting, no?
So, to show you how all of this is a dismissal of blacks as normal.
They must be treated differently than all others.
Would you say...
Yesterday I spoke to a Canadian person.
I spoke to an American person.
I spoke to a white person.
Why does it have to be a black person?
Because the left has contempt for blacks.
It's so obvious that...
I feel almost foolish stating the obvious.
Why isn't it clear to you?
If you are black, do you understand the contempt with which you are held by the entire left?
You are used.
You're useful idiots for the left's attempt to take over power.
That's all you are.
A black person, you can't say a black, but you could say a white, an American, a Canadian.
Why can't you say a black?
And the whole premise is wrong.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Why?
Why do they capitalize it?
Because it conveys an essential and shared sense of history, identity, and community among people who identify as black.
What does that even mean, identify as black?
You mean it's not an objective reality?
Do you identify as white?
Do you identify?
If it is a matter of identifying, then these whites who say they're black are fine.
Right?
Why are they considered frauds?
Those who identify as black.
I mean, where does that end?
Well, it's already begun in the sexual arena, right?
Those who identify as male, those who identify as female, those who identify as black.
I guess white, though, is a given.
There's no such thing as identify as white.
A shared sense of history, identity, and community.
That is white leftist.
Ignorance of the world of blacks.
This is not white fragility.
Well, yes, and there's an odd sense.
It's actually whites believing in black fragility.
That's what it really is.
There's a shared sense of history, identity, and community among people who identify as black?
You should see the Prager University video this week from a woman from Cameroon, West Africa.
She'll be on this hour.
It's perfect.
Perfect.
Did my wife tell me she got 20 marital, or did you tell me?
I confuse my spouses.
You told me that?
But she got a whole bunch of marriage proposals?
Makes sense to me.
I love that.
You know, I'm so pro-marriage.
I think it's awesome.
I gotta ask her about that.
So I'm sure she'll be a little embarrassed.
Where does she live?
Washington, D.C. So she'll be on at, what do we say, at the bottom of the hour?
I like to talk radio talk.
I think everybody else says 30, but we say the bottom of the hour.
So what exactly?
There's a shared sense of history, identity, and community among people who identify as black?
Really?
So what does a black who grows up in the Bronx have in common with a black who grows up in Congo?
Nothing.
They have as much in common as I do.
Or, no, no, no, as I do with the person growing up in Congo, I have a lot more in common with the person growing up in the Bronx.
Or let's put it this way.
A black American has a lot more in common with a white American than with a black African.
That's a fact.
It's not an opinion, it's just a fact.
We speak the same language.
We have the same cultural experiences to a large extent.
I mean, to the extent that anybody is shaped by their environment, as we all are, we share a similar environment.
Not the same.
I don't have the same environment as my producer.
Nobody has identical environments, but still.
If you're raised in America, you have more in common.
With another American of any race than you do with somebody on another continent in most cases.
