So by that logic Obama should be small capital black since his father was from the wrong side of Africa and not a slave. When will we have our first Black president who isn't just black?

And what of the whites in Africa. Do we capitalize only the Boers who suffered a genocide from the British? Is Musk the only W white we can talk about? That poor richest man with such historic baggage. Truly the best role model for all African Americans.

Oh the racialist hierarchies we build.

I really do think this rings of a similar problem of Americans imposing their lens of reality onto the rest of the English-speaking world.

Not sure why you’re injecting inflammatory bile into an otherwise civil thread. If you read past the first sentence, you’ll refute your own point. Think before trolling.
