Is it proper to use a capital B when referring to POC and a lowercase w when referring to white people? I'm doing some revisions and don't want to overlook this before I submit for publishing.

Shitty bait thread. No, unless you're writing for one of those god-awful internet news publications like fuckin Buzzfeed or some shit. Either capitalize both Black and White, or leave both of them lowercase.

Yes. For example, “Black” or “Blackness” is correct, whereas “black” or “blackness” are not.

Likewise, “White/Whiteness” is incorrect, and “white/whiteness” is correct.

Yes and in fact the AP Press recommends it!
