The AP has literally said the standard should be to capitalize black when talking about an ethnicity, but not to capitalize white when used in the same way, because white people don't have any culture or some shit.
Well, at least she won't get pregnant while she is locked up, which is more than I can say for many of her peer group. And she isn't a "child". She is a teenager who attacked her Mother on several occasions.
NYP refuses to capitalize White. Specifically I mean. Psychology wise they are trying to foment tribal unity of one sector without unifying another one. Its backfiring.
In this instance, Black is acting as a proper noun for the girl. It is being used as a title, i.e., President Trump. President is the proper noun, and therefore capitalized.
You NEVER capitalize an adjective. Idiots. I thought the style guide was for when using the term BY ITSELF to describe race.
Waiting for the AP style guide to say that White should henceforth be spelled as ~WhItE~
As in, my ~WhItE~ ass is getting sick of this BS.

EDIT: lol, reading that article again, it says it's racist to capitalize white, and it's also racist to not capitalize white
By capitalizing "Black" they are saying that black people are different. Other. Special.
By NOT capitalizing "white" they are saying that white is generic, the default.
So why do they want black people to be different and special?
Why are they OTHERIZING black people?
Because they are racist as hell, that's why.

Awfully bigoted of you to imply that females can’t have working male genitalia capable of impregnating other women.
Yo, it was her Black mother that called the cops LOL. Guess she's a white supremacist?

I mean, technically, the headline isn't wrong.
She also got arrested after drinking water, showering, eating, walking, and dressing herself.
It never specifies "... For not doing..." it's just "... After not doing"

Also when they refer to criminals as “teens”
The real victim here is a Black Mother.
What are you talking about her mother should be arrested for racism right?
Right, what was I thinking!
Maybe not. In my experience, when a kid acts out, there is usually an adult misbehaving in the background.
Edit: The kid also "has" ADD. This is probably a case of child abuse. The mother may have no idea how to provide a peaceful, calm household.

Heads up, you left black capitalized in your title...but in any event, whole capitalization thing is an egregious double standard at best.
I did that intentionally, just to show how retarded it is.
Untrue. The AP style guidelines are cucked. I have to abide by them for my job but I ain't propagandizing jack.
Where's the part where she attacked her mother
