Harris, a Black former prosecutor and now an advocate for police reform, seems uniquely positioned to speak to the crisis.
"Advocate for police reform" you say? When did that happened?
Also, why did they capitalize "Black"?
Anyways, it's nice see them freak out at their own incompetence. Any ghoul around the world would give their firstborn for a chance like this to capitalize on a tragedy/social unrest, but they are too incompetent for that; or they prefer to tell you "FUCK YOU" instead of winning.
It’s common attempt to be woke thing, common to capitalize Black. I do it myself (i am Black) but usually when white libs do it it’s fake woke shit like this
It's kind of weird from a grammatical perspective, but not a big deal. I do worry it will lead to more people capitalizing "White" which is fucking gross
grammar is actually why you should capitalize it. you're talking about a specific group of people with a shared history, culture, etc.: the descendants of slavery in the US. you should not capitalize white for the same reason: it's an unspecific group with ever-shifting boundaries.
Typically, races are capitalized when they include a proper noun: black vs. African-American, white vs. Italian-American, and so on. I mean grammar is ultimately arbitrary, so I don't care, but having a shared experience is not a grammatical reason to capitalize something.
Being well defined is also not a usual reason to capitalize something, and saying it should be capitalized because it's a proper noun is just circular logic. Why do you think it's important that there's an accepted grammatical rule that is going to explain capitalizing Black but not white? If you want to capitalize it to emphasize the shared history of Black people, then just do it. You don't need the academy to approve. Do you think bell hooks was like paging through Strunk & White until she found the loophole that would allow her to decapitalize her pen name?

They are half milisecond away from capitalize "Cop"
It’s is gross

no, I'm saying it's a proper and well-defined noun so you should capitalize it, the same way you do every other proper and well-defined noun.
