I'll write it however everyone wants, but I sort of thought it was some idea from the New York Times and not necessarily what the black community wants per se.

I'm a white guy, but that seems weird to me. We capitalize a country or origin (e.g., English, African), but not a description. We don't capitalize "redhead" or "tall."

    We do capitalise community names though - like deaf vs Deaf.

    This is the same, it's not being used as a description of how someone looks, but to what community they belong.
